What's the boldest move you pulled at school? I convinced my entire high school I was colorblind for three years just to win a $50 bet It started in freshman biology when our teacher was droning on about genetic disorders. Jake Miller, cocky, rich, and always looking for entertainment Leaned over and whispered, "I bet you couldn't fake being colorblind for a whole month without getting caught. I've never been able to resist a challenge" Especially from someone like Jake who drove a BMW his daddy bought him while I worked weekends at Dairy Queen Make it until graduation and you've got a deal. I whispered back, "50 bucks says you crack in a month he smirked extending his hand" We shook on it right there, between plastic models of DNA strands. At night, I researched everything about red green colorblindness I learned about eschihara tests. Those dotted circles doctors use. How colorblind people navigate traffic lights and common mistakes they make. By morning I had a game plan. Day one, I accidentally mixed up my red and green folders in front of our math teacher. Sorry I mumbled just loud enough for him to hear. They look the same to me. He paused mid equation. Thomas, are you colorblind? I feigned embarrassment, staring at my shoes Yeah, I don't really talk about it. Words spread through the teachers lounge like wildfire. I lunch. My history teacher was asking if I needed special accommodations for map activities. By the end of the week, the school counselor called me into discuss my learning needs. I committed fully. I bought special colorblind glasses online that did absolutely nothing but look convincing. Wearing them dramatically during school events and removing them with a sigh of relief when I wanted to rest my eyes. I downloaded a colorblind simulator app to check how outfits would appear. Ensuring my mistakes were consistent. The school administration went all into. Teachers started printing special worksheets for me. The art teacher labeled my paint tubes. During driver's ed, Mr. Barnes gave me a special talk about memorizing traffic light positions instead of colors. I almost felt bad about the resources they were wasting on me. Almost. Jake was impressed, but convinced I'd slip up soon. He started setting traps. Wearing color changing shirts, asking me to grab the blue folder when there wasn't one. Trying to catch me admiring a sunset's colors. I dodged every attempt. By junior year, my reputation was cemented. I was that colorblind kid. I turned down roles in the school play that required distinguishing colors. I joined a student panel about learning disabilities where I spoke eloquently about my experience.
