When TJ claimed that he was looking for his cap in the Logan’s house, what was he actually looking for? How did he react when questioned? In Chapter 4

When T.J. claimed to be looking for his cap, he was actually looking for the answers to theor upcoming history test. When questioned, he claimed that friends should trust each other.

All four of us looked accusingly at T.J. and he halted. “Say, what is this? What’s the meanin’ of sneakin’ up on me like that anyway? Y’all think I was lookin’ for them test questions or somethin’? Shoot, a fellow’d think you didn’t trust him.” Then, thrusting his arm around Stacey’s shoulders, he chided, “Friends gotta trust each other, Stacey, ’cause ain’t nothin’ like a true friend.”
