That afternoon, when the the Cruel Crew showed up at the park, there were no Rollerbladers in sight. The Rollerblading competition had been moved to school grounds and was sponsored by Ms. Mench as part of her new activity club. Manny took first place. He was amazing, pulling off moves Liz had never heard of. (So that’s why some things he’d said during their first Rollerblading conversation hadn’t made sense.) Manny was suddenly very popular. Everyone crowded around him. Liz didn’t want to be the conversation stealer this time. She did want to be a participant, though. So she walked right up to the group and chimed in, “Well, Ms. Mench, thanks again for sponsoring the competition. You’ve got twelve new members for your Rollerblading and bug-keeping club right here!”
