Question

5. The next day at school, people were acting even
more strange than usual. I was getting ready for gym
class at my locker. People were milling around me,
asking me to hurry up. I thought it strange, but in the
light of the past few weeks, nothing would surprise
me. It almost seemed that they were trying to shove
me into the gym — then I saw why. There was a big
table set up with all kinds of stuff on it, just for me.
They had taken up a collection and bought me
school supplies…
