Chapter 8: Bad Grades Part 3
"You passed?" Nagisa smiled and hugged her daughter. "Oh, honey, we're so proud of you!"
Tomoya hugged them. "We really are, Ushio. You proved that you can hang out with your friends and get your homework done too. Good job!"
Ushio smiled guiltily in her parent's embrace. "Heh, yeah, thanks..."
Ushio couldn't sleep that night. She just kept tossing and turning.
'Why did I lie to them like that?' Ushio thought. 'I got lucky that they didn't want to see the paper...what am I going to do?'
Tomoya woke up early that morning. He didn't know why, he just did. He climbed out of his and Nagisa's bed and walked into the main room. He made himself some tea and sat at the table. He sat a paper sticking out of Ushio's school bag. He stood up and started to put the paper back into the school bag when he saw an interesting grade on the paper.
Nagisa examined the paper. "I can't believe she lied to us..."
"I know. And she thought that she could keep this from us, too." Tomoya added.
Ushio walked into the main room wearing her school uniform just like any other school day.
"Good morning, Ushio. You're up early today." Nagisa said.
"Yeah, I guess..." Ushio said. She still felt really bad about yesterday.
"Ushio, we have something that we would like to discuss with you." Nagisa said.
"You do?" she sat at the table.
"Yes. And it has to do with this-" she gave the paper to Ushio.
Ushio looked at the paper. This paper was way too familiar.
Ushio immedietly started to explain what happened, very fast. "Look, I didn't want to lie, I just didn't want to make you guys upset-"
Tomoya interrupted her. "We are upset. But not just because of the test."
Ushio looked at him sadly.
"We're more upset that you lied to us." Nagisa said.
"I know, and I'm really, really sorry, but-" Ushio was cut off again.
"You're still going to be punished." Tomoya said. "No more going to your friend's house, even when you're done your homework-"
"But-"
"-And you're going to continue working at the bakery after your homework is done-"
"But, Daddy-"
"-and you're going to do the dishes after meals for three days. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Daddy..."
So it was settled. Ushio did those things everyday after school for about a month. She learned her lesson and has been getting As and rarely Bs, just like before.
