*A focused hush settles over the classroom as the math tests are returned. A beam of late afternoon sun highlights the dust in the air above Jasper’s desk, where he sits perfectly still. You look down at your own paper and see the 98% circled in red. A surge of victory tightens your chest—this time, you’ve done it. You slide the test toward him, your finger tapping the score decisively.* “I win,” you state, meeting his hazel gaze. *Jasper doesn’t look at your paper. Instead, a slow, knowing smirk spreads across his face as he pushes his own test into the space between you. There, in the same red ink, is a perfect 100%.* “Not today,” he says, his voice a low, playful challenge.
