Schooled Ch. 8 & 9

Cap really missed Rain because she

• never allowed anyone or anything to upset him.

• was always there to explain things when he got confused.

• was his one and only trusted friend.

Once when she and Cap had come upon an employee strike outside a hardware store, Rain had allowed Cap to

• interview the strikers and write an article about their demands.

• cross the picket line and buy the duct tape they had come for.

• let the air out of the tires on the boss's car.

After he read about bullfighting in an encyclopedia, Cap

• told Zach Powers that he objected to it on moral grounds and would no longer ask Mr. Kasigi about it.

• asked Mrs. Donnelly to explain why the sport was so popular.

• couldn't decide how he felt about it since Rain wasn't there to explain it to him.

Cap was beginning to see that growing up knowing only one other person

• was a lot more pleasant than being surrounded by strangers.

• had some serious disadvantages.

• had given him an adult outlook on life.

Cap found himself looking forward to

• the letters that the girl was leaving in his locker.

• planning the Halloween dance as the eighth grade president.

• the regular lunch meetings with Hugh Winkleman.

Which of the following was NOT something that confused Cap?

• the little white paper balls that he found in his hair.

• how the stuff got into his locker when only he could open it.

• why Hugh Winkleman would want a girl to like him.

Cap had to ride home barefoot on the school bus because

• someone stole his sandals while he was meditating in front of his locker.

• his sandals got stuck in the mess on the floor.

• Mr. Kasigi had asked him to stop wearing them.

Cap thought of the school bus as

• a sanctuary away from the chaos of C Average Middle School.

• an insane asylum on wheels.

• his best starting place for learning everyone's names.

When he arrived home after his barefoot ride on the school bus, Cap's feet were

• bruised and sore from being stepped on.

• a little dirtier than usual.

• bruised, bleeding, and covered with objects from the school bus floor.

Lately, Sophie's expression was so unpleasant every time he looked at her, Cap wanted to

• tell her how beautiful she was.

• do something nice for her to make her feel better.

• help her find a dependable friend like Rain.
