101 Ways To Bug Your Friends And Enemies (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Mom mumbled the next afternoon as she rifled through her gargantuan purse. I checked my watch. 1:33 p.m. Joonbi’s party had started at 1:00. Because of Mom, I was late. As usual. If only I could be late enough to miss the entire party. After last night, I didn’t feel much like celebrating. Or seeing Hayley. Or anyone else, for that matter. “I should just stay home,” I said aloud. “Nonsense, I’ll find them!” Mom dumped her purse contents onto the kitchen table. “But my knee really hurts,” I said, hobbling a bit for effect. “Maybe it’s broken.” I told Mom I’d injured it yesterday afternoon at hapkido. Actually, I’d banged it last night while diving through the Windmill’s window. Mom laughed. “You’ve been hanging around Mr. Hypochondriac too long. Your knee is bruised—not an acceptable excuse for bailing on a party at the last minute.” “What is, then?” I asked. “Death. And perhaps bleeding from the eyes. Ah-ha!” Mom dangled her keys like a noisy wind chime.
