Jem-Chapter 26-28

Today, Scout came home from school and told me about how Mrs. Whatshername was a hypocrite. Scout told me about how she says the Nazis are so bad and then she mentioned the case. A fire lit inside me and I just started yelling at her. That case had such a ludicrous outcome that whenever someone mentions it I go off like an erupting volcano.
It’s Halloween and I really don’t like this holiday very much. It’s for the smaller kids. Instead of planning out my costume or pranking the old ladies, I am practicing football and I am the water boy on the team. Coach says that next year if I gain 15-20 pounds I can play. I agreed to take Scout to the Halloween pageant up at the high school. She had to practice so I helped her before the performance.
We walked to the high school together and Cecil scared us pretty good after we came out from under the huge tree. I was carrying Scout’s costume and dropped it because I was so scared. We finished walking all the way up to the high school without incident. When we got there I put Scout’s ham costume behind the stage. I then gave her thirty cents and told her to hang out with Cecil, who is also in the play. The play started and Mrs. Merriweather gave this long speech and I waited for Scout to come out after Mrs. Merriweather said Po-ork. She came out a little late and was really embarrassed. We didn’t leave until the very end. Somebody asked us if we needed a ride home and I said no.
Scout an’ me started walking back home in the dark when I heard somebody coming. Scout was talkin’ about something and then I told her to hush up a minute so I could listen for it. We were stopped at the time, but as soon as we started walking I could hear him coming. I think Scout heard it too because the next time we stopped she didn’t say a word. Then right after we got out from under the big tree somebody jumped us. I was fighting him off and was telling Scout to run. The person pulled and twisted my arm until it broke real bad. After that I felt a blinding pain in my arm and then I felt him let go of me. Next thing I know I’m lying in my bed with the Doctor and Atticus standing over me. The Doctor then gave me something and I fell aslepp and didn’t hear from anybody until morning.
