I.D.
“Chapter One I shouldn’t have stopped. I was late already. But if you see a wallet on the sidewalk, what do you do? You stop.
I picked it up. I looked around. I could only see one person, an old guy, walking his dog.
Mr. Oxner was going to kill me. I’d already been suspended a couple of times for not showing up, flunking out, mouthing off, whatever. He’d gone crazy at me the day before. He said this was my last chance. If I so much as chewed gum in class—that’s what he said—I was out for good. E...xpelled.
Like I cared.
I wanted to say, “Shove it.” I didn’t need anyone—especially Oxner—telling me what I could or could not do.
But I needed a place to stay. I needed to eat. If I got expelled, my stepfather would totally lose it. He’d make me go back to working checkout at the grocery store for six bucks an hour. He’d probably try to kick me out of the house. He’d for sure make my life hell. (Like it wasn’t already.) I could just hear him going on and on about how I’d screwed up again.MoreLess
