I read about Dave stealing and getting in trouble, so he runs away, but then Rose comes and picks him up. He is promised to talk to his dad, and he won't run away again. His life was going well until 6th grade where he was teased a lot. He decided to join John's gang, but he wanted Dave to prove himself by flattening the teacher's tires. Dave flattens one, but doesn't go on. John then tells him to prove himself by being look out while John burns down the teachers classroom. Dave begins to boast about the plan. Weeks and weeks later, John sets fire to the classroom, but he gets scared and runs. Dave tries to put the fire out, and he did with gravel, but he gets sent to the principals office, and the cops and the foster parents were called.
