Devin sorted through colored papers on his desk, looking for the
PERFECT paper to make the valentine. But all he had were green,
pink, and yellow. Way too nice.
"Would you like to use my special paper?" a soft voice asked.
Devin looked over to the next desk and saw Yuliya offering him a
silver wrapped box. Yuliya was new at school and so shy she NEVER
spoke to anyone. Everyone knew she lived in the weird Wildmare
Mansion and no one was brave enough to be her friend.
But Devin was feeling brave and reckless, so he took the box
from Yuliya. Inside were sheets of the most unusual paper he'd ever
seen; black-claw scratches around the edges and small blood-red
drops splattered on a bone-white background. There were even
matching envelopes.
"Cool!" Devin said. "Where'd you get the box?"
"I found it." She
pushed back her red hair and smiled shyly. "In my attic."
Devin shivered and decided that Yuliya must be very brave to go
into THAT spooky attic. He thanked her, and then begin to draw the
most WICKED valentine.
First he drew a picture of Mrs. Massey. Only instead of a mouth,
he gave her sharp fangs. And her body was shaped like a spider, with
six hairy arms and two big slimy red eyeballs. Her lizard tongue
whipped out like a rope and gross warts covered her face.
Then Devin wrote the poisonous words: "Don't be mine, Valentine!
BE-WARE!"
He didn't sign his name. Instead, he hid the valentine in his
backpack. Then during lunch while Mrs. Massey was away, he snuck
back into the classroom and slipped the valentine from his backpack,
placing it on the teacher's desk.
"There! That'll teach HER!" Smiling to himself, Devin started to
leave...only suddenly he heard a strange noise. PLOPP! FIZZLE!
GRRRR!
"What was that?"he murmured.
