Chapter 25

.

Miranda was nervous. Today her school was handing out report cards. It was also Friday, students were suppossed to have them signed by a parent and brought back on Monday. Miranda believed she had done okay. Her previous two report cards were all A's and B's. Her mothers were both happy, they joked that they expected only A's and B's from now on. Bianca and Maggie would likely be happy as long as their children tried their best, but Miranda would hate to ruin her perfect streak. At lunch a boy named Kyle sat down next to Miranda. It looked like Kyle was going to ask Miranda on a date. He wasn't the first to ask, particularly since Bianca announced her candidacy. Other boys, and a few girls, had asked Miranda out, but none of them were the boy Miranda really wanted.

Kyle: Miranda, would you like to go to the movies tonight?

Miranda: I'm sorry Kyle, but I'm spending tonight with my family, and tomorrow night I have to study.

Kyle: Okay, that didn't work. I'd like to propose a business proposition. We kind of have a pool going on, who will be the first to kiss you. Ten bucks to get in, it's over two hundred now. If you let me say it's you, I'll split it with you.

Miranda: Really? Well, I have a message for anyone involved in the pool, "Go to Hell."
