52 - How I Learned to Fly
“I yanked Wilson aside in gym class the next morning. “We can’t race!” I screamed.
“Aw. Come on. Be a good sport.” Wilson grinned. “You’re just steamed because you know you’re going to lose.”
On the other side of the gym, I could hear Mr. Grossman announcing the race to the class. “A special race,” I heard him say. “Wilson promises we’re all in for a big surprise!”
I ran my hand through my hair.
“Wilson, don’t you see what you’ve done?” My voice grew high. “When everyone finds out that we can fl...y, our lives will be ruined!”
Wilson shrugged, then bent down to tie his sneaker. “I don’t know what you’re so worried about. This is going to be way cool!”
I glanced around the gym. The empty gym. The entire class had emptied outside, waiting for the race to begin.
“Ready, boys?” Mr. Grossman popped his head in the doorway.
“Ready!” Wilson called back.
Wilson tugged me through the halls. The empty halls.
“Come on, Jack. The whole school is out there!”MoreLess
