Geeger giggles, then says, âDo NOT worr-eee, Mis-TER mon-STER. I am a NICE bird-eee.â
âOh,â Tillie makes her monster say. âGood!â
Geeger flies his hummingbird right up to where the monsterâs ear would be, if Tillie had given the creature ears. He wiggles it from side and side and says, âARE yooou EX-cit-ed for theee FOOT-race? I REAL-leee hope Gee-ger WINS.â
Tillieâs monster puppet sinks down to her side. And in the blink of an eye, her silly mood is gone. All of a sudden her face looks serious. Even worried.
âGeegerâ¦,â she says. âRemember that stuff Coach Keller said? The three most important things aboutââ
PWEEEEEEEEET!
âKICKBALL!â Coach Keller yells from the other side of the field. âWHO WANTS TO PLAY KICKBALL?!â
Tillieâs eyes pop open. Her whole face lights up. Itâs clear she has totally forgotten she was just in the middle of a sentence.
âGeeger,â she says. âLetâs go! Itâs already the best part of the day!â
She takes off, quickly joining a group of other kids who want in on the kickball game too.
But Geeger stays behind and watches Tillie disappear into the crowd. Itâs not because he doesnât want to play kickball. He does, especially because he knows itâs Tillieâs favorite part of the whole day. But Geeger canât play kickball. Not now. Heâll tire himself out. Heâll waste all his energy and have none left for the footrace. If he plays kickball now, thereâs no way heâll win the race.
Geeger turns himself around so heâs not tempted to join the kickball game anyway. And as heâs spinning, a distant sparkle grabs his attention. His eyes slide back toward itâand then focus on a faraway table. Itâs the only one that he and Tillie havenât visited yet. And Geeger has a guess about what must be on that table, shining the sunlight.
Geeger starts toward the table, and before he even reaches it, he knows heâs right. He can see them lying there, glinting and gleaming.
The medals.
