    About this ebook

    Lawrence hates being teased about his dimples, but nothing he does seems to make any difference. Joe goes right on teasing him, and the teasing gets meaner and meaner. Finally, Lawrence notices something about his friend Stewart that may provide the tool he needs to tease-proof himself once and for all.

      After “The End”

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Chapter One

      You’re So Cute

      On the first day of school, our new teacher, Ms. Parks, spotted me. I smiled at her. Right away, I knew that I had made a mistake.

      Will the boy in the blue sweater with the cute dimples in the second row please stand? she boomed.

      Cute! I groaned.

      Young man, Ms. Parks boomed again, please stand.

      Everyone’s eyes were on me.

      And then a rumbly voice from behind me said with a snicker, Look at Dimple Boy!

      I knew that voice.

      Everyone at school knew that voice.

      It was Joe Morse.

      What’s your name? Ms. Parks asked me.

      Lawrence, I whispered.

      Speak up. Repeat your name loudly—with confidence, she said.

      Lawrence, I said.

      Thank you, Lawrence. You may sit down.

      I sat down. My face burned.

      I heard Joe laughing behind me. I turned around.

      Joe was drilling holes into his cheeks with his fingers. He stuck out his tongue like he was going to be sick.

      I wanted to say something, do something, anything, to make him stop. But what?

      Ms. Parks handed out our new math book.

      Write your name in pencil on the inside cover, she told us.

      I wrote my first name. On the first letter of my last name, my pencil point snapped like a twig.

      I looked in my pencil case. My new baseball pencil and hot-dog eraser were gone. Eloise! My little sister Eloise always pokes into my stuff.

      I looked around the classroom. The pencil sharpener was at the back of the room, past Joe’s desk. The last thing I wanted to do was pass Joe.

      Psst, Stewart, I said.

      My friend Stewart was sitting in the first row. He was
