You hand over the test.
Ninety-four.
Someone looks at the paper.
“What happened to the other six points?”
“I don’t know.”
The paper is folded in half and set on the counter.
Dinner is ready.
Someone asks you to wash your hands.
Nobody asks whether the test was difficult. Nobody asks whether you’re happy with the grade. Nobody asks whether you’re proud of yourself.
Next week you bring home another one.
