    My Weirder School #12 - Dan Gutman

    My name is A.J. and I hate getting hit by water balloons.

    Do you and your friends ever have water balloon jousts? Water balloon jousting is the coolest sport ever. Especially when you joust on bikes.

    One time we were having a water balloon joust on the grassy field next to our school. My friend Alexia and I were the knights. We got on our bikes at opposite ends of the field. Our friends Ryan and Michael were the squires. Squires are people who help the knights. Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes, was the judge. He put a line of orange cones on the grass so Alexia and I wouldn’t crash into each other.

    I put on my bike helmet. Alexia put on her helmet.

    Hand me my water balloon, squire, I told Michael.

    Yes, my liege.*

    Michael handed me a big red water balloon. Ryan handed Alexia a blue water balloon at the other end of the field.

    Are the knights ready? shouted Neil.

    Ready! I shouted.

    Ready! Alexia shouted.

    On your mark . . . , yelled Neil. Get set! Joust!

    Kids, please don’t try this at home. We’re professionals.

    Alexia and I started pedaling toward each other. It’s not easy to pedal a bike on the grass while you’re holding a water balloon in one hand.

    We were getting closer to each other.

    I held up my water balloon, ready to let it fly.

    Alexia and I were twenty feet away from each other.

    Nail him, Alexia! shouted Ryan.

    You can do it, A.J.! shouted Michael.

    Alexia and I were ten feet away from each other.

    It’s really hard to hit somebody with a water balloon from a moving bike. You have to throw it at the exact perfect moment.

    Alexia and I were five feet away from each other. It was time.

    EEEEE-YAH! I hollered.

    Just as I was about to let go of my water balloon, Alexia heaved her balloon. It exploded all over me. I was soaked. My water balloon sailed wide, missing Alexia entirely.

    Bam! Alexia hollered as she rode by. In your face, A.J.!

    Alexia is the winner! shouted Neil.

    After that we switched places so Michael and Ryan would be the knights and Alexia and I would be their squires.

    It was a blast! I got nailed three or four times, but I hit Alexia a few times, too. Everybody was drenched and falling-down laughing. We kept jousting until we ran out of water balloons.

    That’s when the most amazing thing in
