‘Oh have you? What for?’
‘Where’s my fudge bar? I told you to bring it today.’
‘He must have forgot,’ Sparrow said bravely.
‘Who asked you, midget?’ sad Wicks, raising his fist. Sparrow ducked away.
Wicks held out his hand to Danny. ‘Fudge bar, Specs. You’d better have it.’
‘It’s in my bag,’ said Danny, ‘…But there’s one problem.’
‘Oh yeah, what?’
‘You can’t have it.’
He was amazed at the words he’d just spoken. It must have been the potion speaking. Wick’s mouth was open but nothing was coming out.
‘Say that again,’ he said at last.
‘I said it’s my fudge bar. You can get lost.’
A crowd was gathering round them. Danny could e Laura and her friends at the front. No one had ever told Wicks to get lost before, and they wanted to e would happen.
Danny felt scared but also reckless. It was as if the potion hand relead a cork inside him.
Wicks took hold of Danny’s arm and started to twist.
‘You go and get it right now, Specs.’

大无畏的意思The crowd laughed. They couldn’t believe their ears. Here was quiet Danny Doolan, standing up to the worst bully in the school.
Wicks was furious. He started to twist Danny’s arm harder. Danny felt as if it was on fire.
Then he heard Laura Mills’ voice call out, ‘Let him go, Grotgums!’ Someone el took it up and soon the whole crowd was chanting:
‘Grotugms! Grotugms!’
Wicks stared round at them, his face as red as ketchup. He liked to pick on younger kids when they were alone. He wasn’t ud to facing a whole crowd shouting at him.
The noi had reached a teacher who was heading that way.

Danny watched him go. It was incredible. He had stood up to Wicks and survived. The potion really worked. It changed him into a different person, someone who could do or sa2021四级成绩什么时候出
y anything.
People were staring at him in a new way. One of them was Laura.
‘Thanks for starting that,’ he said to her.’
Laura smiled. ‘Serves him right for pushing me. Is your arm okay?’
Danny had forgotten his arm. ‘Yeah,’ he said, bravely. ‘It just stings a bit.’

‘I was sick of him. I had to do something.’
At this point the bell went. ‘Well, e you later,’ said Laura. ‘Are you going to the audition this afternoon?’
‘Yes…yes, I am,’ said Danny hastily. ‘In fact I’m going to try for the part of Bugsy.’
dw是什么意思He walked away felling two feeling two metres tall. He had spoken to Laura Mills. After a
whole year, he’d finally spoken to her. And she hadn’t laughed at him, she’d talked back. Then he remembered – he’d said he was going to the audition.
lolipopEven wor, he’d said he was going for the main part. The part of Bugsy. How could his moth have landed him in so much trouble?
The big scene
Danny sat on one of the chairs in the hall, waiting for his turn to audition. A lot of people had come to watch. They filled four rows of chairs. Laura Mills sat with her friends, Yasmin. Mark Shaw was there with his usual gang.
Danny sat on his own. Sparrow hadn’t come. He said he couldn’t bear to e Danny make an idiot of himlf.
Danny was next but one to read. He fingered the potion nervously. The bottle felt hot and sticky. As long as he could drink it just before reading, everything would be okay.
The last person before Danny was Wicks. He thought he was just the person to play a gangster. Mrs Morgan gave him a page of Bugsy to read. But Wicks was the world’s worst actor.
He read the lines as if it was the weather report. There were a few sniggers from the back rows. Wicks looked up furiously.
‘That’ll do Duncan, thank you,’ said Mrs Morgan. ‘Daniel Doolan, you’re next.’
Danny took a deep breath and stood up. He heard Mark Shaw whisper to his friends, ‘Doolan? This should be really funny.’
Danny unscrewed the lid of the potion and got up to walk to the front. As he got to the end of the row, he lifted the bottle to take a drink. But Wicks, on his way back to his at, barged into him on purpo.
‘Oh, sorry, Specs, didn’t e you there!’
The bottle spun out of Danny’s hand and smashed in pieces on the floor.
