When 1:45 came, half the class left, and Danny Hupfer whispered, If she gives you a cream puff after we leave, I'm going to kill you - which was not something that someone headed off to prepare for his bar mitzvah should be thinking.When 1:55 came and the other half of the class left, Meryl Lee whispered, If she gives you one after we leave, I'm going to do Number 408 to you. I didn't remember what Number 408 was, but it was probably pretty close to what Danny Hupfer had promised.Even Mai Thi looked at me with narrowed eyes and said, I know your home. Which sounded pretty ominous.
