Matthew loved to play tricks on his friends at school. "I think I saw your mother in the principal's office," he would often say. The scared look on a friend's face always made Matthew laugh. One day, a new boy named Evan arrived at Matthew's school. The class jokingly warned Evan about Matthew's tricks, but Evan decided to meet him. "I'm glad it is my first day," Evan told Matthew on the way to recess. "I will not have to worry about the pop quiz in social studies." What pop quiz? Matthew wondered. He had not read the textbook. Matthew asked for a library pass and used his entire recess to find information about the Civil War. Thirty minutes later, he was still worried. "Class, I have a surprise for you." His teacher's words made Matthew squirm in his seat. "Evan is going to perform a speech he wrote at his last school about the Civil War." "Whew!" Matthew let out a sigh. He saw Evan flash a smile.
