Chapter 3

"Now boys haven't I told you not to get into fights. What would your mother think of you?"

"But father Brains was seriously getting his ass kicked. We had to help." Scott reasoned a black eye starting to form. Jeff turned around and looked at his son.

"What about this L'Oreal girl. Where does she come into the picture?"

"Well father she was the one that stopped the whole thing. She just said one word, and they all stopped." Virgil said and pulled a hotdog out of the pot. He was going through a growing spurt, so his hunger had grown.

"Well I'm glad no one was seriously hurt. Now go take a shower and get ready for bed." Alan came running into the kitchen. Jeff continued to read his newspaper.

"Father.Father. The news just said that there is an Hurricane coming for us." Alan said Jeff peeped over his newspaper at his son.

"It's highly unlikely."

"Not really Mr. Uh Tracy. I-If the wind pressure is correct, A-And the uh." Brains walked in a backpack on his shoulder.

"Alright kid we get the point we don't need the full story." Jeff said and closed his book.

"Now you and Scott go study. I'll be grading your work."

"Great dad.that way we know if we did it wrong and we get the work done for us." Gordon said as he walked in.

"Hey Brain-o how's it going." He finished as Brains accepted a coke from Scott.

"H-Hello Gordon." Brains voice sqeecked from his voice changing. A knock came to the door. Gordon walked out of the kitchen to see John open the door.

"Oh hello John do you live here." L'Oreal stood in the doorway her arms filled with files.

"Yeah, So um what are those?"

"Oh my dad told me to give these papers to your dad."

" Come in then." John said L'Oreal walked in and smiled at Gordon and continued to walk. John led her into the kitchen. Jeff raised an eyebrow as he looked at the girl.

"Hello Mr. Tracy.I'm uh Fredrick Fitzgerald's daughter. He told me to give you these." She handed him the documents and smiled. Brains stood over in the corner she noticed him and smiled if possible bigger.

"Hi L'Oreal."

"L'Oreal.L'Oreal the one that stopped the fight at school." Everyone nodded Jeff narrowed his eyes.

"Mr. Uh Tracy. It was my fault the fight got as far." Jeff held up one hand to silence the young man.

"That was a very brave thing you did today L'Oreal.Very brave." He girl blushed and began to twist her hair in one hand and stroked it with the other.

"Thank you sir.
