    About this ebook

    The most popular dude in school?

    It has to be Bernie Bridges. Just ask him!

    Bernie wants to win the Most Popular Rotten Student of the Year title. But first he has to prove he's the most popular dude on campus. How? Easy. He'll get Jennifer Ecch, the yearbook photographer, to follow him around. All she has to do is snap pictures of him being popular.

    When that doesn't work, Bernie decides to throw himself the biggest birthday party ever.

    But, look out, Bernie . . . .

    Some birthday parties turn out to be surprise parties!

      Rotten School #13 - R.L. Stine

      Chapter 1

      HOW TO BE POPULAR

      The most popular kid at Rotten School? Well, that’s me, of course. Bernie Bridges. I suppose I’m probably the most popular fourth grader in history.

      But don’t ask me. Ask my hundreds of friends.

      I’m a modest guy. I would never brag about how popular I am. Bragging is totally uncool.

      How could I be the greatest dude who ever walked across campus if I bragged all the time?

      So I’m not bragging. You can ask my twenty best friends.

      They’d do anything for me. Anything.

      It’s easy to be surrounded by friends all the time. Really. You can do it, too. Here are my three rules for being popular:

      Be generous

      Be kind

      Don’t bite

      I always try to follow all three rules.

      That’s why it was such a total shock to me when I had to prove how popular I am.

      Whoa. Bernie Bridges in a popularity contest?

      Could I lose? I don’t think so.

      I decided to prove it by throwing the biggest birthday party in the history of the known universe. But believe me, dudes and dudettes—it wasn’t a piece of cake.

      It all started on a sunny afternoon after classes. My friends and I were out on the Great Lawn, stomping on each other’s shoes as hard as we could….

      Chapter 2

      NO PAIN, NO GAIN

      STOMP.

      Ohhhhh! It hurts! It HURTS!

      Maybe The Stomp hasn’t come to your school yet. It will. It’s the most popular sport at Rotten School now. Even more popular than opening your mouth wide at lunch and showing off your chewed-up glob of spinach.

      You can see kids stomping on each other all over campus. And you can hear their cries of pain and watch them hopping up and down on one foot until the pain fades away.

      Give me a break!

      Stop! You broke all my toes!

      The Stomp started whenever some dude would show up wearing new shoes or new sneakers. As soon as we saw the shiny, clean shoes, we’d all hurry to stomp on them and scuff them and smash them and make them look old.

      It’s just the natural thing to do when you see new shoes. It probably started with the cavemen.

      We begged our parents not to send us new shoes. We all knew how painful new shoes would be.

      And then some guys got the idea to stomp on shoes that weren’t new! That’s how the sport was born. Some kid walks by. You stop him. You stomp your heel down on his shoe. Then you take out a stopwatch and see how long he can hop on one foot.

      It hurts! It HURTS!"

      Hop hop hop hop.

      Good work, Feenman! I called to my friend. You beat your old record. You hopped for twenty-three seconds.

      I raised my stopwatch. "Try again, dude. If we can get it up to twenty-eight seconds, you can beat Joe Sweety’s school record."

      "But I don’t want to beat the school record!" Feenman moaned. His face was bright red, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He stood on one leg and rubbed his sore foot.

      Don’t be selfish, I said. You know I bet Sweety twenty dollars we could beat his record.

      I signaled to Crench, my other
