Chapter: Detention
Jack refused to tell his mother and Mr. Tushman what actually happened because he didn't want to make things worse.
I shrugged but I didn't say anything. I just couldn't. If I told him that Julian had called
August a freak, then he'd go talk to Julian about it, then Julian would tell him how I had badmouthed August, too, and everybody would find out about it.
