Oops.

And oops again. The boys began to laugh when Clover fell. Bram rushed over. "Clover, sorry!" He said, trying to help his friend up. He glared at the older boys. "Shut up! Leave us be!"

Even though, really, Clover and Bram hadn't let the older boys be.

"Or what? You gonna stab us?" said one of the older boys. Another boy put his hands around his neck, bended his knees a little to imitate a drop, and pretended to suffocate.
