"Professor McGuire said that if I ace his last test I would be at the top of the class for this semester," Derrick, my older brother, mentioned before shovelling food into his mouth.

I looked over at my brother with a critical eye. His left eye always had a slight twitch whenever he was lying. I wondered what he was hiding from Mom and Dad.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Keisha, are you expecting someone?" Mom looked at me over her glasses, "You know I don't like it when company disturbs dinner."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm not expecting anyone, Mom." 

"Sorry, Mom, it's me," Derrick wiped his mouth and stood up. "Craig had to drop off some papers for me that Professor McGuire needs." 

"Humph," Mom nodded and Derrick went to answer the door.

A few minutes later, Derrick returned. 

"So, what type of papers did Craig need to drop off at this hour?" I smirked in Derrick's direction. 

"Nothing that concerns a high school student," Derrick responded, annoyed.

"We'll see about that," I mumbled as I gulped down the last of my juice.
