Well this next 7 chapters start with Juniors dad taking him to his new school in Reardan. He goes to the first day of school with a black eye from when Rowdy punched him and a garbage bag with his books and materials. In school he is givin hes ID, schedual and his homeroom by Melinda who was "hot for an old woman". He thought that she was pretty hot. In class he introduced himself by the name of Junior but the teacher said Arnold which was the first time we knew his other name. Kids laughed but he didnt care he just said that in that school he was Arnold and back home he as Junior. That was the class that he met Penelope. Not one week later and Arnold had already gotten in a fight because some kids bullied him calling him names so he just didnt stand it and he fought. He ´punched a kid named Roger which told Arnold that the fight between them wanst over. At that point Arnold wanted Rowdy to be with him so he can protect him but unfortunatly Rowdy hated him aswell. That day he saw her grandmother who was "always right" she told him that Roger wasnt going to fight back and that now Roger respected Arnold but Arnold just nodded and think she was crazy. The next morning Arnolds dad couldnt take him to school because the car didnt had enough gas so Arnold started walking the 22 miles to school. While walking to school Arnold ranned to Eugene who was his dads best friend who was always drunk and had a motorcycle. Eugene gave Arnold a ride to school. When he got there everyone saw that he got to school on a motorcycle and Roger saw it aswell. Roger didnt punched him that day, actually he talked to Arnold and nicely. Apparently grandma was right that Roger had respect for Arnold now. Junior tells us how he is really emotional when it comes to girls because he old us a story of a girl he loved 2 years before when he was 12 and how she didnt loved him. He started talking about all this since he has some feeling towards penelope that blonde girl of his class. In halween while making treat of treat to get some money 3 kids jumped him and spited on him and everything, they even took his money. The next day he told penelope about it and Penelope actually was worried and cared about Arnold. H e thought one of the kids that jumped him was probably Rowdy. After some lonley weeks for Arnold and the news that hes sister raned out to montana with some guy and that they got married Arnold met Gordy, a kid who have stuff in common with Arnold. They studied together a lot and became good friends quickly.
"They didnt beat me up too bad. I could tell they didnt wanted to put me on the hospital or anything, mostly they just wanted to remaind me that i was a traidor and that they wanted my money and candy."
This is the quote that explains better when the three kids with frankenstain masks jumped him. He said traidor because he changed of school and the people of his society didnt saw him the same way as before. I think that Arnold shouldev defended himself from those kids since he really needed that money and he wated all his time trick or tricking for nothing.
"I wished Rowdy was still my friend. i could have sent him aster Roger. It would have been like king kong battling Godzilla."
This is the night after Arnold punched that kid in the face. He was really scared of what the kid was going to do to him the next day so he was thinking how would it had been if Rowdy was still his friend. Arnold wanted Rowdy to be hes friend at that point but things had changed. He was taking for granted what he did.
This chapters were really fun and interesting to read. I want to know what happens next. I hope that Arnold makes some new friends besides Gordy. I predict that Arnold and Rowdy are somehow going to be friends again and their going to do some fun stuff. As of now im really liking this book.
