The next morning in Home room the announcements crackle on the side of the loud speaker.  They talk about the Manual cross-country team defeating Woodruff and Farmington in a dual meet. They mention Peacock’s name as the overall winner as well as my   name and Jose's .
When they mention my name Madame stops and looks at me before addressing me as Raoul and inquires something in francais. I pick at the statement. I can tell that she’s saying something like

“You never told us you were an athlete.”
“Oui.” I respond, trying to act like it is no big deal.


Oui.
