All rights reserved. 1 The Scientific Mind Knows That Science Is the Search for Truth in the Natural World Although I’d realized six or eight weeks ago that I was crazy about Tina Zabinski and I wanted to go on a date with her the same way I want to keep converting oxygen into carbon dioxide, I’d been playing it cool, taking it slow. I was waiting for the exact right moment to present itself before making my move. That’s better than saying that I couldn’t remember how to speak when she came near and I tended to fall down when she noticed me. I’d planned to ask her out recently; I had the perfect first date in mind, one that would show her how lucky she was to be with a guy like me. The school dance. But I didn’t actually ask her. Thought about it, sure; planned to do it, absolutely; came right out and asked, not a chance. I’d thought I had all the time in the world to work on connecting the mind-­mouth function when I was near her. Until I walked into the school cafeteria on Monday and saw some male-­model wannabe sitting next to Tina at a lunch table. He was leaning in as he talked to her-­close enough to smell her hair-­and she laughed at something he said. I knew in an instant that I was in deep trouble. And that I’d run out of time. I went straight to my best buddy, JonPaul, who was sprinkling extra wheat germ on his organic peanut butter and raw honey sandwich. JonPaul is a health nut. “Who’s that?” I tilted my head toward Tina’s table. “The new kid.” “What new kid?” “Cash Devine.” “That’s his actual name?” “Yup.” “You’re kidding.” “Nope.” “That’s the fakest thing I ever heard.” JonPaul shrugged and swallowed a handful of vitamins with his soy milk. “How do you know him?” I asked. “He’s in my math class.” “What’s he doing at Tina’s table?” “She was assigned to show him around school, help get him familiar with everything.” “Since when did a welcome guide become standard operating procedure around here?” “I dunno. Are those organic grapes in your lunch? And if they are, can I have them? I haven’t been getting enough fiber lately and the skins would really help me out.” “Yeah.” I shoved what I knew to be run-­of-­the-­mill produce reeking of pesticides toward him as fast as I could, trying to avoid a conversation about what happens to JonPaul’s digestive tract when he’s fiber-­deprived. Been there, done that, have the horrible mental images. He lined up the grapes next to his baby car- rots, Greek yogurt, hardboiled eggs and stone-­ground gluten-­free crackers. I ate a handful of chocolate-­covered potato chips while I studied Tina and the Threat. Cash caught me looking at him when Tina turned to talk to the girl on her other side, and he headed toward me, a big cheesy grin on his face. “Cash. Cash Devine. Good to know you.” He sounded like the politicians at the Labor Day parade who hand out mini-­flags and ask for your support on Election Day. “Hey,” I grunted back. “Name’s Kevin.” “JonPaul,” he said, slapping my best friend on the back, “math is gonna be rough, buddy; hope I can count on you for some help.” “Sure.” “Do you know if my guide, Tina, has a boyfriend? She’s really hot.” I didn’t hear JonPaul’s reply; I saw his lips moving, but the pressure in my ears fr
