Jack Is a Maniac! 11 Teamwork The bear got up on its hind legs and let out another roar. Everybody was frozen. Well, everybody wasn’t really frozen. If everybody had been frozen, we would have been made out of ice cubes. “We’re all going to die!” whispered Emily. I’m sure she would have run out of the gym if the bear wasn’t blocking the door. That’s when Andrea whispered in my ear. “We’ve got to do something, Arlo!” “We? Like what?” I whispered back. “What are we going to do? Leave me out of this.” “Come on!” Andrea grabbed my hand and pulled me up. We went running over to the bear. “We’ve got to intimidate the bear,” Andrea told me. “How are we gonna do that?” “Eeee-yah!” she screamed. Then Andrea jumped up and karate-chopped the bear right in his stomach! Well, the bear must not have expected that. He turned around angrily and took a swipe at me with his razor-sharp claws. I dove out of the way. He missed me by inches! “We’ve got to make ourselves look bigger!”
