Then something happened at school the next day that really surprised me. It happened after health class, on the way to lunch. In class, I had put on my glasses as soon as I sat down, because I had pretty much gotten into the habit of doing that. Across the room, I saw Callie of the BFC kind of staring at me, and I felt a little nervous. Was she going to call me Four Eyes too? I didn’t really think she would, because Callie is the nicest member of the BFC. There was a time when I hung out with them for a little while, and Callie almost never said anything mean about anybody when the girls were gossiping. Sometimes I still hang out with the BFC if I run into them in the mall when I’m clothes shopping (which is a lot, as you can tell). Katie hates clothes shopping, so I don’t feel bad about hanging out with them, and besides, she understands. But Callie’s staring made me nervous—you never know with those BFC girls. So I tensed up a little bit when she walked up to me after class.
