After I do something embarrassing, I can’t sleep. I lie there in bed, thinking about whatever I did over and over, wishing I could change it. I was lying in bed not sleeping and thinking about throwing that poop bag when I heard our porch boards creak in a way that was not the wind. For a second I lay there frozen, clutching Croc to my chest. Then I drummed up the guts to crawl to the end of my bed and press my face against the cool window glass.

As I watched, a kid-size person hopped from the porch onto the pebbled path that led to the driveway. I could tell from the shape of his big block head that it was Diesel Jessup. He stopped halfway up the path and turned around. For a second, I swear he looked right into my eyes. I felt sick about what I’d done all over again, even though he totally deserved what he’d gotten for stealing my bike. In fact, he was probably out for revenge.

My blood started thrumming, thinking of what he might have done to our house.

When I was sure he’d left, I snuck downstairs and went outside.

My bike was sitting there on the porch, waiting for me.
