CHAPTER 7

A BAD NIGHT

At dinner that night, Max kept his elbows on the table and leaned on one fist. He pushed his rice around the plate and didn’t touch his chicken. Across the table, Deedee poked holes in her peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

“I don’t see why she gets that and I have to eat this,” Max muttered.

“Because I don’t eat chicken,” Deedee said.

“Yeah, because you’re a baby,” Max said.

“Mom!” Deedee shrieked.

“That’s enough,” Dad said. “Both of you, knock it off. Eat your dinner.”

Max shoved his plate away. “She’s being disgusting,” he said, pointing at Deedee’s smooshed sandwich. “Tell her to stop being such a disgusting baby.”

“That’s it,” his mom said. “You’re done. Go to your room.”

“Fine,” Max said. His chair fell backward as he stood up. He hurried upstairs without picking it up.

Max slumped in his desk chair and picked up his cell phone. He’d gotten it for his thirteenth birthday and mostly used it to text back and forth with Owen.
