She’d confronted Eddie that afternoon after school. They were at the highway gas-station store, Dee stacking magazines, Eddie playing with her calculator.

“Apes in Africa? Ask the Apes in Africa. That’s what you wrote for the answer of a math question, Eddie. A math question. Jeez. You know how that looks? Makes you look like a total idiot. And you’re not.”

Eddie, his mouth full of chocolate, said, “Was the answer thirty?”

Dee straightened. “Yeah, it should have been. Actually, you sort of got it right by saying something like 330-300. Just write the answer next time, okay? Don’t be cute.”

He shrugged. “Okay. Apes in Africa sometimes travel in groups of up to thirty, just so you know.”

She slapped down the pile of magazines she’d been holding.

“So what about S as an answer? Or tar, Eddie? TAR?? Any code breaker for those?”

“Hmmm, usually S is six, but I don’t remember tar. Oh, star! Five points on a star, so five.” Eddie stooped down to start stacking.

Dee stared at the back of his head. “How about the blanks, Eddie? The places you wrote blank?”

“Oh, I don’t know, just bored, I guess. Thinking of something else. School is so boring.”

“Yeah, well, Mr. Werner’s going to have you in for an assessment,” Dee warned, “so try to act normal, please. Just normal, okay?”

Eddie looked up. “Greg? Oh, good. I hope he wears the gorilla tie.”
