My parents walked into my room, mid-game, and unplugged my console. My dad held up my report card with a D in algebra and said, "No more games until your grades come up." The next day, I walked into the kitchen and told him my friends started a study group at his house. My dad dropped me off that first night and watched me walk in with my backpack. He saw textbooks on the table and drove away smiling. My friend's mom sat us down and made us do homework for the first hour. The second that hour was up, my friend turned on Fortnite, and we gamed for the rest of the night. When my dad picked me up, he asked how it went. I told him we studied the whole time. He squeezed my shoulder and said, "That's my boy." Every night after that, he'd pull up during the first hour and peek through the window. Textbooks out, homework spread across the table. By the time we switched to Fortnite, he was long gone. One night, my friend's mom came outside and told him, "Your son's been making my boy actually do his homework. He never used to. After that, my dad stopped getting out of the car. He'd just honk, and I'd come out. One night, I looked out the window, and my dad was walking up the driveway, carrying a box of pizza. He was coming inside to thank my friend's parents. I jumped off the couch. I slapped my friend's arm and he yelled, "Grab the math books. We threw the controllers under the couch cushions and had textbooks open by the time the front door opened. My dad walked in with the pizza grinning. He looked at the table covered in math books and started beaming. He pulled out his phone and took a photo of me pointing at equations in a calculus textbook. I still had a D in algebra. I just nodded and kept pointing like I knew what I was talking about while our Fortnite characters were getting eliminated in the background. My dad sent the photo to my mom, and she called me that night, crying about how proud she was. He went back to honking from the driveway. To them, I was a math tutor, but really, I was top 10 in Fortnite."
