the ball, Mike!" shouts Nick.
– "Here!" says Mike and kicks the ball hard.
CRASH! The ball hits the window of the classroom. The glass breaks.

– "What do we do?" asks Mike.
Mrs. Brown comes out. She looks angry.
– "Who broke the window?" she asks.
Nick and Mike look at each other.
– "We did it, Mrs. Brown," says Nick. "We’re sorry."

Chapter 6: The Spelling Test
Today, Nick has a spelling test. He is nervous.
– "Mike, I don’t know all the words," says Nick.
– "Don’t worry! I’ll help you," says Mike.
Before the test, Mike and Nick practice:
– "How do you spell 'happy'?" asks Mike.
– "H-A-P-P-Y," says Nick.
– "Good! And 'school'?"
– "S-C-H-O-O-L," says Nick.
The test starts. Mrs. Brown says:
– "First word: 'apple'."
Nick writes A-P-P-L-E. He knows this one!
But then comes a hard word: "elephant". Nick is not sure. He looks at Mike, but Mike shakes his head.
– "No cheating, Nick!" whispers Mike.
Nick tries his best: E-L-E-F-A-N-T.
After the test, Mrs. Brown checks the answers.
– "Nick, 'elephant' is E-L-E-P-H-A-N-T. But you did well!"
Nick is happy. He got eight out of ten!

Chapter 8: The Secret Clubhouse
One rainy afternoon, Nick and Mike were bored at Nick's house.
– "Let's build a secret clubhouse!" Mike suddenly said, jumping up from the floor where they'd been drawing.
– "Where?" Nick asked, his eyes lighting up.
– "In your garden! Behind the big bushes!"
The boys ran outside with an old blanket, some wooden planks Nick's dad had in the garage, and a cardboard box. It took them all afternoon to build their secret hideout.
– "This will be our headquarters!" Mike said proudly, hanging a hand-drawn sign that said "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" on the entrance.
The next day at school, they told Tom and Ben about their clubhouse.
– "Can we join your club?" Tom asked.
– "Only if you pass the test!" Mike said seriously.
The "test" turned out to be eating a spoonful of Nick's mom's super spicy chili sauce. When Tom turned red and drank three glasses of water, everyone laughed and let him in the club.
That weekend, the boys met in their clubhouse every day. They made a secret handshake, planned adventures, and even started a treasure map. But on Monday, Emma found their hideout.
– "I'm telling Mrs. Brown you have a 'no girls' sign!" she said angrily.
– "Wait!" Nick said quickly. "You can join… if you bring cookies tomorrow!"
Emma thought about it, then smiled.
– "Deal. But the sign comes down."
