I hadn’t told David any details of my punishment other than that I would be working after school every day for a month. I didn’t say anything to my parents. I didn’t think they’d really notice since I’d be home by dinnertime anyway.

I was instantly sorry the next afternoon when I met Jason in the parking lot. Two rows over was David standing with Chuck. I think both my brother and I were wearing the same shocked expression on our faces as I got into Jason’s car and he got into Chuck’s.

Jason saw me staring and shook his head. “You let your brother hang out with that guy?”

“What’s wrong with Chuck?” I asked, trying to sound as if I didn’t really know who he was.

“He is definitely trouble,” Jason answered.

“Look who’s talking,” I argued. “We’re both being sent into hard labor for being just that, trouble.”

“Okay,” Jason said. “I can be a real bastard. But I know the difference between spoiled-brat bad and total evil. That guy is evil. He hates everybody.”

“How do you know?” Standing there looking at Chuck while hearing Jason talk about him, I suddenly found myself thinking about the vandalism, the car, the shooting at the building. I wondered why those incidents felt different from throwing the rocks through Trenton Biggs’s window.

“The guy was kicked out of school for breaking into the building and trashing the cafeteria and office four years ago, when he was a sophomore,” Jason said. “He has several stints in juvenile detention.”

I wasn’t surprised. Jason was right. Chuck hated everybody. Lonn hated everybody. Even me. Even David.
