Maybe you jumped on your new ten-speed to go to a friend’s house and ended up in the ER nursing a broken collarbone. Or you stuck your head in between the rungs ofthe railing and had to wait, embarrassed down to your toes, for the firefighters to get you unstuck.  \nOr maybe you ended up hiding in the boys ’ locker room because your English teacher is a witch and is trying to kill you. That ever happen to you?  \nI thought not. My name is Sam Baron, and I have some advice for you: If you find a strange dwarf in your garage, don’t let him into your house and don’t—I repeat do not—let him take you through a stonefire.  \nI live in a small town in eastern Oregon called Pilot Rock, named for the gigantic tenstory boulder that sits just outside of town on the Umatilla Indian reservation. You can climb to the top if you know the way. There’s a trail, but you need to be a mountain goat to get all the way up.  \nI like to get up early and ride my bike out to the edge of town and watch the sun rise over the top of the rock. The sun is my anchor. Seeing it rise every day takes away the emptiness that claws at me. Somehow it gives me hope that things will work out.  \nBecause for me, things have a way of not working out.  \nYou should know from the start, I’m no hero. For one thing, I’ve got a temper. I could tell you stories about the number of times I’ve gotten into fights with kids twice my size, but its best to start a few months ago on the day I turned twelve.  \nOne minute I was enjoying my slice of birthday cake, the next, I had Ronnie Polk down on the ground, pounding his face into the dirt like a punching bag. The little creep had called my dad a deadbeat.  \nYeah, I’ve got dad issues. He took off a few years ago. No note, no card. Just disappeared one night. Anyway, Ronnie had been taunting me all day. I think he was jealous of my new bike. It was silver and shiny and more than my mom could afford.  \nI was looking forward to spending the summer riding bikes with my best friend, Howie, when Ronnie opened his big trap. Howie said I turned bright red. All I remember is the sun felt too hot on my face, like I was burning up inside. The cake slipped out of my hands. A roar in myears sent me sliding into a pot of boiling rage. I don’t even remember hitting him, but when they pulled me off, his nose was squashed flatter than a pancake.  \nHe’d called me a freak as his mother rushed him away, looking at me like I was some kind of monster.  \nGet the picture? Not a hero.  \nI spent the rest ofthe summer on lockdown, mowing endless lawns to pay Ronnie’s mom back for the doctor bills to straighten out his nose. I didn’t get to ride my new bike even once. The start of seventh grade was my chance to turn over a new leaf. Besides, my mom had threatened to send me to military school if I so much as talked back to a teacher once.  \nThings started off well even though everyone had heard about how I’d plastered Ronnie’s face. It became a game with the eighth graders to see if they could get me to lose my temper.  \nThey tried to pick fights with me almost daily, but I kept my head down and ignored their taunts. I didn’t even flinch when one of the jocks dumped a cherry soda on my head. Nope, I was a new  \nman.  \nUntil the day Ms. Endera showed up.  \n\\#  \nI rolled into first period English five minutes late as usual. I wasn ’t too worried. Mr. Platz didn’t mind if you were a little late as long as you brought him your old Gamer magazines. Only today, the front of the room was empty. Kids sat on desks throwing wads of paper, chattering like hyenas. One girl, Keely Hatch, sat quietly with her head bent over a book. A crowd of boys was teasing someone in the back. It didn’t take a genius to figure out whose red tennis shoes were sticking out.  \nHowie got picked on a lot. He hadn’t grown into his skinny arms yet, and his pants were usuall","cbCaikbWVZjVZkBn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikbWVZjVZkBn","pdf",36102,"English","# Chapter One\n## Sam’s Life in Pilot Rock\n## The Birthday Incident and Aftermath\n## Eighth Graders’ Games with His Temper\n## Ms. Endera Arrives in English Class\n## The Lizard-Magic Announcement","[{\"question\":\"Who is Sam Baron and what keeps him going?\",\"answer\":\"\"},{\"question\":\"What causes Sam’s reputation for fighting?\",\"answer\":\"\"},{\"question\":\"What happens when Ms. Endera takes over English class?\",\"answer\":\"\"}]","The Red Sun - Chapter 1 - A Strange New Teacher | PDF"]
