One scene that was cut out, although I wish it hadn't been, was the lunchroom fight scene.
Chapter 6, page 29-30
"How over?"
"Weeks." Ali spotted two vacant seats and led the was to them.
Daniel mumbled to no one in particular, "Weeks. What's weeks? One? Two? Fifty-two? One half?"
Ali put her milk on the table and sat down. Daniel pulled out a chair, but when he sat down, there was a sickening squish. Too late, he realized there was something on the chair. When he stood up, he found a mashed piece of blueberry pie all over the seat of his white pants.
"Ooooh-gross!" said a girl at the next table.
Daniel looked for the culprit and he didn't have to look far. At a nearby table, Johnny and his henchmen were congratulating one another. All around, the kids spotted Daniel's pants and began laughing.
Ali was angry.
"You jerk!" she cried to Johnny. Daniel wiped the thick blueberry mess off his pants and held it in his hands as he walked calmly to Johnny.
"Don't even think about it, worm."
Daniel hesitated for a moment. He had, after all, made it to lunch period without a fight.
Calmly, he smeared the gob of blueberry gunk on Johnny's shirt. Mayhem erupted.
