It started off when Laurie was going to the football game to tell Amy something. She got to the stands and Brad made her stop. He said that she could not go up there unless she did The Wave salute. She fought against Brad but he said that most people in the stands had to say The Wave salute. The next day Laurie was printing the new paper about the Wave. Than Laurie went to go and talk to Amy again. Laurie told her about a guy that had gotten beet up because he didn’t want to join the wave. She didn’t care at all, because she knew that the wave was the right place to be. The Grapevine was a very big hit for this week. There were also rumours going around that teachers and parents had been to the principal’s office and been complaining. David and Brain had this plan that they were going to talk to Laurie and tell her to stop making those stories in the news papers. Ben and his wife were at home and Christy told that he has gone way too far and that he needs to stop the wave group soon. Ben finally understood and was planning a way to stop the wave without hurting the kids. Laurie was in the office cleaning it up. When she was done she went to her locker and when she was standing there she heard someone walking down the hall way so she quickly ran out of the school. When she got to the tennis court she saw David and he came over to talk to her. He was telling her to stop writeing the stories in the new paper and through her down on the ground. After a while Laurie told him what she thought and he saw her point. So David and Laurie went to Ben’s house and told him that you need to put a stop. The next day at school sounded Mr. Ross was making to group even better. So David and Laurie spoke up and got sent to the office. Mr. Ross got all the Wave members together and told them that the Wave group is over and also showed the video that he showed the class at the starting of it. Mr. Ross was sad that the group was over and so were all the kids that were in it.
I don’t understand why David would even want to try and hurt her because she is just trying to get everyone to stop being in the wave so it doesn’t go WAY out of hand. At one part of the chapters there was a plan that David and Brain were going to tell her to stop having stories on The Wave and David the one that had to talk to her but he didn’t know if it was a good idea to do it or not. But when David was talking to Laurie by the tennis court he go so mad that he through her down on the ground and he felt bad after when she was picking up her books so he asked her if she was ok. Laurie also thought that David was going to get back with her because he wanted to talk but she did not want to get back with him at all.
I like the parts were Mr. Ross finally understands a little bit that the wave group is going a little bit out of hand and it has gone way too far. Then he decides to stop it and also promises Laurie and David that everything is going to be ok and by tomorrow the Wave will be like it has never started in the first place. When he gets to school the next day and the way he made it sound to the class was not the way Laurie and David planed it to be like they thought that he was that he was trying to make the wave group keep on going and make it better than what it was. Than Laurie and David spoke up and was telling them that the wave has to end than they got sent to the principal office for only trying to help Mr. Ross stop it. I think that at that point Mr. Ross was being too hard on them about that and he should have listened to them all along and it may had been easier for him to end it and easier for the students.
