Hey, Filthy Felthy!\u201d It was a guy called Chim. I was in junior high and he was in high school. I didn\u2019t know Chim\u2019s real name, or why he\u2019d picked me out for bullying<\/a>, but it didn\u2019t matter. I knew he played on the football team and that he took perverse pleasure in shoving me into the dirt. Why, Lord, why? <\/em>I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi, Filthy Felthy,\u201d Chim called one day. \u201cReady for your daily dusting? Why don\u2019t you run?\u201d<\/p>\n

I was a decent runner for seventh grade, but Chim could easily catch me. That was probably what he wanted. To take me down hard. Lord, Lord, <\/em>I thought, I can\u2019t fight this bully alone. You\u2019ll have to help.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t run from you,\u201d I said firmly, then blurted, \u201cbut I\u2019ll race you!\u201d As soon as the words left my mouth I was sorry. Chim was a foot taller than me. What was I thinking?<\/p>\n

Chim looked as shocked as I was. \u201cReally, you think you can outrun me?\u201d he sneered. \u201cOkay. If you win I\u2019ll leave you alone. Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeal,\u201d I said. There was no backing out now. We walked to the track that circled the football field. Along the way we picked up curious onlookers. Chim promised they\u2019d get to watch him beat me up. He gave me little shoves as we walked, chanting, \u201cFilthy Felthy! Filthy Felthy!\u201d<\/p>\n

God, I\u2019m counting on you to get me out of this mess!<\/em><\/p>\n

Chim offered to give me a 20-foot head start, but I declined. If I was going to get beaten, I might as well do it righteously.<\/p>\n

\u201cReady, set, go!\u201d<\/p>\n

Chim took off, legs pumping. He left me in the dust. I almost gave up right then. But something made me keep running.<\/a> I gained a little ground. I pulled even with Chim. Then, as if my legs were filled with an unknown power, I surged ahead.<\/p>\n

I could hear Chim breathing behind me, the slap of his feet on the track. The sound got fainter as I ran faster\u2014right to the finish line. It was then that I heard a voice, or what sounded like a voice: Well done, David.<\/em><\/p>\n

From that day on, nobody ever called me Filthy Felthy again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
