I would meet him just to see what he had. It might not be the spelling bee folder, or it might be something that was not cheating but was helpful. Like a special medicine that would save Josh from the stomach flu. Meeting Daniel did not mean Josh was going to cheat, and if he just stared at me when he got here and said nothing, I could run inside my house and slam the door.

I sealed the letter up in an envelope, wrote Daniel Fink on the front with his address beneath, wrote my address in the left hand corner but not my name, because two can play at that game, and then I put the letter in our mailbox. Then I remembered that you have to put a stamp on the letter, so I ran out to get it, stuck on a stamp, and put the letter back in the mailbox. Then I remembered that I forgot to put the flag up on the mailbox, so I ran back out to put up the flag. Then my mom yelled at me for leaving the house again when it was time for dinner, so I couldn’t run out one more time to make sure the stamp hadn’t fallen off, but I stared at the mailbox through the window for five minutes to make sure no one stole the letter.

To my surprise, Daniel Fink limped out from a hiding spot in our neighbor’s yard. He walked over to the mailbox, took my letter, then walked away.
