Summary

Chapter 3. The next morning, Antonio’s family gets ready to go to Mass. His parents do not speak about what happened to Lupito but do keep referencing the fact that the night before was a bad one. The entire family, including Ultima, walks to Mass together. When they arrive at the cathedral, Antonio runs around the side of the building to where the other boys play before the service. The boys are all older than Antonio and play rough with each other. An especially gruff boy named Horse calls Antonio over to him and attempts to rough him up. Antonio flips Horse onto the ground, much to the surprise of the other boys. Instead of being angry, Horse is amused by Antonio and the rest of the boys crowd around to meet Antonio. Mass begins and the boys go inside.
