“That’s yours?” I asked, settling down from my tiptoes.
“Yep,” Mr. Clifton said.
“Mr. Clifton,” I told him, very seriously, “you should probably take that down. Because otherwise someone might find out that you got an F in math.”

My eyes went wide. “You do?” That sounded crazy to me. Because why would anyone ever want to hang up an F report card, in a frame and everything? The worst report card I’d ever gotten from Mountford Prep had three U’s for Unsatisfactory, and I threw that one down the garbage chute. I definitely didn’t frame it.
