I can almost see them, flying up like chickadees startled from the holly tree in the woods. All the boys are in the big bathroom on the second floor, washing up before breakfast. The littlest kids stand on tiptoe to peek out the windows that look onto the circle driveway.
I pick Sparrow up and hold him so he can see. No kid has ever come to the school on the back of a Harley. The driver spins the back wheel, and a bunch of gravel flies up. The new kid is holding on to the waist of the driver. Then the driver takes off his helmet. We all gasp, because it turns out the driver is a lady with long straight black hair.

I call him a numbskull, but not out loud. The pretty lady turns her head again and says something. The new kid folds his arms over his chest. He just sits there with his helmet on, waiting for her to roar them back down the hill to the freeway and freedom. His black leather jacket is way too big for him. Pretty Lady keeps talking. My chest hurts just thinking about it, and Sparrow starts to weigh as much as a blue whale.
I hoist him up onto my shoulders. Sparrow reaches down and pulls on my ears. The last thing I want is for Sparrow to be sad. I can feel Mean Jack getting ready to say something rude, so I shoot him a warning look that says something even ruder. The new boy is making a break for it.

Between the left and right points, the cliff drops straight down to sharp rocks and water. Let me tell you, because I know it for a fact, no new kid would survive in there for more than an hour. But the new kid is heading to the left of the left tip of the M. That side slopes gently down to the water. And Fort Casey is just what it sounds like—an old military fort. There are tons of barracks and guns and tunnels built into the cliff. All the new kid will have to do is walk into any one of the fifty tunnels and just sit tight. Well, at least until the grown-ups find some flashlights and get a search going.
But until then, the race is on. The girls, whose bathroom is on the other side of the building, must have heard the commotion. They all come out onto the grass to watch.
