to understand how I got myself into this mess.Actually,it was AJ's idea.He's my cousin,kind of halfwaybetween a brother and a friend,since we are only twoyears apart.We have lived next door to each other all ofour lives.We were in middle school together—me in sixthgrade,AJ in eighth.We were both looking forward to along summer,before the trouble started.  \nSummer was only a day away,and AJ had just  \ngraduated from the eighth grade.To celebrate,he andthree of his friends decided to paint some of the trees inthe vacant lot near the school.They smeared KMS,whichstands for Kingley Middle School,the year,and theirinitials all over the trunks.Usually I'm not welcome whenAJ is with his friends,but this time he let me tag alongto help carry the paint.It didn't seem like a bad idea tosneak out,slap on the paint,and sneak back home.Wefigured it might become a school tradition.  \nThe only problem was that we got caught.A patrolcar pulled up just as we were finishing.Everyone tookoff running at high speed.We might have gotten awaytoo,except that I tripped and fell over a tree root,and AJstopped to help me up.So he and I were left holding theempty paint cans!  \nOfficer Yee said,\"I could haul the two of you down tothe station for this.\"  \nI have to admit I was shaking in my sneakers.I didn'tthink anyone would take our prank this seriously.  \n\"But I know your parents and your school principal.I'llreport this incident to Ms.Matthews tomorrow and lether decide what to do with you,\"Officer Yee concluded.  \nAt nine o'clock the next morning,AJ and I were in theprincipal's office.Ms.Matthews,usually a pretty friendlyperson,wasn't looking very friendly at that moment.  \n\"Dean and AJ,I′m surprised at you,\"she said.  \n\"We didn't really hurt the trees,\"I said.\"We justwrote on them with a little paint.\"  \nAJ chimed in.\"And that place is a dump anyway.Whocares how it looks?\"  \n\"A dump,huh?\"Ms.Matthews gazed out thewindow.Across the road was the vacant lot with its  \nstagnant pond and scrawny woods.Splashes of bright redpaint covered five of the trees.  \n“That gives me an idea.I'm assigning you a  \ncommunity
