The phone rang and Sharon answered it.

"Hello?" she asked lazily.

"Sharon? Its Maria, what's wrong?" Sharon rolled over from her back to her stomach.

"What do you mean what's wrong? We have another week of school, you heard Mr. Thompson. This is just what I need. At least I'll have you and Conner with me," Sharon said in an angry voice.

"Well, that's why im calling. I called to say goodbye." Sharon sat up.

"What do you mean goodbye?"

"Im going to Europe with my family. It's a family vaction thing," Maria fumbled with her words, "but Conner will be with you!" Sharon sighed.

"You know, its really rude to call someone and flaunt about how you are going away while your best friend is stuck here!" Sharon screamed.

"Down tiger, I was just calling to say goodbye." Sharon shook her head.

"Im sorry Maria, Its just the heat," Sharon said getting up and turing the air on.

"Right, well, see you later," Maria said.

"Yeah, way later," Sharon hung up the phone groaning again.

"SHARON! DINNER!" Her mom yelled from downstairs. Sharon rolled onto her side and groaned. She looked at her clock.

"Seven O Clock," Sharon said, closing her eyes again. "SEVEN O CLOCK?" She jumped out of bed. Had she really been asleep all that time? She couldn't have, she still had three hours worth of homework to do.

"CANT EAT NOW MOM!" Sharon yelled to her mom. She took out a pile of books and began with Algebra. About three hours later, Sharon was asleep. But she wasn't done with her homework. Adam walked past her room and stopped in the door way.

"Sharon?" he asked walking into her room. Sharon was sound asleep. Adam shrugged and turned out her light. "Night night," he said.

The sun came up and Sharon fell out of her chair. She rubbed her head.

"I feel like I slept on a cactus," she said looking at the chair. She rolled over on the ground and went to sleep again.at 9:00 in the moring.
