Chapter 14
I’m breathless from pumping my bike pedals and thinking about how strange life can be. As if being an albino kid bouncing around the country like a pinball from place to place and school to school weren’t challenging enough, things have become even more absurd. The prettiest and most popular girl in school has asked me to spy on her boyfriend who may be cheating on her, and she may have a big secret problem with her mother. Because I’m curious, I keep wondering what kind of problem? Serious? Abusive father? Physical violence? I can make myself crazy, thinking so much.
On top of this, I’ve lied to Judy, who deserves better. Why do I feel so guilty about this stuff? I hate that, too.
And my own parents are acting weird. Why is my mother so sad? What does my dad need to tell me?
