Jacinta definitely lived up to her promise.
Kat had made lists: seemingly the one thing she was good at was organizing and keeping things in proper order. But nobody cared about her organizing talents.
NAMES KAT HAD BEEN CALLED:
- Katty the Fatty
- Slug
-Pigface
- Size Extra Extra Extra Too Large
- Fashion Model from Hell
- Gorilla Ass
- The Donut with No Hole
THINGS THAT HAD BEEN THROWN AT KAT:
- A burrito
- A whole roll of toilet paper
- A hard-boiled egg
- A jumbo slice of cake (the boy, Derrick, who'd thrown the cake has also yelled "there's still not enough to fill the Pig's mouth!")
- A tampon
- Fake eyelashes
- A high heeled shoe
- A bottle of foot spray
INSULTS THAT HAD BEEN AIMED AT KAT:
- "NO FAT CHICKS! That's the law. Sorry, Sluggie."
- "You're fat. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't deep fry it. You'd probably eat that, too."
- "Oh, my joke about fat people offended you? Which one of your chins did I hurt?"
- "You should cry, Katty. Cry like a little kid, to match your excessive baby fat. CRY, BABY, CRY! Hah!"
- "Sorry, Donut. You can't be on our team, there'd be no room on the basketball court for the good players."
Kat did her best to ignore the rude, immature, uncreative insults, because she knew that's what the guidance counselor, Mrs. Vargas, would tell her. That's what the principal, Dr. Hilliard, would tell her. That's what Mother would tell her.
But ignoring it wasn't working. And apparently, neither had fighting back.
She just hoped the Slim 21 pills would do their magic fast enough.
