. . .A Cinderella Story . . .

AN: uh... I'm editing all my work... blah.. But it won't be very different from the original just shorter
an's maybe and fewer mistakes . . .
This is just a school project I had to do and uh... fer the odd person wondering I got 16/20 and only
lost points on spelling and grammar!
(Ps: names are changed a bit since it had to be a modernized Cinderella story... like the movie only I
don't like the movie!)

Disclaimer: Do u have to put these in every single chapter in every single fanfiction? Do you really think
people are gonna come after you becuzz u but something on a site that clearly...or not so clearly states
we don't get any money for this? Fine, I don't own Cinderella, I think Disney does I'm not all that sure,
I haven't watched the movie in a long time! And whoever own's A Cinderella Story, it's not me!

Chapter 1:Typical

"Could I please use the computer? Please?" Bethany asked her Step-Mother, but she knew the
answer.

"No, God No, Who knows what you would do to the computer! And besides, you still have to do the
dishes and clean your step-siblings' rooms along with the laundry! Then maybe I'll consider giving you
some dessert!"

Bethany didn't reply and went into the kitchen watching her Step-Sister, playing the newest computer
game, while chatting to her so called friends... er followers...

"Having fun with the dishes Bethany?" Cristina retorted without looking away from the screen.

" Oh yes, I'm having a blast! And afterwards, guess what, I get to clean your disgusting room!" Bethany
replied sarcastically!

"Mom!" Cristina, yelled, "Bethany was talking back to me! Ground her or something. PLEASE!"

"Bethany, you're grounded for a week after your last grounding's over and don't you ever talk to my
daughter that way again!"

"Yes,Step-Mother." Bethany said rolling her eyes while her Step-Mother and sister weren't looking.
She always suppose to say Step-Mom, because according to her Step-Mother, she would hate it if
people thought that she was her daughter, but Bethany didn't mind because she didn't like her being
her(step-) daughter anyway.

Bethany finished the dishes and wondered why she was never able to use the dish washer. What was
the point if they were gonna use it and let her do all the work?
'Probably just to make fun of me.' Bethany thought as she sighed and put the last dish on the rack to
dry.

She went upstairs to start on her Step-Sister's room which was huge compared to hers, and Christina
never kept it cleaning finding the fact that Bethany had to clean it very amusing to her.

Bethany spent a good 6 hours cleaning Christina's room and when she was done it was already 5:00pm, and Christina was complaining about needing to get ready for a party so Bethany had to hurry up or get grounded even longer. It didn't really matter to her because she never really had anywhere to
go having a bad reputation made by Christina as a rat... But she really liked the park in the Spring because
everything was colourful and "renewing". This probably made the 4th week she was grounded in a row...

She was glad, when she finished Christina's room, that she didn't have to do her step-brother John's
room, he always kept his room clean since he felt bad for Beth and he was naturally neat but sometimes
she hated him for not doing anything else about his mom. She went to his room anyway since she had to
collect the laundry which John was not aloud to do.

"Hey John!" Beth said as she opened the door but noticed he probably couldn't hear her since he had
his headphones on, lying on the bed reading a book. "The First Stone" to be exact.

"Is it a good book?" Bethany asked taking the head phones off of his ears.(He was listening to some
odd rock/metal w/e kinda music.)

"Hey, Beth," he replied not looking away from the book,"nice plot but the story isn't as interesting as
you think it'd be!"

"Right, I'll try it when you're done." There was 2 things Beth and John had in common and that was
music and books after that they pretty much opposite. Bethany went to pick up the laundry, and John
gave her a sad look, and said sorry. She replied that was ok and left the room.

Chapter 1

Disclaimer 2: I don't own the book "The First Stone" but it is a good book! And the song John's
listenin' use to be Hurricane by Something Corporate but I don't really like that song very much right
now... But it is a good song so go listen to it!

A/N: First off sorry the chapter's short but I think they get longer... "The First Stone" is a book I just read by an author by the name of Don Aker... Like my character
John said The plot is really good. A guy likes throwing rocks since it calms him down and his grand
parents and parents are dead. He's moves from one group home to another. One day he throws one
rock over the overpass and it hits a car getting the girl who was driving, sent to the hospital with
serious injuries and massive damages to her car. Since the guy is a young offender the public don't
know his name(this is important later), This guy doesn't care at all for what he did and so the judge puts
him in a correction facility sort of thing and he has to help at a recovery centre. He happens to meet a girl and he really likes
helping her out, and she really likes his company. He learns a lot of new things along the way .etc. Till
one day... and I won't say the rest cuzz from what I've written I'm pretty sure you can tell but you
should really read it! It doesn't really get good till about the middle of the book but all the same I say
9/10!
(PS: Sry fer the long AN...)
