Sister didn't have to make a special valentine for Billy Grizzwold. She found the perfect one for him at the card store.
It showed a scary-looking Frankenbear-type monster with a bolt on each side of his neck. It said:
Monsters come in
every shape and size.
But when it comes to creepy,
you take the prize!
She'd sign it, "Guess Who." She couldn't wait to see Billy's face when he opened it at the class Valentine's Day party.
But Sister forgot to watch when Billy opened her valentine because among the valentines she received was one that took her breath away. It was all hearts and flowers and inside it said, “Will you be my special friend?”
“Wow!” said Lizzy Bruin. “It must have cost a whole dollar!”
“It’s signed, ‘Guess who,’” said Sister. “Who do you suppose it’s from?”
“Well, I know who you hope it’s from,” said Lizzy.
“If somebody sent me a beautiful valentine that cost a whole dollar, I’d sure want to know who it was from. There’s Herbie over by the punch bowl. Go ask him.”
Sister started for the punch bowl, but Billy Grizzwold blocked her way. He had the valentine Sister had sent him.
“I’ll be glad to get you some punch,” said Billy.
“And throw it down my back?” said Sister.
“No, nothing like that,” said Billy. “I’m sorry about all the stuff I did. And I really don’t blame you for sending me this. It’s really pretty funny. How’d you like that valentine I sent you?”
“You sent me?” said Sister. “You sent me this valentine?”
“Yep,” said Billy. “I saved up for weeks to get it.”
Sister was confused. She didn’t know what to say, so she just said, “Thanks.
