been okay-nice to me. I want to go on record as saying that. Not super-nice, like
they go out of their way to hang out with me, but okaynice, like they say hello to
me and talk to me like normal. And they didn't even make a face when Ms.
Rubin told them
to come on my side, which a lot of kids do when they think I'm
not looking. Anyway, everything was going fine until Tristan's mystery powder
started melting. He moved his foil off the plate just as my powder began to melt,
too, which is why I went to move mine off the plate, and then my hand
accidentally bumped his hand for a fraction of a second. Tristan jerked his hand
away so fast he dropped his foil on the floor while also knocking everyone else's
foil off the heating plate.
"Tristan!" yelled Ms. Rubin, but Tristan didn't even care
about the spilled powder
on the floor or that he ruined the experiment. What he was most concerned
about was getting to the lab sink to wash his hands as fast as possible. That's
when I knew for sure that there was this thing about touching me at Beecher
Prep.
I think it's like the Cheese Touch in
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
. The kids in that story
were afraid they'd catch the cooties if they touched the old moldy cheese on the
basketball court. At Beecher Prep, I'm the old moldy cheese.
