"I've got a four-point-oh GPA!"

"That doesn't stop you from being a sissy!"

"Is somebody out there?" came a female voice from the other side of the door. Before we knew it, the door was swinging open. I snagged the other walkie-talkie and handed it to Sybil. We hid them behind our backs just as the door opened on Dirk's mother.

"Hi," she said cheerily. She had dark hair like Dirk and a pleasant face. A puzzled look came over her as she stared out at us--two geek guys and two girls who didn't look like cheerleaders. "Are you kids friends of Dirk's?"

"Yes," snapped Milton, in an attempt to seize control of the moment.

"Oh?" she replied, looking Milton up and down. "What team are you on?"

"The chess team," he said, and shot us a look that implied he was brilliant.

We all shot him the stink eye.

"This is a joke, right? "Mrs. Conrad said, her voice laced with skepticism. "What do you kids want?" The door inched shut.

"You caught us, Mrs. Conrad," I said, giving a quick but hearty laugh. I eased in front of Milton. ''Actually, we're Dirk's tutors. But we like to put you parents on from time to time. Gotcha!" I laughed some more. She stared at me cautiously for a moment, but eventually she smiled and pulled the door open wider.

"I didn't think Dirk knew how to play chess. You kids had me going there," she said with a chuckle. "So, four tutors. I didn't realize he was doing that badly."

"He's not. But since Dirk is a top athlete the school just wants to make sure he's getting all the help he needs." The words came tumbling out of me. I hoped they made sense.
