Wednesday was business as usual at school: a pop quiz here, a spelling test there. No one even mentioned the eye patch.

Right before lunch I heard a low voice behind me: “I hope you enjoyed your day off!” I should’ve known it was Deuce. He was making his voice sound like the drill sergeant he thought he was.

“Some day off,” I said. “I must’ve pulled up half the weeds in Florida.”

“That’s highly unlikely,” he began. “In the Everglades alone there are …” And then he caught himself and went back into Super Trainer mode. “I mean, you’re going to wish you were pulling weeds today! We’re going to do twice as many stairs, and I have something new planned, too.”

“Oh, great,” I said. I could feel those backpacks on me already.

A few hours later, I was getting ready to put them on for real. I was swapping out the textbooks in my school pack for the heavy load of old notebooks and other stuff. Before I put it on, I bent down and stuck my hand under my bed. I fished around until I found the box with the goggles.

I took them out and looked at them. I guessed it wouldn’t be so bad to wear them to the park. There was hardly anyone there during the week, anyway, and I really didn’t like the way the patch got all sweaty. I put the goggles on. It was nice to be able to see with both eyes.

Right on cue, I heard Mike knocking on the door. I could tell it was him because he always knocked too hard. I walked out to the kitchen wearing both backpacks and the goggles. Mike and Deuce had gone easy on me with the eye patch, but I was sure they’d bust on me for the goggles.
