Brittney Swung her bedroom door open. She threw her book bags on the ground in a huff. She slowly descended on her bed, holding her water-soaked essay in her hand. She sat and thought about earlier that day as she store at the limp paper in her hand.
Flash back
Tammy and Brittney walked out of their Math class. Brittney reached in her locker to get her Science book and homework.
"Oh, I can't stand this math homework! It feels like it's rotting my brain more than helping me learn!"
Tammy stood putting on her cherry lip gloss on and replied
"I know what you mean. It's not like we are going to use it in our daily lives, so what's the use?"
Tammy put the top onto her lip gloss and opened her locker to get her books for next class.
"Hey, how's the essay going for Grammer? I know you got Jeanette to help you with it."
Brittney finish putting her books in her bag and pulled out her essay.
"It's going great! I had to get Jeanette to help me with it because it counts as half our grade and if I fail, Miss Miller will kill me! She already grounded me for my grade and I don't want it to happen again, I have a life you know! I spent two weeks non-stop working on it.
Brittney handed her essay to Tammy.
"Here tell me what you think."
Tammy took her essay and started to scan it. After a few minutes she looked up.
"Brittney, this is great! You are defently going to pass and your done a week early!"
Tammy handed her back the essay.
" I really like the pink typing and the sent to it too!"
Brittney took her essay back.
"Thank you. I thought it added an "extra" something to it!"
Tammy looked at the clock across from them.
"Oh no, we are going to be late for class! Brit, we need to run!"
"OK - just let me put my essay back in my locker."
"Brittney, we have NO time. You can put it in your backpack when we get to class!"
Before Brittney could speak Tammy grabbed her hand and ran toward their next class. As they turned turned around the corner, Brittney felt a cool wet splash hit her head and traveled down her body. She looked quickly at her essay in her hand to make sure it was OK. But instead it was wet to the brim. Brittney looked up and her face turned red.
"ALVIN! Look at what you did! You RUINED my essay report! Do YOU know how long it took me to work on this!"
Brittney got closer to Alvin after he got down the latter he was on and grabbed his shirt.
"Not only that, you've ruined my 300 dollar shirt!"
"Brittney, I'm sorry I thought you were someone else. Please let go, you're choking me!"
Brittney let go of Alvin.
"Brittney, I thought you were Ethan. He made fun of Theo again because of his weight and I wanted to get him back."
"That still doesn't help me with this essay!! It took me TWO WEEKS to write this and we only have a week till it is due!'
"OK you two, that's enough. I want you three in my office now."
Brittney looked up to see Mr. Talbot. She and Tammy grabbed their stuff and pushed through the crowd of people that had gathered around.
End of Flash back
Brittney sobbed in her hands. Not only did she have to re-write her essay in a week, Alvin had to help her! She tried to convince Mr. Talbot that she could manage on her own, but he insisted that they both would help each other with their essays or they would both fail.
Brittney looked up and dried her face. She went to her desk and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. She sat down and turned on the lamp that sat on her desk. She tried to read the smudged ink on the paper, but it was no use. She threw her essay in the trash and got up to take a shower.
When she got out, she put on a baby pink and white checkered pare of pajama pants and a baby pink tank top. After she got dressed she went to the bathroom and blew dry her hair.
Brittney walked down the stairs into the kitchen to see Eleanor cooking dinner.
"Hey Elli, where's Miss Miller and Jeanette?"
Eleanor looked up from the steak she was cooking and replied
"Ms. Miller went to a recording meeting with Dave and Simon took Jeanette out to a movie. Alvin and Theodore are going to come over until they are done with their meeting. Oh, and they are joining us for dinner."
Brittney sat down at the table and groaned.
"What's wrong Brit? I thought you would be kinda excited because you and Alvin could work on your essays.
"That's the last thing I need on this stressful day! I've had enough of Alvin today! All I need is him coming over and making it worse!
"Brittney, it won't be that bad. You guys really should stop acting immature, you're 16 years old for heaven sakes!
"Brittney stood up. Immature?! If ANYONE is acting immature, it's Alvin. He's the one that dumped the water on Tammy and I!
Eleanor rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, what about last week when you and Alvin pulled the fire alarm to get out of your history test?"
Brittney struggled to explain while Eleanor stood there with her arms crossed and a smile on her face.
"FINE! OK! So, I go to some trouble to get out of a test I didn't have time to study for, so what?"
Eleanor took the steaks off the burner and placed them on a plate.
"That's because you spent your whole week with Tammy or shopping! Even though it was Thanksgiving Break doesn't mean you don't have to do your homework!
"Elli, can we PLEASE change the subject!"
Eleanor turned around.
"Fine. Can you set the table for four people while I put together the salad?"
Britteny walked over to the cupboard, trying to cool down so she wouldn't explode when the boys came over. She reached and pulled out all the dishes she needed and set them on the table. Then she placed Coke, Apple Juice and water in the middle. As soon as they were done setting up, Alvin and Theodore arrived.
Theodore walked up to Eleanor and gave her a hug.
"Oh, Elli, it smells wonderful in here!"
"Of thank you Theo! We just got done setting up, so we can all eat now!"
Everyone gathered around the table and started to dish themselves. Theodore and Eleanor were talking up a storm while Alvin and Brittney sat quietly ignoring each other. Finally, Theodore spoke up.
"Brittney, Miss Miller and Dave said that you two are not allowed to do anything else tonight except work on your essays till they get back."
Brittney picked at a piece of broccoli on her plate.
"Just what I need to finish my day!"
She got so made she accidentally flung her broccoli across the room.
Alvin signed.
"Brittney, I TOLD you I didn't mean to dump that water on you and Tammy!"
Brittney stood up.
"That still doesn't help my essay Alvin!"
Brittney ran up the stairs trying to hold back the tears.
Alvin stood up and yelled
"Fine, be that way!"
He looked over to Theodore and Eleanor.
"Why is she so mad? It's not the end of the world, we can always re-write it! Gees!"
Eleanor stood up.
"Alvin she worked really hard to get a good grade, harder than she ever has in school. Plus I think she might -
Brittney yelled over the stair case.
"You can help me with my essay because we have no other choice, but other than that, I"M NOT TALKING TO YOU!"
