THE
SECRET SPY CLUB
CHAPTER
ONE
I
felt like I was going to throw up. I just got off the Dare to Enter. Oh, I forgot the
important stuff. I’m Luke. I’m a secret spy. Shhh…
don’t tell. I’ve been able to keep the secret for three years straight.
I’m not the only spy. I’m just the secret spy club’s leader.
The other two spies are Potato and Fluffy. And boy, are they weird!
I
know they have really stupid names. Well, I’m not the mom. But if I was
their mom, I would name them Warthead and
Bigeyes.
I know its rude, but just look at them!
Now, our biggest
problem is school. We all hate it. I fall asleep in every class. ZZZZ…
Math is the worst. There’s all these math people and they have a club
too. I don’t know if it’s a secret club, but I hope it is! I myself
would call it the dumb-dumb club. They all think they’re smart, but
they’re really dumb.
Now look at them!
U-G-L-Y!
CHAPTER
TWO
Now, let’s go on
with the story. O.K. where was I? Oh yeah. I felt like I needed to throw up. I triple-dog
dared Potato to go on the Dare to Enter in the front seat. He said he would
only do it if I did it. But it’s always worth doing something scary if
Potato does it after. Once I saw him, I said “Your turn.” Then he
screamed at the top of his lungs. I was so lucky that his dad came along with
him or else I would have a heart attack. Phewww…
So he actually got in line. He was first,
so he got a super good chance to make the first seat.
But unfortunately, I
could see a mather standing
in line. Uh oh! But when I got closer I realized it was just Calculator.
Potato sat down in the
front seat. But then Calculator sat down with him. Minus one spy I thought. But when I got over to him everything
seemed normal besides the drooling, stumbling and one hair on fire.
“911” I mumbled.
CHAPTER
THREE
After the fire department
left, me and Potato left. Potato’s dad went the opposite way. It was a
Friday (which I forgot to mention) probably as sunny as a Friday could be. When
we were probably a half-mile home, we had to run in to the Jo brothers. But
worse than that, behind them were the other two mathers:
Bignose and the leader Bigchin. We turned around. And of course, there was
Calculator.
We knew we could
probably escape from Calculator, but we weren’t going that way. We could
also step over Bignose but Bigchin was next to him. We were trapped.
Patrick, one of the Jo
brothers said “Let’s get this war started!” and Evan the
other Jo brother said “Yeah!”
“Wait a minute guys” said Bigchin. He got an idea. I could
tell by the little light bulb floating over his head. Uh oh I thought. Ideas were bad. Well, Bigchin’s ideas were
super bad.
CHAPTER
FOUR
A
trap I figured. “O.K.,” said Bigchin
“The deal is 3-16-15-20-5-19-20.” He has a made up language called
the numbie. He uses numbers instead of letters. Don’t even ask how I
figured it out.
After a long silence, I
said “Contest? The deal is contest?” “Yup” said the mathers. Think I
told myself. What does war have to do
with contest? Then I got an answer.
“We will enter
the talent show. Both teams” said Bigchin. Did I mention that the mathers know our secret spy club? Well they do. That’s
what bothers me. Why is it called the secret spy club if it’s not secret?
“But the contest isn’t fair if we have two and you have
three” I said. You see, Fluffy left on a vacation two weeks ago. A great
talent show battle has equal teams. Well, sometimes the good guys are a bit
outnumbered so I just said “4-5-1-12.” Then I translated
“Deal!”
CHAPTER
FIVE
Once I woke up from
bed, I looked at the calendar. And guess what today was? It was Halloween! So I went downstairs.
We had our pumpkins carved. I think that mine is the best. Have a look for
yourself!
“BOOOOO!!!”
ha! Got ya.
I woke up late. Really late. The time was 11:07. I went outside and I
realized the talent show was in two days. One day to practice.
Time passed by quickly
so it was 6:01. We start by 7:00. I walked around in circles. I looked at the
time. 6:59. Great! I got on my costume. I was a giant cookie. Don’t ask.
I
LOVE Halloween. In fact, it’s my favorite
holiday. I saw Calculator in a princess costume. How embarrassing. My third worst enemy in a Cinderella suit.
I went to the
Foster’s house first. I got two rocks, a toothbrush and a water bottle.
Then
to the Craaper’s. They gave me a Wegman’s bag, a brochure of the Bahamas and a diet
coke. Well, I guess I could use the diet coke.
When I got back to my
house I only got a crumpled chocolate bar, a scrap of tinfoil and a walnut. The
others got wet from the rain. So much for this Halloween.
CHAPTER
SIX
Wow. Today is practice
day. Four hours of boring talents. At least Fluffy is back from the Bahamas. It
looks pretty good in the brochure.
Fluffy
came to my house wearing a Hawaiian t-shirt with flowers on it and dark
sunglasses. “Hello peopllleee!”
he said as he tripped on a stick. “Ow.”
“I heard about
the talent show,” he told me “I’ll join.” Great I thought. An extra participate.
We tried our art skills
but that didn’t work out.
Then
we tried a solo sing, but that wasn’t so good either.
Then
I found my talent. I was great at acting. I asked Fluffy if he liked the wizard
of Oz. He said yes. Then I asked Potato if he liked the wizard of Oz. He said
yes. Lights, camera, action
I thought. I’ve got a show to do. Well, we have a show to do.
CHAPTER
SEVEN
Once I finished my
test, I jumped out of my seat. I handed it to my teacher and then went outside
for recess. My fellow spies were waiting for me. Today was the day of the
talent show, which starts in exactly in two minutes.
When the bell rang, I
went downstairs to the talent show. Fluffy and Potato came with me to watch the
other participators. I thought that Benny’s knock-knock jokes were as
funny as a social studies test. Harold’s egg-salad sandwich sounds like
it would taste like puke. Every kid booed.
Then the mathers came on stage. I couldn’t help laughing at
their costumes. Bigchin was a one. Calculator was a times sign. And Bignose was
a six.
“O.K.,”
said Bigchin “Let’s do some math!” “Booooo!!!”
said the audience. They threw tomatoes or crumpled pieces of paper at them.
“One times one is one” said Bigchin. The mathers
formed this problem with their costumes.
“And six times
one is six” said Bigchin. “You see, if you divide the EE system and
multiply the 4TTY system…” and then the crowd said
“BOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”
CHAPTER
EIGHT
It was our turn.
“9-12-12 7-5-22 25-15-23!!!” yelled Bigchin as he went off stage. I’ll get you I thought. Uh oh. He thought we ruined his act.
We got on stage. The
background turned blue. We set up some yellow cardboard pieces in a line. Then
we put up two small houses that were cardboard too. I hid behind a house.
Fluffy hid behind the other one. Potato (in case you wanted to know) was
against the wall in a Dorothy costume and was holding a basket with a
fluff-ball in it.
When Potato started
walking down the “yellow brick road” I jumped out and started
singing: Follow the Yellow Brick Road. I was embarrassed a little bit but then
Fluffy came out of his house and sang with me. Then we all got on the
“yellow brick road” Then the crowd went wild.
Instead of throwing
tomatoes or crumpled pieces of paper the crowd threw flowers at us.
“Thank you,” I said “Thank you very much!”
The next day I went to the mather’s hideout. I knocked.
No answer. So I knocked again. Still no answer.
“It’s Calculator” I tricked. “Come in then” said
Bigchin. So then I told him that we didn’t ruin his act. He believed me. “Enemies?” I asked. “Enemies” he
said. Then we shook hands.
