. . . A Cinderella Story . . .
AN: Nuthin' t' say! (Now there's a first!)
Disclaimer: Nope . . . I don't really want to own Cinderella anyway...
Chapter 3:A present from John? She thinks...
When Bethany returned home, she ran upstairs to put away her kit back, went downstairs and sped
through the dishes.
"Step-Mother, Could I please go to the end of year dance? Please!" Bethany begged as she saw her
sister not trying to hide her snigger from the computer. "Please!" I really want to go!" I'll do extra
chores..." Her voice trailed off... There were no extra chores she did them all!
"No, You will not go, I will not rethink and you will not sit like a stupid young girl! Now go upstairs and
do your homework!"
Again Christina sneered as Bethany slowly trudged up the stairs and started her homework without
difficulty. It was a page of very easy math and in LA she was supposed to write a modern version of
the Cinderella story. "Well that can't be too hard!" She thought to herself sighing.
When she was done, she decided to go see her stepbrother but he wasn't in his room? She wondered
where he could be until she saw a 100 bill on the bed with a note on top. She looked at the note and
read it aloud to herself! (Duh!)
"For you Bethany. Use it well! (I know you will!)
Lot's of Love
She noticed that whoever put it there didn't sign it. She looked on the other side of the paper... nothing!
She read the letter over to see if she missed anything but she didn't. But it did have her name on it and
John was the sort of person to do that kind of thing... "Yes, it had to be John!" she thought to herself
happily.
That night a supper.
That night at supper, Bethany's stepmother announced,
"I will be chaperoning the dance that Christina and John will be going to."
Bethany smiled a small smile that no one noticed.
Making sure Bethany understood this, she continued.
And of course Bethany you will be staying and doing all the chores twice so that house will look extra
clean!
John looked down at his plate and ate slowly while Christina beamed as if Christmas had come early.
After supper when Bethany finished the dishes and the laundry she went to see her step-brother.
"John?" She whispered as she walked into John's room
Hey Beth!"
"Umm, thank you for the money!"
"Uh... What money?"
" Well this afternoon I went to your room and there was a note on your bed for me and some money. I
assumed it was you...! It wasn't?"
"Uh... No... Actually it wasn't but whoever left it there it couldn't have been Christina or my mom! I'm
guessing it was probably for you though...!"
"Ya, ok, well seeya!" Bethany shut the door silently, and walked back to her room thinking it over...
She jumped on her bed, really tired from the days chores. " I wonder who left it there... thoughts like
these were floating in and out while she tried to stay conscience but finally she fell asleep dreamlessly.
