CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

“Give that to me,” Paul yelled, reaching for the ring.

But Brody had a firm grip on it. He held it above his head, out of Paul’s reach. “Easy there, Spaz, I’m not going to ruin your precious jewelry. I just want to take a look at it.”

“It’s mine,” Paul said, blinking hard to fight back tears. Crying would be the worst thing in the world. Knowing what a blabbermouth Brody was, he’d tell everyone at school and Paul would never hear the end of it.

Brody stood up and put the ring on his thumb. “I like it.” He pushed Paul away. “Good job digging it up for me, little guy. Nice of you.”

“No,” Paul said. “Give it back. It belongs to me. My mom will be so mad if I don’t bring it home.”

Brody shrugged. “So you’re going to tell on me?” He curled his hand into a fist and gestured to Alex. “Why are you hanging out with this loser, Al?”

Alex looked uncomfortable. “Give him back his ring, Brody. You’re going to get in trouble.”

“Says who?” Brody took the ring off and waved it in front of Paul’s face. “Take a good look, you big baby, this is the last you’ll see of your ring. Or should I say, my ring.”

Paul had tears in his eyes now, but he didn’t wipe them away. Instead, he threw himself at Brody’s outstretched arm, knocking Brody off balance. The ring flew up in the air, Brody fell backwards onto his butt, and Paul, catching hold of the ring, found himself catapulting off the platform and plummeting down to the earth. He saw the ground coming up at him, and just one millimeter from hitting the ground, a stray thought hit his brain. I wish I could fly.
