The narrator truly shows he was tough when he starts realizing he didn't need to join scouting to be tough but to be truly tough he shows bravery when crossing the bridge all the same hoping his friends weren't coming after him so they could just decide to go home and just call it a night and lie to Mr.Brenkman but his friends were not tough enough decide whether they should go home or not but the Narrator was the one to decide to go home. Horse and Max are the Narrator's friends, while the Narrator is thinking he isn't so strong he thinks his friends are stronger than him so he tries to be tough.
