Ms. Todd Is Odd! Read Online Free Page B

Todd,” Michael told us. “We need to find outwhere she was two days ago, the last time Miss Daisy was seen alive.”
    We had to stop snooping around because Ms. Todd and the kids from our class came in. She told us all to sit down and then she started talking about Flag Day. Some countries have really dumb flags. *** . I think she made some of them up.
    â€œDoes anyone have any questions?” Ms. Todd finally asked.
    â€œI do,” I said. “Where were you two days ago?”
    â€œI beg your pardon?” asked Ms. Todd.
    â€œYou heard me,” I said. “Where were you two days ago?”
    â€œWhat does that have to do with Flag Day?” she asked.
    â€œDon’t want to answer, eh?” I said. “Then you must be guilty.”
    â€œGuilty of what?” Ms. Todd said. “It’s none of your business where I was two days ago.”
    â€œIf you won’t answer the questions,” I said, “we’re going to need your hair.”
    â€œMy hair?” asked Ms. Todd. “Why?”
    â€œWe need to run a DNA test so we can get the goods on you and throw you in the slammer.”
    I took my scissors out of my pencil box.
    â€œDon’t be ridiculous,” said Ms. Todd.
    â€œGive me your DNA,” I insisted, getting up from my desk.
    â€œNo!” said Ms. Todd, backing away from me.
    â€œShe’s getting away!” yelled Michael.
    So I did the only thing I could do. I started chasing Ms. Todd around the classroom.
    â€œA.J. is going crazy!” shouted Andrea.
    â€œWe’ve got to do something!” shouted Emily.
    â€œNever run with scissors!” yelled Ms. Todd.
    â€œGet her, Ryan!” shouted Michael, andthe three of us chased Ms. Todd around the classroom. It was a real Kodak moment.
    â€œYou’re under arrest for the murder of Miss Daisy!” Ryan yelled.
    â€œYou kids are crazy!” yelled Ms. Todd.
    â€œAdmit it!” I yelled. “You’re a killer robot clone! You want to take over the world!”
    â€œHelp!” yelled Ms. Todd.
    â€œYou have the right to remain silent,” Michael said. “Anything you say will be used against you.”
    â€œYou’re a bunch of little monsters!” Ms. Todd yelled. “I quit! I don’t want to be a teacher anymore!”

    Then she ran out the door. It was cool. You should have been there.
    Ms. Todd is odd.

The Truth About Ms. Todd
    After Ms. Todd ran away, none of us said anything for a million hundred seconds. I had never heard of a sub who freaked out and went nuts before. And we got to see it live and in person.
    But now that killer robot clone was on the loose. If we chased her outof school and around the parking lot, though, we’d be in big trouble.
    That’s when I thought of something. Ms. Todd forgot to take that piece of paper she was always writing on! I could grab it and hide it so nobody would ever know about all the bad stuff I did while we had a sub.
    What a genius idea. No wonder I’m gifted and talented.
    I went over to Miss Daisy’s desk.
    â€œYou better leave that paper alone, A.J.,” said Andrea.
    â€œMind your own beeswax, Andrea.”
    I found the piece of paper Ms. Todd had been writing on.
    â€œYou’re going to be in big trouble, A.J.,” said Andrea.
    I picked up the piece of paper.
    â€œI’m telling, A.J.,” said Andrea.
    I looked at the piece of paper.
    All the other kids got out of their seats and gathered around me. Even Andrea.
    This is what the piece of paper said….

    I’m not going to tell you.
    Okay, okay, I’ll tell you. This is what it said:
    T ITLE : My Wacky School By Arlene Todd
    C HARACTERS : Boy who hates school. Smart girl.
    B EGINNING : Sub arrives. Kids cough when she turns her back. Kids switch names to confuse sub. Kids tease each other. Kids are annoying.
    M IDDLE : Kids call each other “dumbhead.” Teacher says she reads all the
