“Bernie wants to have a contest,” Sherman told him. “Between Nyce House and Rotten Stinking House.”

Wes laughed at Sherman’s pitiful insult. “Yo, what’s up with that? What kind of contest, dude?”

“Well…” I rubbed my chin. “How about a pie-eating contest? That would be fun for everyone, wouldn’t it? We all like to watch guys stuffing their face with pies, don’t we?”

They stared at me. “He’s way crazy,” Wes told Sherman.

“No. Give it a chance,” I said. “We’ll make it totally fair. Sherman, you pick a guy from my dorm to compete for Rotten House. And I’ll pick a guy from Nyce House.”

I slapped Wes on the back. “How about Wes here? Wes is a definite winner. You like pie, don’t you?”

“Yo, I like winning,” Wes said, flashing a double thumbs-up.

“Okay, so Wes will go for Nyce House. That means you’ll probably win. I don’t stand a big chance. But, okay. You pick a guy from my dorm,” I said. “Any guy at all. And we’ll…uh…have prizes. You know. Just for fun. A nice prize for the winner.”

“What kind of prize?” Sherman asked.

“Well…”

I tried to look as if I was thinking hard. “How about if my dorm wins…I get your watch?”

“I KNEW it!” Sherman screamed. “I knew it. It’s a cheap trick to take away my watch. No way! No way, Bernie! No contest!”

“But, Sherman, old pal—” I started.

“I’m not falling for it,” Sherman cried. “No pie contest. Beat it, Bernie. Beat it!”

Wes stepped up to me and waved a fist in my face. “Dude, I think Sherman wants you to beat it.”

“Okay, okay.” I turned around and walked to the door.

April-May June stood in the doorway. “Hi,” I said. “Have you been thinking about those dance lessons Saturday night?”

“Sherman wants you to beat it,” she said.

“Is that a yes?” I asked.

She pointed to the door.

I stepped through the doorway and headed back to Rotten House.

You might think I was defeated. You might think I was a loser tonight. You might think I didn’t have a plan to get that pie fight going.

If so, you don’t know Bernie B.
