My classmates and I did not like the new boy, David. It was not because we knew he
was a bad boy, or because he had done anyone of us any harm. We knew we did not like
him.
He was a stranger in our barrio, and we did not like strangers. Ours was a little barrio
where everybody knew everybody else. I knew all my classmates and their fathers and their
mothers and their brothers and their sisters, and I was sure all my classmates knew me, and
my father, and my mother, and my brother, and my sisters.
But we knew nothing about David, or his father or his mother. We only knew that they
had come at the beginning of the school year, and that they were renting the big house at
the bend of the road. My father said that they had come from Pampanga, and that David’s
father was in charge of repairing the old bridge across the Malabon River.
