Dregs

By Barri L. Bumgarner

What's it like to be at the bottom? To see popularity from the outside and know something isn't right? "You don't have to be a Dreg, Benson," his teacher told him. "It's all a state of mind." Yeah, right Benson Schmidt ain't buyin' it, because Colin, his older brother, is a god. A superstar in the halls, on the court, in life, Colin has it all. But Benson, a lowly seventh grader and a dreg in the social structure, launches Operation Cappuccino to try to show that the cream can't rise to the top without a bottom. Instead, he discovers that even the haves aren't satisfied with status quo. Some are even willing to kill to avoid becoming a have-not. Better to die than become a dreg.
