i'；d take it to school with me。 but in this school they was a cafeteria with nine or ten different
things to eat an i'；d have trouble makin up my mind what i wanted。 i think somebody must of said
somethin； cause after a week or so coach fellers e up to me an say to just go ahead an eat all
i wanted cause it been 〃taken care of。〃 hot damn！
guess who should be in my homeroom class but jenny curran。 she e up to me in the
hall an say she remember me from first grade。 she was all growed up now； with pretty black hair
an she was long…legged an had a beautiful face； an they was other things too； i dare not mention。
the football was not goin exactly to the likin of coach fellers。 he seemed displeased a lot
an was always shoutin at people。 he shouted at me too。 they tried to figger out some way for me
to just stay put an keep other folks from grappin our guy carryin the ball； but that didn'；t work cept
when they ran the ball right up the middle of the line。 coach was not too happy with my tacklin
neither； an let me tell you； i spent a lot of time at that oak tree。 but i just couldn'；t get to where i
would thow mysef at the ball guy like they wanted me to do。 somethin kep me from it。
then one day a event happen that changed all that too。 in the cafeteria i had started gettin my
food and goin over to set nex to jenny curran。 i wouldn'；t say nothin； but she was jus bout the
only person in the school i knew halfways； an it felt good setting there with her。 most of the time
she didn'；t pay me no attention； an talked with other people。 at first i'；d been settin with some of
the football players； but they acted like i was invisible or somethin。 at least jenny curran acted
like i was there。 but after a wile of this； i started to notice this other guy was there a lot too； an he
starts makin wisecracks bout me。 sayin shit like 〃how'；s dumbo？〃 an all。 and this gone on for a
week or two； an i was sayin nothin； but finally i says— i can'；t hardly believe i said it even now—
but i says； 〃i ain'；t no dumbo；〃 an the guy jus looked at me an starts laughin。 an jenny curran；
she say to the guy to keep quiet； but he takes a carton of milk an pours it in my lap an i jump up
an run out cause it scares me。
a day or so later； that guy e up to me in the hall an says he'；s gonna 〃get〃 me。 all day i
was afraid terribily； an later that afternoon； when i was leaving to go to the gym； there he is； with
a bunch of his friends。 i tried to go the other way； but he e up to me an start pushin me on the
shoulders。 an he'；s sayin all kinds of bad things； callin me a 〃stupo〃 an all； an then he hit me in the
stomach。 it didn'；t hurt so much； but i was startin to cry and i turned an begun to run； an heard him
behind me an the others was runnin after me too。 i jus run as fast as i could toward the gym；
across the practice football field an suddenly i seen coach fellers； settin up in the bleachers
watchin me。 the guys who was chasin me stop and go away； an coach fellers； he has got this
real peculiar look on his face； an tell me to get suited up right away。 a wile later； he e in the
locker room with these plays drawn on a piece of paper— three of them— an say for me to
memorize them best i can。
that afternoon at the football practice； he line everbody up in two teams an suddenly the
quarterback give me the ball an i'；m sposed to run outside the right end of the line to the goalpost。
when they all start chasin me； i run fast as i can— it was seven or eight of them before they could
drag me down。 coach fellers is mighty happy； jumpin up and down an yellin an slappin everbody
on the back。 we'；d run a lot of races before； to see how fast we could run； but i get a lot faster
when i'；m bein chased； i guess。 what idiot wouldn'；t？
anyway； i bee a lot more popular after that； an the other guys on the team started bein
nicer to me。 we had our first game an i was scared to death； but they give me the ball an i
run over the goal line two or three times an people never been kinder to me after that。 that
highschool certainly begun to change things in my life。 it even got to where i liked to run with the
football； cept it was mostly that they made me run aroun the sides cause i still couldn'；t get to
where i liked to just run over people like you do in the middle。 one of the goons ments that i
am the largest highschool halfback in the entire world。 i do not think he mean it as a pliment。
otherwise； i was learnin to read a lot better with miss henderson。 she give me tom sawyer
an two other books i can'；t remember； an i took them home an read em all； but then she give me a
test where i don'；t do so hot。 but i sure enjoyed them books。
after a wile； i went back to settin nex to jenny curran in the cafeteria； an there weren'；t no
more trouble for a long time； but then one day in the springtime i was walkin home from school
and who should appear but the boy that poured that milk in my lap an chased me that day。 he got
hissef a stick an start callin me things like 〃moron〃 and 〃stupo。〃
some other people was watchin an then along es jenny curran； an i'；m bout to take off
again— but then； for no reason i know； i jus didn'；t do it。 that feller take his stick an poke me in
the stomach with it； an i says to mysef； the hell with this； an i grapped a holt to his arm an with
my other hand i knock him upside the head an that was the end of that； more or less。
that night my mama get a phone call from the boy'；s parents； say if i lay a han on their son
again they is goin to call the authorities an have me 〃put away。〃 i tried to splain it to my mama an
she say she understand； but i could tell she was worried。 she tell me that since i am so huge now；
i got to watch mysef； cause i might hurt somebody。 an i nodded an promised her i wouldn'；t hurt
nobody else。 that night when i lyin in bed i heard her cryin to hersef in her room。
but what that did for me； knockin that boy upside the head； put a definate new light on my
football playin。 next day； i axed coach fellers to let me run the ball straight on and he say okay；
an i run over maybe four or five guys till i'；m in the clear an they all had to start chasin me again。
that year i made the all state football team。 i couldn'；t hardly believe it。 my mama give me two
pair of socks an a new shirt on my birthday。 an she done saved up an bought me a new suit that i
wore to get the all state football award。 first suit i ever had。 mama tied my tie for me an off i
went。

the all state football banquet was to be helt in a little town called
flomaton； what coach fellers described as a 〃switch up the railroad tracks。〃 we was put on a
bus— they was five or six of us from this area who won the prize— an we was trucked up there。 it
was a hour or two before we arrived； an the bus didn'；t have no toilet； an i had drank two slurpees
