Chapter 5 Telling the Truth
Outside, Del sat alone and watched the kickball game.I was so nervous that I could hardly talk.
"Hey," I said as I walked up to him.
"What do you want, Germy?'' Del snapped without taking his eyes off the game.I almost retreated, but something in his voice sounded more hurt than angry.
"I want to apologize," I said simply.Del refused to look at me, but he was paying attention.''When I saw you in Principal Cosgrove's office yesterday,I told people that she sent you home for beating that kindergartner up."
"Beating up a little kid?" Del said, disgusted."That was my mom and my little brother."I didn't even know Del had a little brother, and now I felt even worse.
"Oh," I said, "I just want to apologize for saying something so mean."
"My dad got hurt," Del said, finally looking at me as if he was challenging me."He was deployed overseas in the Army.Mom was telling us that they're going to send him home."
