sneak
in
a
game
of

know
how
much
.
I
reverted
to
giving

treatment
.
19
love

remorseful
position
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
,

Lou
was
my
acknowledged
ally
.

must

huddled

behind
the
listeners
with

pillows
almost
covering

21
fantastic
memorable
humiliating
super
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

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
.
