When Your Best Friend Becomes Your Enemy
Arnold Spirit Jr. was born with water on the brain-a condition that nearly killed him as an infant and left him with a stutter, a lisp, seizures, and thick glasses that magnify his mismatched eyes. On the Spokane Indian Reservation, these differences make him a walking target. Kids call him "retard." He gets beaten up regularly. His only refuge? Drawing cartoons that speak when his voice fails him, creating worlds where he isn't trapped by poverty and pain. When his beloved dog Oscar falls violently ill, the true horror of reservation poverty reveals itself. There's no money for a vet. No way for a fourteen-year-old to earn hundreds of dollars quickly. His father ends Oscar's suffering with a rifle shot behind the shed. Junior wants to hate his parents for their poverty, but he can't. His mother could have gone to college. His father could have been a musician. But reservation Indians rarely get those chances. The cycle feels inescapable-being Indian means being destined for poverty, and poverty teaches you nothing except how to stay poor. Everything changes when his geometry teacher Mr. P visits during Junior's suspension for throwing a book. Instead of anger, Mr. P brings revelation. He confesses that as a young teacher, he was instructed to "kill the Indian to save the child"-destroying culture to force assimilation. Looking at Junior with tears streaming, Mr. P delivers the message that will shatter everything: "You have to take your hope and go somewhere where other people have hope." Junior announces he's transferring to Reardan, the rich white farm town twenty-two miles away. When he tells Rowdy-his best friend and protector for fourteen years-Rowdy's eyes narrow dangerously. "Don't touch me, you retarded fag!" Rowdy screams before punching Junior hard in the face. Junior's heart breaks "into fourteen pieces, one for each year of our friendship." His best friend has become his worst enemy. This is the price of seeking a better life.
