1Chapter45- D- To C
Nick sat alone in the back of English class. He reread the old parenting book that Kevin had picked up for him as a joke. Nick actually took it rather seriously. He was now reading the book for the third time. In all honestly the book was extremely boring. However he had let it slip to Kaleigh that he had the book. So now Kaleigh also read it and quizzed Nick on it every so often.
Nick sighed as he glanced at the clock. School was just too boring now. His only friend was Connor, now that Kaleigh was being home schooled. He also had Lizzie and Arya and Sophia but it was awkward being alone with any of them aside for Lizzie. Normally Arya and Sophia would ask about Kaleigh. Although Sophia was still staying with Kaleigh, she hardly saw her since Sophia stayed in the guest bedroom while Kaleigh remained in her room almost all day and all night.
Nick's grades weren't exactly hanging-up-on-the-refrigerator-worthy. So he basically just walked through school and sat through the endless classes. Nick's school day was just beginning since English was his first class. He longed to jump out the window and run home. However, he knew Kevin would probably scream at him.
Speaking of Kevin while Nick was at school, Kevin got a call from his school. Kevin was called from the principal to discuss Nick's grades. So Kevin had to go down to Nick's school. Kevin walked through the doors of the principal's office, "What did he do," asked Kevin out of breath.
"Mr. Jonas," said the principal, "this time you're not here because your brother is in trouble."
Kevin laughed, "that's a good one, where are the camera's," he looked around, "am I being Punk'd?"
"No, we have to talk about his grades," said the principal.
Kevin immediately stopped looking for camera's and took a seat.
"Now," said the principal, "report cards are going out this weekend and you should be... prepared with what is going to be received in the mail this Saturday."
Kevin nodded.
"His grades go as follows:
English- D
American History- D-
Health- D..."
"D," yelled Kevin, "he should be acing that class, he only got his girlfriend preg- please continue."
"Science- D+
Math-D
Gym-D-..."
"D-, he's only the strongest kid in his grade, broke someone's nose just with one punch, continue," Kevin interrupted.
The principal continued, "Spanish- C, and that's it."
"I cannot believe this," said Kevin in shock.
"As you must understand-" the principal began.
"My brother got a C," he exclaimed in excitement.
"Well that's not why we called you here," said the principal, "we think he needs a tutor."
"Hello," said Kevin, "he got a C, coming form Nick it's like an A+."
"Well we'd like to get him receiving actual A+'s ," suggested the principal.
"Right," said Kevin, "that would be nice."
"So we are assigning him the best student in the grade as his tutor," said the principal.
Kevin nodded, "and who might that be?"
"Elizabeth Jayten," said the principal.
"Lizzie," Kevin asked in shock, "Lizzie?"
"You know her," asked the principal delightedly.
"Ugh... yeah," said Kevin, "she's a... friend of the family."
"Then you should make preparations about the tutoring immediately," said the principal happily, "that will just make my job a lot less difficult.
"Yeah... sure..."said Kevin, "that'll be great," he bit his lip, "can't wait to tell them."
"Then I think that's all we need to discuss," said the principal, "have a nice day Mr. Jonas."
"You too," said Kevin as he waked out of the principal's office.
Nick finally arrived back at Kevin's apartment. "You," said Kevin, "sit- now."
Nick obeyed.
"I got a call from the principal today," Kevin said.
"If it was about that kid that got locked in that locker I swear I did not do it," said Nick in defense.
"You did what," asked Kevin angrily.
"It was just Connor," Nick put his head down,"I swear he was the only one I did that to."
"I'm glad you're not my friend," said Kevin, "it was about your grades."
"How long am I grounded for," asked Nick.
"You got a C," said Kevin.
"Really," Nick exclaimed, "oh my god I'm so happy."
"Yeah, I'm so proud of you," Kevin high-fived him.
"So why are you angry," asked Nick.
"Oh, yeah," said Kevin, "Lizzie is kind of your tutor."
Nick laughed, "yeah right."
"She was assigned to you," said Kevin angrily, "I have not control over it."
"This sucks," said Nick, "I mean she's gonna make me feel so stupid."
"I'm gonna ask Leslie to marry me,"said Kevin.
"Random," said Nick eating a chip.
"I'm gonna do it," said Kevin.
"Do what," asked Nick, "I'm confused."
"I'm gonna ask her to marry me," said Kevin.
"Now,"asked Nick.
"No, at dinner tonight you dipshit," said Kevin.
