Angie: This place is an ______________. But, you know, it’s nice to meet someone more interested in his mind than in his body.

Rowley: You girls get to jump rope. Why are you doing hiding?

Angie: ___________. It all starts in middle school, you know? You are not a kid anymore. The coddling has stopped. Kids are now separated by ________. The weak are picked on. And girls you’ve known since ______ won’t even talk to you anymore.

Greg: OK. Well, sounds like you got it all figured out, so go back to your book. Angie: This place is a ______ holding pen. It’s where adults put you as you make that ___________ between child and teenager, so they don’t even have to look at you.

Greg: I can’t be the guy who eats off his lap in the cafeteria. I should be at the top of the food chain by now. Something’s got to change, fast.

Rowley：My mom told me to just be myself and people would like me. Greg: That ________good advice if you _____ somebody else.

Greg: And I need something to make me a class favorite.

Angie: What about class favorites?

Greg: Don’t you ever say“Hi”or “Hello!” before you start talking？Rowley: Oh, Greg’s only here because he really wants something….

Greg: Rowley! I was just saying that I would really like to nail these people because it’s so obvious that they’re only doing these activities to get in the yearbook. Angie: You know, I like your point of view. You should sign up for the school paper. We are the voice of the people. Well, the people are mostly ______, so I guess, _________ speaking, we’re the voice of the people, making fun of the people.

Greg: Thanks, but I can’t be on the paper because I’m gonna be in the paper a lot. So that would be a ________ of interest.

Angie: You are the people. Got it.
