Phil would have kept thinking about it, but his friend Lee poked him on the shoulder and said, “Hey, Phil, what’d you get on that social studies test?”

So for the rest of the short ride to school Phil and Lee talked about how boring social studies was and how stupid it was to have to learn about Ancient Egypt. Except for the Pyramids. Plus mummies and treasure and junk like that. That part was okay.

But aftergetting off the bus, he walked up the front steps and into the school, then turned left to go to his locker. And as he passed the big windows of the office he glanced to his right. And he saw something that made everything come crashing back into his head—the jacket, hanging there on the coatrack outside Mrs. Cormier’s office. Jimmy’s jacket. Then he thought,No, it’s Daniel’s jacket.
