“Hey.” Savannah steps in front of me and kicks dirt onto my clean tennis
shoes. “Lemme see your math homework.”
I flick my eyes across the street toward my house. My mother’s face is
peeking through the gray curtains of our front window, watching the bus
stop like she’s started doing ever since my bike got stolen and I had to stop
riding it to school. I glance back at Savannah, but I don’t speak. Her
eyebrows scrunch before she looks toward my house and sighs.
“You’re such a weenie, Cooper,” she grumbles loudly, making the other
kids at the bus stop laugh. My ears heat, but I still don’t talk to her.
Savannah rolls her eyes and takes a dramatic step away from me before
crossing her arms over her chest and setting her attention on my house. She
doesn’t break her stare with my mother until the school bus pulls up in front
of us.
I step onto the bus and make my way down the aisle until I reach the
seventh seat from the front, then I sit on the hard bench. Savannah drops
down next to me, shoving my shoulder with hers and slinging her backpack
to the floor between her feet.
I hate the bus. The seats are uncomfortable, and it always smells like
feet. The only okay thing about taking the bus is Savannah.
“Gimme your math homework, Weenie,” she taunts with a smirk. I roll
my eyes and pretend to be annoyed, but I open my backpack anyway.
“You really should stop copying my work, Savannah. You’ll never learn
how to do it on your own,” I tell her flatly as I hand her the sheet of paper.
Savannah snorts. “Why would I wanna learn how to do this crap?”
She scribbles the equations from my worksheet onto hers, changing the
answers to a few so she doesn’t get them all correct. She does this every
time. She’s been doing it since fifth grade. I asked her once why she didn’t
just copy my work exactly as it is to get the better grade, and she said it
would be too suspicious if she suddenly started getting As.
I’m a C student, Weenie. Gotta stay a C student.
I didn’t bother pointing out that the math she had to do to make sure she
would always get a C was proof that she could be an A student if she
wanted to be. She’d have just slugged me, anyway.
I wait quietly as she finishes copying the work, then she hands it back to
me and I put it back into my backpack. She doesn’t say thank you. She
never does.
