8th Grade Superzero HC

Description

"8:08 A.M.

I'm like a boxer before the title fight. Except I'm not in the ring, I'm in the auditorium. About to be front and center stage. Again.

I will not lose my breakfast. I will not lose my breakfast.

Joe C. and Ruthie are right behind me - they've got my back no matter what. Charlie's in the audience, probably so excited he can't stay in his seat. And Mialonie Davis, the most beautiful girl in the world...

I got this. Right?

I know Donovan is out there too, hating me more than ever. But what matters now is the Olive Branch Shelter, and Clarke Junior School here in Brooklyn, and getting through this speech alive.

I will not lose my breakfast.

This all started with George at the Olive Branch. Or in homeroom with the election announcement. Or maybe back when I got my nickname, right here on this very stage.

Maybe I should just tell you the whole story..."
