1st Half of the Book

I am reading the book Pop, by Gordon Kormon. Right now, I am halfway through the book. I am glad I am not in Marcus' position. He's a new kid that practices football everyday in a park. A random stranger named Charlie starts appearing in this park. Charlie has gotten Marcus in trouble on two occasions. Marcus can't blame it on Charlie because he has Alzheimer's disease, and Charlie's family doesn't want anyone to know about it. If Marcus turned him in, everyone would find out. If I were in Marcus' position, I wouldn't know what to do. It's probably really hard for him to confess to commiting a crime that he didn't do.
