nudged

.
I
had

to
do
.

retrieved
the
yard
-
duty
teacher
,
and
she
corralled
and
ceremoniously
walked
us
to
the
principal
?

.
Devastated
,
I
hung
my
head
.

Theresa
leaned
toward
me
and
whispered
,
,
"
I
guess

suspected

the
Bad
Kids
?
Bench
.
Kindergartners
and
first
graders
had
to
file
by
to
get
to
their
classrooms
,
and
they
always
gave
us
a
wide
berth
,
the
orderly
line
snaking
away
from
us
,
then
back
in
formation
,
as
if
our
badness
might
be
contagious
.

The
yard
-
duty
teacher
could
keep
an
eye
on
us
,
too
,
in
case
we
decided
to
jump
up
and
sneak
in
a
game
of
hopscotch
.
Indignant
,
I
refused
to
talk
to
Theresa
,
who
didn
?
t
seem
to
have
any
about
being
chatty
.

Before
I
could
,
and
with
sincere
awe
,
I
said
,
"
You
?
re
lucky
.
"
I
was
suddenly
jealous
of
Theresa
,
but
I
didn
?
t
want
her
to
know
how
much
.
I
reverted
to
giving
her
the
silent
treatment
.
19
remorseful
position
reverence
love
The
week
was
over
soon
enough
.
The
principal
never
called
my
parents
.
The
other
kids
didn
?
t
seem
to
care
that
I
had
been
disciplined
on
the
Bad
Kids
?
Bench
.
In
fact
,
I
actually
detected
a
from
some
of
my
classmates
.
From
then
on
,
Theresa
left
me
alone
,
and
Mary
Lou
was
my
acknowledged
ally
.
20
avid
lazy
positive
weak
Mary
Lou
must
have
felt
the
same
,
because
she
moved
closer
to
me
.
We
huddled
together
behind
the
listeners
with
our
pillows
almost
covering
our
faces
.
There
was
no
way
not
to
listen
.
21
fantastic
humiliating
super
memorable
Already
anxious
,
I
couldn
?
t
imagine
how
I
would
get
through
the
night
.
I
suddenly
wanted
to
be
in
my
own
house
,
in
my
own
bed
,
with
my
parents
down
the
hall
and
my
trusty
bedside
lamp
.
There
didn
?
t
seem
to
be
any
way
out
of
the
situation
that
wasn
?
t
.
At
least
Mary
Lou
was
by
my
side
.
22
saddened
indebted
owed
excited
Mary
Lou
was
,
and
still
is
,
my
hero
.
If
a
person
believes
in
the
domino
effect
,
the
premise
that
one
action
triggers
another
,
then
I
am
deeply
to
her
.
If
she
had
never
made
me
stand
up
to
Theresa
,
I
would
have
existed
on
the
outskirts
of
our
fifth
-
grade
society
,
always
defenseless
.
