As he walked to class, Keshawn saw Neecy coming out of Mr. Sullivan’s room. As soon as he saw her, he knew she was telling the teacher about her altered grade. Keshawn knew he had made the right choice when he chose her as his unwitting accomplice. For the first time in a long time, he felt a little optimistic.
Particularly since he had spent the evening putting part two of his plan into action.
He had set up a fake e-mail account using the name “TeacherCrusher.” It meant nothing, but Keshawn figured Luther would think it had a dirty meaning. Then he sent an e-mail from that account to Luther.
Keshawn worded the message carefully. He wanted Luther to think it was inappropriate, and everyone else to think it was innocent. So he wrote a message that could go either way.
When I saw this picture, I got excited. I really want to see you do this.
He attached a picture to the e-mail, but first he changed the file format so that Luther couldn’t open it easily. A computer tech could fix it in a flash. But he hoped Luther wouldn’t have the skill or patience to try. After all, Luther thought he knew what it was.
Which brought Keshawn to part three of the plan. It would be much, much harder to execute. He would have to choose his moment carefully. It would also require him to forfeit any chance of ever looking cool.
He hoped he had the courage to actually do it.
