My third-grade teacher posted the wall chart of collected data. We bunched up in front of it and viewed the stats. I was not too tall or too short, thankfully. My weight, however, was upsetting. Only a handful of my classmates weighed in the 70s.
All eyes went to Kevin’s number, it turned out, which exposed a whopping 99 pounds. My weight barely got a mention.
Even when it wasn’t Halloween or Christmas or Valentine’s Day or his birthday, Kevin often gave our entire class Nestle Crunch bars. Sometimes he even handed out crisp dollar bills. Though we devoured the candy and snagged the cash, we still didn’t like him.
