Book Excerpt:

After what happened to all of us, most normal moms would set an appointment with the principal and get to the bottom of the issue. Not my mom though. First, she called everyone’s mom on the phone. She made me go to bed, but I could still hear her screaming and going off. She must have been talking to Sheila or Lulu’s mom. “Did you see what they did to Domanique? Oh no, that won’t happen to my baby. I am calling the police and going up to that school on Monday morning. I know the rules. Those kids can’t get away with doing that stuff.”

I thought my mom was bluffing until I heard the police knock on the door. I heard only a little, but enough to know that they filled out a report and left. I heard the front door close and lock. Then I saw the light go off in the hallway. I swallowed hard thinking about tomorrow. I know my mom was mad that she had to take off work to handle stuff like this, but I knew she was just trying to protect me. I figured that the crew would get us back after my mom came to the school, but I had to do something.
