As he came into the kitchen, he overheard his mother on the telephone saying to his grandmother, “You never know what to expect at this age. Sometimes they show such bursts of maturity.” Maturity? When all he wanted to do was rake leaves? “There’s nothing to eat in the refrig,” Andy complained. He shut the door so hard two magnets and a note about a parent-teacher conference flopped to the floor. “How come there’s never anything good to eat around here?” He bent over and wiped his dripping forehead with the edge of his sweat-stained shirt. “Take a shower before dinner,” his mother called. “I was going to, Mom. You didn’t have to tell me.” As Andy clomped out of the room, he heard his mother sigh and ask, “Does anyone understand boys at this age?” At the moment Andy didn’t care if anyone understood him or not. All he could think about was that something odd was going on with his best friend. Had J.J. written the warning letter? And if he had, why? J.J. had talked about a joke.
