"Let's see," he said, examining Cale's hand. "You get a trip T - that's for Troll, three times," he explained, eyes twinkling with mischief. "Sorry, Cale, but you should take more care of your hands. And nails."
He smiled, before adding, "Well, to be more serious, I'd give you an E. Exceeds expectations, man."
Then he held out his. "Grade mine. Re-grade, I mean. Please."
At first, Cale hadn't realized that Shel was joking and was about to retort on how his hands looked totally fine, when he caught on. Duh. Stupid Cale. "Thanks man," he said with a grin.
He hurried to the board and wrote "Cale Newell-E" with the chalk, then went back to his seat. Upon his return, Cale took a look at Shel's hand. "Hmmmm, I'd give them at least an E. Why, someone gave you a failing grade?" he asked in confusion.
