    Chapter

    1

    Going Buggy

    Helen Zuckerman waltzed into room 201 like a movie star. No, she wasn’t sporting sunglasses or a mink coat. There were no bodyguards or flashing cameras. Helen had something better. Something that turned her into an instant celebrity.

    She wore a cast on her left arm.

    Even better, she had a black eye.

    The girls in the room quickly gathered around Helen, like bees buzzing around spring’s first flower. Danika Starling grabbed a marker. They all eagerly signed Helen’s bright purple cast.

    Clap, clap.

    Automatically, the class responded to our teacher’s signal. CLAP, CLAP, CLAP. All eyes turned toward Ms. Gleason.

    Good morning, boys and girls. Happy Monday, Ms. Gleason chimed. She looked at Helen and frowned. Helen, dear, what in the world happened to you?

    Helen beamed. I broke my arm in two places!

    The room filled with appreciative murmurs. Anybody can break an arm. But breaking it in two places—that took talent. Helen told us about her accident on the trampoline in her backyard. She did a flop when she meant to flip and went boom when she meant to zoom.

    Did it hurt very, very much? asked Geetha Nair in her shy, quiet voice.

    Helen grinned. Sure, at first. But it doesn’t bother me now. Helen banged the cast on a desk. Pretty cool, huh?
