Chapter Six

"So do you actually go to these dance things?" Amber asked Freddy as the two of them walked into the classroom, with Joey lagging behind.

Freddy shrugged, "yeah."

Amber raised an eyebrow, "do you actually dance?"

Freddy rolled his eyes, "of course I don't dance."

"So what, you stand there like a lump in the corner?"

Freddy grinned, "no. I usually create some form of trouble."

"Of course," Amber chuckled, "your just Mr Rebel aren't you?"

Freddy winked.

"Alright class! Settle Down!" Mrs Fran called as she walked into the classroom, "I hope you've all completed your homework."

"Did you do it?" Amber whispered.

"Nope." Freddy replied.

"I would like to think that everyone has read the according chapters of their textbooks, as there shall be a multi choice quiz worth half your final grade next week. Keeping this in mind would anyone like to read their homework to the class?"

Summers hand shot up, causing Freddy to roll his eyes, and Amber to giggle.

"Yes, Summer." Mrs Fran prompted.

Amber sighed and slid down into her seat as Summer began to read from her notebook. There was nothing she hated more than hearing other peoples boring work. Amber picked up a pencil and began to doodle in her notebook, allowing her brain to delve into thoughts of the up and coming dance. She had never been to one before, so she didn't exactly know what would be going on.

Amber blinked as she vaguely recalled Summer claiming that all the teachers would be there. Amber rolled her eyes, what fun this was going to be. But then... Amber looked over at Freddy who was reclined back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling, then swung her gaze to Mrs Fran. Amber's eyes widened as an idea hit her.

Amber seized a pencil and paper and scribbled a note.

I have an idea, for you to pass.

Before passing it across the aisle to Freddy. Freddy opened it and read it before looking at her in confusion.

Amber grinned and shifted excitedly in her seat, she was a genius.

"Amber what is going on?" Freddy asked in annoyance as Amber pulled him across the playground by the hand.

"I can't tell you here, someone might hear me," Amber replied as she pulled Freddy behind a clump of trees.

Freddy looked at her, "this is really tacky."

"Shut up. Look I have a fantastic idea of how to get you to pass next weeks test."

Freddy frowned, "how?"

Amber smiled, "quite simple really, we just steal the answers from Mrs Fran's office, copy em down, memories them, and presto you've passed the quiz."

Freddy looked at her as if she was insane, "Amber... can you think rationally about that for a second. How are we meant to steal the answers from Mrs Fran's office, and more importantly when? She's always in there, and when she's not the doors locked." Freddy pointed out.

"Yeah, but all the teachers will be at the dance this Friday night. It's the perfect time to do it!" Amber replied patiently.

"How about the lock on the door?"

Amber paused thoughtfully, "well... I haven't really figured that part out yet, but it's only a matter of time."

Freddy looked at her incredulously.

"Come on Freddy, every good plan has a flaw!" Amber exclaimed throwing her hands up, "besides the flaw is what makes it exciting. You said yourself you like to cause trouble at the dances... and you will be causing trouble, plus you pass the quiz, I get to stop tutoring you, and maybe I'll even get expelled in the process... everyone wins!"

Freddy paused, "you want to get expelled?"

Amber sighed and ignored him, "look are you in or not?"

Freddy shrugged, "sure I'm in."
