Complete story — includes the ending

Eddie's friends have all taken up lame, uncool activities at school, including Trent, who is a school safety officer. When Trent writes up Eddie for wearing open-toed shoes, he lands in detention and soon links up with the hackey-sack clique. Eddie helps the guys retrieve their confiscated hackey-sacks from the principal's office, but gets in way more trouble than he bargained for when one of them steals money from the principal's petty cash drawer. Elsewhere, Jessica labors over submitting a cover photo for her new book, not liking any of the ones Honey took, and soon realizes her apprehension is fear of possible rejection of the book itself by the reading public.
