a hundred times. But he thinks itтАЩs cool, so I donтАЩt care. It scares my dad,
IтАЩm not sure why. I think he worries that IтАЩm like my mother. But this doc-tor
said it was just a brain thing, that IтАЩm kind of cross-wired and sound turns
into color for me. But it still scares him. I liked the doctor, but his voice was
a yucky, puke green color, and we moved again right after. We move a lot.
Even if I donтАЩt talk about synesthesia.

тАЬYou can put your books away now.тАЭ Mrs. B is staring at the clock, and
her hands are kind of fluttering. тАЬWeтАЩre going to have a special visit from the
new principal. Mr. Teleomara ran a very successful private school in New
York and weтАЩre incredibly lucky to have him.тАЭ She pats her hair and glances
at her reflection in the glass of Mr. BeasleyтАЩs aquarium. Is that lipstick? I
canтАЩt believe it, but yeah, sheтАЩs smearing it on, real sneaky, with her back to
us like we canтАЩt see. And she has to be a hundred years old. Well, fifty
anyway.

тАЬI want you on your best behavior,тАЭ she says, and pins Jeremy and
me with the Death Eye. тАЬAny disturbance and weтАЩll have a quiz on fractions
every single day for the next week.тАЭ

Great, now everybodyтАЩs looking at us. Jeremy makes this innocent
face that makes everybody laugh and I just look at my book. Trying real
hard to look real well behaved. NobodyтАЩs seen the new principal. HeтАЩs
supposed to be real strict and probably eats babies. You know. I keep
pretending to be really into my fractions as Mrs. B goes all high-pitched and
breathy at the door, welcoming him.

тАЬHello, class. IтАЩm delighted to meet you.тАЭ Deep voice.

Silver?

I blink. It kind of sparkles in the air, like glitter. Never seen that before.
So I look up and heтАЩs tall and looks like a movie star, which is why the
lip-stick on Mrs. B, I guess. SheтАЩs patting her hair again and smirking and
her voice has this greenish tinge now. Even Mr. Beasley gets into the act,
hiss-ing purple all over the place. And I look, and then I look again. HeтАЩs
now got a bright blue jewel right in the center of his head and heтАЩs got
human eyes, you know, with an iris and pupil.

And yeah, he does not like me.

Something is wrong here.

тАЬAh, a reptile lover.тАЭ

Mr. Beasley hisses real purple and I look back quick at my book, but
itтАЩs too late. The new principal comes over to stand right next to my desk.
HeтАЩs smiling, and you know what? His smile makes me think of Mr.
BeasleyтАЩs. I donтАЩt think he likes me, either.
