Suddenly, everybody was chasing me, yelling and screaming.
“Belew!! What’d you do that for?”
“Belew!! What’s wrong with you?!”
I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I didn’t know what it was I had done, if that’s what the other kids meant when they asked what was wrong. What I did was what any boy who was being outrun and taunted by a girl would do: chase her and try to beat her. That’s what boys do – try not to lose to girls. Boys also
like to discover things. And I had found something out about JJ. Only this time, it was purely by accident.
