Chapter One
Boo!
shouted Emery. Philip’s heart shot up, and his stomach tumbled. He spun to face his friend.
Are you crazy? Are you really crazy? Why did you do that? I walk into your house and you jump out like a maniac? You almost gave me a heart attack.
Emery laughed and waved a hand at Philip. Get out. We’re too young to have heart attacks. Unless,
said Emery in a spooky voice, your arteries are clogged with the cholesterol of fear.
Philip stared at Emery.
What?
Emery asked.
Philip continued to stare.
Emery smiled nervously and shrugged.
Philip didn’t move a muscle.
Emery blinked and blinked again.
Philip continued to stare and refused to blink.
Say something, please,
said Emery in a small voice. He waited. Philip said nothing. Come on, you’re scaring me.
Philip kept on staring and counted to himself. When he reached three, he threw his arms in the air and shouted, BOOOO!
Ahhh!
Emery burst out. Why did you do that? Are you crazy, too? You were scaring me and then you scared me. Why’d you scare me?
Can we go back to the beginning?
Philip asked slowly, still giving Emery his coldest stare.
The beginning?
Did you ask me to come over so we could do our homework together?
Yes, I did,
said Emery, paying very close attention to Philip’s questions. He didn’t want Philip to start staring and BOO-ing him again.
Did you tell me you would leave the front door open, and I should just walk in?
Yes, I did.
Why?
So I could jump out and scare you.
Then you admit it!
Philip cried. He tried to stay calm. Why did you want to scare me?
Uh, because you said I could.
Philip stared at Emery again.
Are you going to do the staring Boo! thing again, because… ?
Emery stepped back, arms out, hands waving slowly.
No, stand still,
Philip said softly. When did I say you could jump out at me and try to give me a heart attack? When? When did I say it?
You said we would do our homework together, didn’t you?
Yeah, so? Is giving me a heart attack doing our homework together?
Philip shouted.
No, but scaring you is. I’m doing my report on how people act when they get scared. You have to do a report too, you know. The class report we have to do about a feeling. Remember?
What was the stuff you said before?
Before? When?
Before. About the arteries and the clogging.
Emery laughed. Did you like it? I made it up. I read this newspaper article about good heart health, and I read a different article about how peoples’ hearts beat faster when they get scared.
You didn’t have to read about it. I could have told you.
Yeah well, I put the two things together and I said…
I know what you said. What does cholesterol have to do with your report?
Nothing. I made a joke, for Pete’s sake.
Some dumb joke. Next time, save it for Pete.
Never mind the joke. Tell me what you felt when you got scared.
Emery scrambled to the floor and lay on his stomach, pencil in hand and notebook open. Go on.
Philip tried the best he could to remember everything he felt when Emery jumped out at him. As Philip talked, Emery wrote fast.
Good,
said Emery, his pencil zipping across the paper. Good. Now let me write what I felt when you scared me.
When Emery finished writing, Philip said, Lemme see.
Emery handed him the notebook.
Philip read, "When Philip first scared me by staring, I got scared because I didn’t know what he was doing. I felt scared because I didn’t know what would happen next. When Philip jumped at me,
