Sally, Peter, and I sat back down at our table and Billy picked up his tray and his book and came over and sat down with us.

Billy said, “Thanks, no one’s ever stood up for me like that before.”

“It’s no big deal. Somebody should have stood up to him a long time ago,” Peter said.

Then Sally blurted out, “Is that really why you moved here? Because you beat up a kid and they kicked you out of school?”

Peter and I started laughing and Billy and Sally just looked at us.

Peter said, “No, but it sounded pretty good, didn’t it? I’m glad Birdie Mae could think of something to say because I sure couldn’t. I’ve never been in a fight and I don’t plan on being in one, but Doyle Baker doesn’t have to know that.”

We all laughed, and I knew from that moment on, the four of us were going to be thick as thieves, whatever that means. I heard Mama say it once about her and her friends from high school, so I guess it means best friends or something like that? Hopefully that’s what it means and it doesn’t mean we’re going to go around stealing stuff.
