    My Weirder School #2 - Dan Gutman

    Chapter 1

    School for Cavemen

    My name is A.J. and I hate coffee.

    I do! Did you ever taste coffee? I tried it once and I thought I was gonna throw up.

    My parents drink coffee every day with breakfast. What’s up with that?

    If I don’t get my cup of coffee in the morning, my dad said, I’m a mess.

    How can you drink that stuff? I asked him. It tastes like dirt.

    Well, it was just ground this morning, he replied. And then he slapped his knee and bent over laughing even though he didn’t say anything funny.¹

    I was thinking about it. There must be some chemical in the brain that gets activated when you become a grown-up. Then, suddenly, you start to drink coffee, eat vegetables, wear a tie, and go to craft fairs. There’s no other way to explain why grown-ups willingly do any of that stuff.

    I was walking to school with my friends Ryan, Michael, and Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes. These annoying girls—Andrea, Emily, and Alexia—were behind us as we climbed up the front steps. That’s when I saw this big sign . . .

    a1

    Wow, I didn’t know it was the school’s birthday, said Michael, who never ties his shoes.

    We should give the school a party, said Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn’t food.

    Schools don’t get birthday parties, said Andrea, rolling her eyes. They’re not people.

    That’s right, said Emily, who always agrees with everything Andrea says.

    Fifty years! Alexia said. "That’s a long time!"

    Yeah, I told everybody, when the school first opened, the students were probably cavemen.

    I’ll bet they taught the kids reading, writing, and how to start a fire by rubbing two sticks together, said Neil.

    And they didn’t have to learn history back then, Ryan said, because nothing happened yet!

    Me and the guys laughed and high-fived each other. It was hilarious.

    Boys! Andrea said, rolling her eyes again.

    Hey, said Alexia, back in those days, instead of buses, kids probably rode to school on dinosaurs.

    I laughed and high-fived Alexia. She is pretty cool even though she’s a girl.

    Andrea put on her mean face.

    "The dinosaurs died millions of years ago, Alexia! she said. That was long before there were people."

    Can you possibly be any more boring? Alexia asked Andrea.

    Wow! That’s what I was going to say!

    Andrea gave Alexia another mean face.

    Michael pulled open the front door of the school. That’s when we saw the strangest thing in the history of the world.

    But I’m
