Blade popped her gum angrily.

"Sometimes they can be so stupid." she snapped.

"Yeah. I gotta agree with you on that one." said a voice from the doorway.

"BRICK?!? Have you heard of knocking?" exclaimed Blade.

"There you go getting mad again." said Brick.

"I wouldn't be if it wasn't for our brothers." said Blade.

"Man. You're always mad." said Brick.

"Not always." muttered Blade.

"Not always?! Name one time you weren't mad." challenged Brick.

Blade didn't answer.

"I rest my case. You probably don't even know what being nice means." said Brick.

"Yeah I do." said Blade.

"Oh yeah?" asked Brick.

"Yeah." answered Blade.

"Oh yeah?!" asked Brick.

"Yeah!" said Blade.

"OH YEAH?!?!?!" shouted Brick.

"YEAH!!!!!!!" screamed Blade.

"Prove it!!"said Brick.

"Okay. How?" asked Blade.

"I bet that you can't be nice for two whole weeks. That means you can't get mad about anything." said Brick.

"What's in it for me?" asked Blade.

Brick glanced at the catalogue Blade was looking at.

"If you win, me and the guys will get you that snowboard you want so much." he started.

"Shut-up!! You're actually serious? You're not pulling my leg?" asked Blade a grin spreading across her face.

"Yeah. When have I ever lied to you?" said Brick.

"Well there was that time..." Blade began.

"Don't answer that question." said Brick.

Blade shot him a skeptical smile.

"But. If I win, me and the guys get to go through your stuff box." said Brick.

Blade gasped. All of her secret stuff was in that box: her diary, her dolls, her stuffed animals, but most of all, her teddy bear (go figure).

"I'll understand if you're too chicken to take the bet." said Brick.

"I'm not chicken. Umm..... You're on." said Blade.

They shook hands.

"You guys better get the money for my board." said Blade.

"We'll see how long your gonna last." said Brick.

Brick left out of Blade's room.

On his way back to his room, he thought about the bet.

"This wasn't my plan, it'll do. And besides I bet Blade would've tried to kill me if I told her that I had signed her up for anger management. Oh well." he thought.

He flew into his room.
