We’re on break, and in the hallway is a 13? 14? year old kid about to testify in a criminal trial, and he’s so, so nervous.
“I’m not ready for this,” he’s repeating, half-joking. “I’m not ready for this. I watch too many crime shows. It feels like a roller coaster.”
“Do you like roller coasters?” asks his chaperone.
“No,” he says.
This kid is a goddamned hero. There are 150 adults here trying to get out of four days of their civic duty and he’s muscling through to go tell the truth.
