Chapter 6-We meet Mrs. Avery the music teacher and Mrs. Kettle the strict, sixth grade teacher.  The class was going to gym.  Richard, Timothy and Noah were discussing who Matthew would sleep
near.

Chapter 7-No new characters are introduced in this chapter.  In this chapter the class was giving guesses for the candy corn.  Richard was thinking about how Matthew was spoiling his sleepover.  He drew a picture of Matthew and put an "X" on it.

Chapter 8- We meet Mrs. Paris, a teacher and Jill Simmons a student.  The class is making applesauce, but Richard forgot his apple.  Matthew offered to share his.  But Richard is getting madder and madder about the sleepover and was mean to everyone.  At the end of this chapter, Matthew doesn't eat any applesauce because his feelings have been hurt by Richard. Richard doesn't eat any because he is beginning to feel guilty about how he has treated Matthew.

Chapter 9-We meet another student, Joanne who is Holly's friend.  The school has a fire drill and Richard tried to apologize to Matthew.  He finds out that Matthew can't come to the sleepover because he is going on vacation to Plymouth.

Chapter 10-We meet Arthur a 5th grade student and Mr. Mancina.  Richard sneaks back to class during an assembly to change the number on the candy corn jar but gets caught by Matthew.  they both go back to the auditorium.  The play is about Plymouth and Richard figures out Plymouth is in Massachusetts, not Florida like Matthew had said.  Richard realizes Matthew is not coming to his sleepover because he figured out Richard didn't really want him.

Chapter 11-  The day has come for the contest to end.  Matthew brings Richard three candy corns to sneak back into the jar so he won't get into trouble.  Instead, Richard tells Mrs. Rooney the truth.  Emily Arrow won the contest and shared the candy with the class.  Matthew decides to come to the party and is going to set his alarm so he will get up to go to the bathroom,.  He also tells Richard he is taking more baths.
