Roger and T. J. looked at me in surprise.

“It’s not that I don’t want to race you or anything,” I said quickly. “But it might storm later.”

We all looked up at the sky. There were a few clouds, but the sky was blue and the sun was shining.

“You’re just scared,” said Bryce.

“Am not,” I said.

“Are so,” Trippy added.

“If you’re not, then like I said, let’s race right now. Trippy and me against you and Roger and T. J.”

T. J. and Roger looked at me again. Racing against Bryce and Trippy was a bad idea for so many reasons. First, there was the weather. Then there was the fact that the marine safety course made it very clear that none of us was supposed to race one another without supervision, ever. On top of that, I was the OOD, the officer of the deck, as the Captain would say, and the safety of my men—in this case, Rog and Teej—was my responsibility.

“Hah! I knew you were too scared.”

“No, we’re not,” I said.

“You should be,” said Bryce. “You’re going to get smoked.”

The tips of my ears started getting hot and all thoughts of marine safety flew out of my head. I was sick and tired of Bryce acting like such a big shot, as if he was better than we were, and thinking he could push us around. It made me so mad, my whole face was burning. Maybe if we beat him, he would finally leave us alone.

“You’re the ones who are going to get smoked,” I said. “We’ll race you right now.”

Roger raised his eyebrows and T. J. stopped chewing on one of the carrots his mom was making him eat after she discovered his stash of junk food.

“Deal,” said Bryce.

Trippy, a sneaky grin on his face, whispered something to Bryce. The two of them high-fived.

“First one to Get Lost wins.”

T. J.’s eyes widened. Roger and I exchanged uneasy glances. “Get Lost Island?”

“That’s right, Get Lost Island. If you’re not too chicken, and you don’t get lost!”
