who didn't pass it would have to come to school on Saturday and

take it again, most particularly me, since I didn't pass the last unit

test. He said that right out in front of everyone as usual. You can

imagine how much I disliked Mr. Burke.

But I did plan to study just to prove to him that I'm smart—which I

am mostly—except in math, which I'd be okay in if I could

remember my times tables. Anyway, I got my desk ready to study.

Just when I was ready to work, Nicho came into my room with two

new rabbits. They jumped onto my desk and knocked my books to

the ground.

I yelled for my mother to come and help me pick up my books, but

Carlotta was crying as usual and Mother said I was old enough to

help myself. My mother is one of those people who tell you

everything you've done wrong for thirty years like you do it every

day. It drives me crazy.

Anyway, Nicho and I took the rabbits outside but then Phillip came

to my room and also Marty from next door and before long it was

dinner. After dinner my father said I could watch a special on

television if I'd done all my homework.

Of course I said I had.

That was the beginning. I felt terrible telling my father a lie about

the homework, so I couldn't even enjoy the special. I guessed he

knew I was lying and was so disappointed he couldn't talk about it. Not much is important in our family. Marty's mother warns him to look okay all the time and my friend Nathan has to do well in school and Andy has so many rules to follow that he must have gone crazy just trying to remember them. My parents don't bother making up a lot of rules. But we do have to tell the truth—even if it's bad, which it usually is. You can imagine how I didn't really enjoy the special. It was nine o'clock when I got up to my room and that was too late to study for the unit test, so I lay in my bed with the light off and decided what I would do the next day when I was in Mr. Burke's math class not knowing the 8- and 9-times tables.

So, you see, the cheating was planned after all.

But at night, thinking about Mr. Burke—who could scare just about

sensible to cheat. It didn't even seem bad when I thought of my

parents' big concern about telling the truth.

I'd go into class happily as usual, acting like things were going just

great, and no one, not even Mr. Burke, would suspect the truth. I'd

sit down next to Stanley Plummer—he is so smart in math that it

makes you sick—and from time to time, I'd glance over at his paper

to copy the answers. It would be easy. In fact, every test before, I

had to try hard not to see his answers because our desks are almost

on top of each other.

And that's exactly what I did this morning. It was easy. Everything

was okay except that my stomach was upside down and I wanted to

die.

The fact is, I couldn't believe what I'd done in cold blood. I began to

wonder about myself—really wonder—things like whether I would

steal from stores or hurt someone on purpose or do some other

terrible things I couldn't even imagine. I began to wonder whether I

was plain bad to the core.

I've never been a wonderful kid that everybody in the world loves

and thinks is so great, like Nicho. I have a bad temper and I like to

have my own way and I argue a lot. Sometimes I can be mean. But

most of the time I've thought of myself as a pretty decent kid.

Mostly I work hard, I stick up for little kids, and I tell the truth.

Mostly I like myself fine—except I wish I were better at basketball. Now all of a sudden I've turned into this criminal. It's hard to believe I'm just a boy. And all because of one stupid math test.

Lying on the floor of my room, I began to think that probably I've

been bad all along. It just took this math test to prove it. I'll

probably never tell the truth again.

I tell my mother I'm sick when she calls me to come down for

dinner. She doesn't believe me, but puts me to bed anyhow. I lie

there in the early winter darkness wondering what terrible thing I'll

be doing next when my father comes in and sits down on my bed. "What's the matter?" he asks.

"I've got a stomach ache," I say. Luckily, it's too dark to see his face.

"Your mother says you've been in your room since school."

"I was sick there too," I say.

"She thinks something happened today and you're upset."

That's the thing that really drives me crazy about my mother. She knows about things inside my head the same as if I was turned inside out.

"Well," my father says. I can tell he doesn't believe me.

"My stomach is feeling sort of upset," I hedge.

"Okay," he says and he pats my leg and gets up.

Just as he shuts the door to my room I call out to him in a voice I don't even recognize as my own that I'm going to have to run away. "How come?" he calls back not surprised or anything.

So I tell him I cheated on this math test. To tell the truth, I'm pretty surprised at myself. I didn't plan to tell him anything.

He doesn't say anything at first and that just about kills me. I'd be fine if he'd hit me or something else. To say nothing can drive a person crazy.

And then he says I'll have to call Mr. Burke.

It's not what I had in mind. "Now?" I ask surprised.

"Now," he says. He turns on the light and pulls off my covers.

"I'm not going to," I say.

But I do it. I call Mr. Burke, probably waking him up, and I tell him exactly what happened, even that I decided to cheat the night before the test. He says I'll have to come on Saturday to take another test, which is okay with me, and I thank him a whole lot for being understanding and all. He's not friendly, but he's not absolutely mean either.

"Today I thought I was turning into a criminal," I tell my father
