Chapter 13 Summary: “Dwight and the Fight—by Tommy”
Caroline Broome is supposed to write this chapter, but she refuses to discuss Dwight or his Yoda, so Tommy fills in.
Caroline is cute and cool. She uses hearing aids and is an expert lipreader. At Fun Nights, she sits on the stage with Tommy and his friends. One day at lunch, looking upset, she asks Dwight for Yoda’s advice about a boy, Zack Martin, who’s often mean to her. That day, he broke her pencils, custom ones with her name on them that her grandmother just gave her.
Yoda thinks awhile, then whispers in Dwight’s ear. Dwight says to Caroline: “I’ll take care of it” (81). Zack, eating nearby, demands to know what Dwight will do. Zack is adult-size, and he hits people if they annoy him. Dwight ignores him and leaves. Later that day, Dwight attacks Zack in the halls, but Zack gives Dwight a black eye. Dwight gets suspended for a week; Zack gets an afternoon of in-school suspension.
