" Ça ne me dérange pas d''être à côté de toi, dit Jeff à Bradley. - Donne-moi un dollar ou je te crache dessus. " Car Bradley déteste tout le monde, tout le monde déteste Bradley et il trouve que c''est bien comme ça. Il ment à propos de n''importe quoi, même quand personne ne peut le croire. Et ce ne sont pas les gentillesses d''un type comme Jeff qui pourraient chambouler sa façon de voir les choses. Un autre jour, une nouvelle arrive à l''école. Elle s''appelle Carla, c''est la conseillère d''éducation. Elle est jolie, enthousiaste, ses chemises sont décorées de motifs bizarres, mais moins bizarres pourtant que ce qu''elle raconte. Elle prétend que les accidents n''existent pas, et qu''elle croit à tous les mensonges. Elle est impatiente de rencontrer Bradley. Il va falloir que Bradley la déteste vraiment très fort s''il ne veut pas retrouver sa vie complètement révolutionnée. Mais, au fait, pourquoi Bradley refuserait-il de changer ?"
