Don't Tap-Dance On Your Teacher
“Diz helped me limp to the nurse’s office.
When I sat down in a green plastic chair, I remembered to groan a little.
“I’ll go find the nurse,” said Ms. Diz. “Roscoe, you stay put.”
While she was gone, I thought about what injuries I needed.
They would have to be bad enough to get me out of the talent show.
Not ambulance bad.
But bad enough to get me a nice pair of crutches.
It wouldn’t be easy.
I knew Ms. Vasquez, the nurse.
She’d been a nurse a long time. She could spot a faker a mile away.
The... door opened.
I closed my eyes. I groaned and grabbed my busted leg.
I groaned so well that even I believed me.
“Here’s the patient,” said Ms. Diz. “Roscoe, I’ll check on you in a while, sweetie.”
I opened my eyes.
Where was Ms. Vasquez?
A man was standing there!
He was tall and skinny, with one of the heart-hearing death-o-scopes around his neck.
A doctor? This was bad news.
Doctors had X-ray machines.
They could look inside and tell when you were faking.
