Chapter 11 - Randy lies

Now I had to stay in bed. Probably just today. Today came and went, along with the next day, and the next day. A whole WEEK went by, and I had to stay in bed. That sucked. On the seventh day, Randy came in. He reminded me about having to go to see the judge. I didn’t want to think about that. That scared me. Then he told me that Johnny had had the knife, thus implying that Johnny was dead. I told him the truth, that I had had the knife, thus implying that Johnny was NOT dead. He said Johnny had the knife. I told him I had the knife. He said Johnny had the knife. I told him I had the knife. Then Darry came in, and took Randy out. Darry told Randy not to mention Johnny. I guess Darry meant that Randy should stop lying. Then Darry told me to put out my cigarette, and be a little neater with my books.
