"You kids having fun," Michelle asked as she saw Pete and Jenny doing homework. It was a Friday night and Jenny was tutoring him in math.

"Yes mother," Pete said through clenched teeth. This was the fourth time she came into the room and interrupted them. Jenny smiled.

"I'm sorry," Michelle said and started to leave, "I'm going to the store. You kids want anything?"

"NO," Pete replied.

"What about you Jenny?"

"No thank you."

Michelle smiled, "You should teach Pete some manners, also. Bye." With that, she left.

"I still don't understand how to do this," Pete said.

"OK," Jenny said writing down the problem once more and started to explain it step by step. "OK P equals twenty one plus two "w". You have to cancel the 2 "w" by subtracting it from each side. From the 2 "w" and the "P" then you write the problem as it sounds I guess. Like P minus 2 "w" equals twenty one. You divide both sides by two and it equals-"

"What's up kids," Chris asked walking into the room. Pete sighed once more and Jenny put her head down. Chris put his hands up and surrendered, walking backwards, "Forget I even came…"

"Um, how about we do this some other time," Jenny asked Pete looking at her watch. "It's getting late and I have to go."

"Alright," Pete said as he started to gather up his books.

"Mmhmm, bye."

"You need me to walk you to your door?"

She smiled, "I live next door… I think I'll manage."

"Ma, I'm home," Jenny called entering her house. "Why bother?" She walked over to the kitchen counter and found just what she expected. A note telling her that her parents were at the store. "Why are they always gone? Old people these days." She heard the doorbell ring and went to pick it up. She opened the door and saw Pete.

"Hey what's up," she asked.

He took his hand out from behind him and held out a notebook, "You forgot this."

She took the book from his hand and held it close to her, "Thanks. Oh!" She moved back, noticing he was standing uncomfortably in the doorway, "Come in!" She smiled. "My parents are out."

"So you're sister coming soon," he asked.

"Couple more weeks," she sighed. "Then BOOM!" Pete jumped back, "I'm sorry."

"It's ok. You think you're going to be a good sister? Or are you going to make her life a living hell?"

"I'm not sure. I mean, I've never had a sister before. You know. So how am I supposed to know what to do?"

"Yeah, but think of the good things you can do."

She looked over at him with a strange look on her face, "Like…?"

He shrugged, "I don't know. But it sounded nice, right?"

"Yeah, real smooth."

"I can not believe that you choose to hang out with her instead of us." Joe and Marty looked over at him. They were all smoking in the schoolyard and were looking over at all the kids.

"For real, Pete," Brianna glared, "At least have some taste."

"Please girl," Brian smirked, "She is fine. It's just that she's a goody-goody. She a book hugging, honk if you love straight A's type of girl."

Joe joined in their conversation, "Yeah Bri, you're just mad cause he ain't yours anymore."

"No one asked for your opinion ass-wipe," Brianna jeered at him. "This is an A and B conversation-"

"See yourself out," Joe finished for her.

"Man, you're a loser." Pete laughed, looking at Joe. "You even diss yourself out."

"Yeah well at least I'm not dating a loser," Joe retorted. The rest of them laughed at Pete.

"Yeah well she's more fun than any of you." Pete threw his cigarette on the ground, gathered all his stuff together and left. "Peace."

"Pete, come on," Brian called after him. Joe moved closer but Brian slapped him, "See what you did?!"

"OW!" Joe yelled putting his hands over his head, "That hurt!"

"Well when you slap somebody, it's supposed to," Marty replied.

As Jenny was putting her books into her locker after school, she felt a tap on her arm. She turned around and smiled when she saw Pete. "Hey!"

"What's up," he asked.

"Nothing, I was just going home to get ready for practice-" She started to walk past him.

He moved quickly in front of her, "Can we talk."

She held her wrist to her face to read the time, "Listen I'm going to be late. Can we-"

"I don't think we should hang out together anymore…"

"What?!"

"I just don't want to be seen with you anymore, ok?!"

"This is about your dumb friends, isn't it?"

"N-no," he lied. "I don't want to be seen with a goody-goody. A book holding, honk if your love straight A's person. Like you."

"You're a jerk," she hissed, and pushed him hard into the locker closest to him as possible. "Have fun with your 'FRIENDS'!"
