About this ebook
Hey! Where Is Everyone?
That's what Bernie Bridges wants to know when he can't find any of his friends. Everyone has disappeared! And when he finally does find them, they're acting really weird. For instance, his shy friend Chipmunk thinks he is a fearless warrior, and football star Jennifer Ecch thinks she is a princess. What is going on?
Soon Bernie realizes that everyone at Rotten School is acting! They are all playing parts in a big battle. A battle between the Dum Diddys and the Knighty Knight Knights. But it's not a real fight. It's a video game called Wungo Warriors—and everyone has to pay that spoiled rich kid Sherman Oaks to play.
Bernie can't let Sherman get away with this. He has a plan to outsmart Sherman—by bringing the Wungo Warriors to life!
What Bernie doesn't know, though, is that a real-life battle between the Dum Diddys and the Knighty Knight Knights could shut down Rotten School forever.

Rotten School #12 - R.L. Stine
Chapter 1
HERE COMES TROUBLE
Was I in major trouble?
Does a moose have diarrhea in the woods?
There I was, Bernie Bridges, fourth-grade superstar. Hey, I’m not bragging. Ask anyone.
There I was, sitting with my shoulders hunched and my head down, in Headmaster Upchuck’s office. And I knew the Headmaster didn’t call me in to tell me a funny joke he heard.
And he didn’t call me in to compliment me on the cool triple knot I tied in my blue, green, and puke-yellow Rotten School uniform necktie. (And by the way, no way I can untie it. I’m going to need help later—and maybe scissors—to get out of the thing!)
No, dudes and dudettes. When The Upchuck calls you to his office, it means you’re in bi-i-i-i-i-g trouble.
Here at Rotten School, we call him The Big Man. That’s because he’s only about three feet tall. He’s so short, he has to stand on a ladder to blow his nose!
Ha-ha. Don’t you love jokes like that?
Well, this was no joke. I sat in front of his little toy desk. I think it came from a Barbie playhouse. It was the only desk he could find that was the right size! He was talking on the phone. Every once in a while he’d look up at me and scowl.
I thought hard. What did I do wrong?
I could only think of twenty or thirty things.
Finally he set down the phone. He rubbed his ear. His bald head glowed under the light from his computer screen. He turned to me.
Bernie…
he said.
I didn’t like the way he said it. I shuddered.
Here comes trouble….
Chapter 2
I’LL BITE YOUR THROAT!
Bernie…
he said again.
I still didn’t like the way he said it.
You’re looking great, sir,
I said. Are you growing taller? You look very tall today. Oh. You’re sitting on a phone book, aren’t you? Very clever, sir.
Bernie—
he said.
Mr. Upchuck, I can explain about that Go Fish game,
I said. We weren’t really playing for money. I know there was a lot of money there. But we were just using it to steady the table. You see, the card table was very wobbly. And we used the money to—
Bernie—
he interrupted. His face turned as red as a ruby grapefruit. He actually looks a lot like a grapefruit. With eyes.
"Sir, I swear I didn’t cheat on the eye exam, I said.
Someone gave me the sheet of paper with the letters on it. But I never read it. Really. I—"
He sighed. Bernie—
he said.
"You are looking awesome today, I said.
Is that a shadow on your forehead? No. I think you’re starting to grow eyebrows!"
Bernie,
he said through gritted teeth. Shut your piehole.
Yes, sir,
I said, giving him a sharp, two-fingered salute. "Anything you say, sir. That’s the Bernie Bridges motto. Anything the Headmaster says is gold. Gold!"
The Headmaster let out a sharp growl. Say one more word, Bernie, and I’ll bite your throat.
I laughed. Funny, sir,
I said. "I love your sense of humor. We all do. It’s what makes you so special to us. You inspire us, sir. You really do. We think a new library should be built in your honor, sir. The Upchuck Library. It has a nice ring to it—doesn’t it?"
Grrrrrrrrr!
I’d never heard a sound like that from the Headmaster before.
