New Blog Post: I Receive an Ultimatum—From the Home Eco. Teacher
Yo.
Today is officially down there with some of my other really bad days, sitting a few spots away from the incident. Yes, that bad.
My day started out pretty badly. As in, waking up to the sound—and later, the smell—of one of Gazzy's gifts. Not the best way to start the day, right?
Then I got sent to the principal's office during first period. No, I didn't do anything. Anne had called the school to pass on a message for me. Why she couldn't have called my cell phone and save herself the trouble was beyond me… until I remembered that Iggy had taken it apart a week ago for one of his experiments.
It was first period—bright, early hours of the morning—, what did you expect?
Anne's message was simple: she had to leave on an emergency trip for work, so her sister, my 'aunt', would come stay with us until she returned. That got me pretty confused. Why would my aunt have to come over? Usually, when Anne left on work trips, I was in charge.
I got my answer during third period.
You remember my Home Eco. teacher, right? That weirdo that cracks some really good jokes. Yeah, that one.
My midterm exam got moved up, strangely enough. Except that, instead of a paper and sixty minutes to fill it up with what I supposed were the correct answers, I got a project.
A freakin' week-long project.
Brief project overview: Me + project partner + some kid from the local orphanage = best week of the kid's life. We'll spend the whole week cooped up in some apartment the school ever so generously provided for us (the teacher's words, not mine), just us three acting out our part as a completely dysfunctional 'family'.
Joy.
This could've ended up worse for me. I could be paired up with, say, the skank. Or one of her friends. That would've been a lot worse than my actual partner.
Err… I think.
I'll let you decide: which do you think is worse? Remember, I have to spend a whole week with this girl, doing the whole 'mommy and daddy' act for the orphan kid.
The skank, or the girl?
Yeah, yeah. That girl. You know which one. (If you're new to the blog, and you actually don't know which one, please refer to posts from early September.)
I can honestly say this week will be hell. She hates me. A lot. And, unless by some miracle I change her mind about me at some point during this week, I'm doomed.
I'm mentally preparing myself as I type. That… and wondering whether I finished my Social Studies paper. It's supposedly due next week… does that mean I have to turn it in once I get back from the week in hell? Probably…
Seeing as the project will span the entire next week, all the way up to Sunday night, I should get working on that paper. No need to be working on it during the dawning hours on Monday. I think we've established that I cherish my sleep.
And, on that note, I should probably go.
Vote in the comments: The skankor the girl? Which would ultimately end up in my death first?
Fly on,

AN:
Short, I know. The rest of the chapters will be longer, I promise.
I added a chapter to Project: Family, explaining everything. I didn't want to taint this story with my famous, mile-long ANs. If you want to know what's going to happen with this story, and what's going to happen to Project: Family, go and read it. You may cuss me out in the reviews for that one, but I'll be selfish and ask you to please not do that.
You can rant away in a PM, though, if you like.
To new readers: Welcome to the story! It's a sequel of sorts, to my year-old story, Project: Family. My suggestion: for every chapter you read here, read one in the other story. And bounce along like that to get the full scoop of it. See, I'm editing PF, and will upload an edited chapter for every chapter I upload in this story.
Thanks for checking this out, people! To my old fans, I'm really sorry. Check out my AN in PF to get an explanation on everything I'm doing right now. I promise I'll make sure it isn't a mile-long. I know I used to annoy you guys with those :)
I should update in about four days. I'm taking this one a bit slower than PF, to make sure I don't fall behind. In the meantime, review?

PS. I couldn't come up with a better title and, to be honest, I just don't like it. Suggestions, anyone? 'Winner' gets a sneak peek at the next chapter (so make sure you're not anonymous in the suggestion, else I won't be able to PM the excerpt to you...)
Important Note: Something got messed up in the story summary. I already fixed it-the changes should be up in about an hour, according to FF. Blah.
