“That’s not true,” Bobby Solofsky countered. “Big Curtis talks all the time.” Bobby imitated our bus driver’s booming voice: “Sit down back there! Hurry up! Quiet down, you’re giving me a headache!”

A few kids laughed. Bobby did sound like Big Curtis.

Mila turned around in her seat. “I think he’s sweet,” she said.

“Sweet?” Solofsky scoffed. “Maple syrup is sweet. Big Curtis is mean.”

“No,” Mila said. “He’s … he’s…” Mila searched for exactly the right word. “He’s an individual. Besides, he’s shy. That’s why he doesn’t seem friendly. Deep down, I think Big Curtis is a big cream puff. It’s his job to keep us safe. He has to be bossy sometimes.”

“Whatever,” Solofsky said. He buried his face in a comic book.

I didn’t have a clue.
