Summary
Malarkey finds out that the whole school is being run by Freddie Cloth and his gang, named Tailors. They wear black Adidas trainers with painted stripes. They sell decimal codes for books, where the pornography is hidden, they run a betting system, where they bet on school matches and they have controlled the outcome of the match by blackmailing the goalie of their own team by stealing his phone. They find Malarkey as the trouble maker so they want to get rid of him. They steal his bag and when they leave it in the classroom for Malarkey to find it there is also a teacher`s wallet in it, which the Tailors stole. Malarkey wants to prove that he did not steal anything but the teacher does not believe him. He is trying to think of something that will help him prove his innocence by disclosing the Tailors.
There is also a girl named Becky whom Malarkey finds really attractive. She was friendly but after Malarkey finds out she is Freddie`s girlfriend, he is not sure if he can trust her or not.
At the end, there is a school match where Malarkey wants to prove his innocence. He is waiting for the right moment to show the teacher the school work the Tailors have been selling. The gang finds out about his plan and Freddie starts to punch him, but it was too late because Malarkey has already thrown the school work in the air so everybody can see it. The teachers can`t believe what has been happening behind their backs.
