“Maybe so,” said Fred. “But you know what they say: ‘He who lies down with dogs gets up with fleas.’”

“Well, there are no fleas on me,” Brother said.

He took Fred by the arm and pulled him into the woods.

“What are those pants hanging in the trees?” asked Fred.

Brother did not tell Fred about the pants. Fred was scared enough as it was.

Fred not only made the team, he ran circles around Skuzz, Vinnie, and Smirk. They didn’t like it. But Too-Tall did. With Brother as his star point guard and Fred coming off the bench, maybe they could beat the Westside Thugs.

“Okay, you two,” Too-Tall said. “The game’s tomorrow. Be here!”

Fred was quiet as they walked back along Junkyard Road.

“You really looked good back there,” said Brother.

“Thanks,” said Fred.

But he was still worried.

“Will you please stop worrying? Look at it this way,” said Brother. “Playing with Too-Tall could really improve our game. We might even make the school team next year.”

“Or you could look at it this way,” said Fred. “If we don’t win, they could steal our pants and send us home in our underwear.”
