I felt guilty and reluctant, but for Mason, the tripping, hair pulling, and name-calling was getting boring. And one day at the lost and found near the school office, when Mason retrieved the jacket he’d left on the playground the previous day, he found one of the girls’ sports skirts as well. It had AMBER HODGES printed clearly on the inside name tag, but Mason wasn’t about to let Amber know right away that he had it. “Wait till he’s over near the bathroom,” Mason said to us during the first half of lunch. We had our sandwiches and drinks balanced in our laps, and Mason had the sports skirt neatly folded and hidden. “He’ll have to go sooner or later. Then surround him and kind of walk him inside so that the teacher on playground duty doesn’t notice.” Lucas interrupted. “It’s Miss Perez today. She’s always got tons of little kids following her around. She won’t notice right away.” “If a couple of us grab him,” Mason continued, “and hold him still where the sinks are, we can get the skirt on him.
