At lunch, he ate fish and salad without fussing. But he nearly choked on the garbanzo beans. He excused himself every few minutes to see if Eric was home yet.

His mom went to the kitchen for more herbal tea.

His dad reached for the TV remote and turned on the Weather Channel.

Quickly, Jason offered his last garbanzo bean to Muffie. The puppy chomped it right down.

Yahoo!

Jason didn’t bother to excuse himself from the table. He hurried off to his room.

There, he rooted through his junk drawer. Gotta have some strawberry bubble gum, he thought.

Just then, he heard someone drive up at Eric’s.

“Yes!” He grabbed his money and slammed the drawer. The bubble gum would just have to wait again.

Eric’s grandpa was pulling into the garage when Jason arrived. Jason waited for Eric and his grandpa to get out of the car.

“I’ve got the money,” Jason shouted, waving it in Eric’s face. “Even the extra five bucks!”

Eric seemed to smirk. “Too late,” he said.

Jason stared at Eric in the dimly lit garage. He was too stunned to speak.

Eric dug his hand into his pocket. He waved a bunch of dollar bills. “Sorry, someone beat you to it,” he said.

“No way!” Jason shouted. “That’s not fair!”

“A deal’s a deal,” Eric said. Then he turned and trudged into the house.

Jason wanted to holler and carry on.

But it was no use.
