  Axel was the toughest kid on the playground. He wore a leather jacket with cutoff sleeves and metal studs on the shoulders. He had a Mohawk hairstyle, listened to punk rock music, and hung out with the older kids. He rode his skateboard to school and did nose slides on the bike rack. He whooped on anyone who challenged him, but after a long day of being really tough, Axel’s mommy tucked him into bed at night and he snuggled up tightly with a fluffy pink bear that he called Mr. Tickles.

  It was the ninth inning and Bryant’s team was down by two. There was a man on first and second and Bryant was up to bat. If he could get a good hit, he could tie the game and maybe even win it. He stared the pitcher in the eye with a cold steel gaze as the ball floated from his hand. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as Bryant twirled awkwardly, swinging the bat and somehow hitting the ball with the bottom of the handle. From the sheer force of the blow, the ball bounced a few feet from Bryant and landed directly in the third baseman’s mitt, causing a force out. The third baseman tossed it to second, who rounded it out to first, and Bryant was responsible for a triple play. As the players lined up to exchange handshakes at the end of the game, the pitcher stared coolly at Bryant. They shook hands, and the pitcher said, “Nice hit, Champ. Way to get a hold of it.” Bryant had never felt more embarrassed.
