Chapter 21
"I'M HOME! AND YOU BETTER HAVE MY CANDY AND EVERYTHING!" I yelled.
"Don't worry. I have everything." Donny handed me a bag.
"Candy...20 bucks...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 stuffed giraffes. Very good...you got all of it."
Donny smiled. He was very proud of himself. Not for very lond, though.
"WHERE'S MY CONVERITABLE?"
"I told you! I'll get you one for your 16th birthday!"
"O-kkkkk..."
"Do you have any homework?"
"Yep."
"Do you need any help?"
"Nope."
"Ok, then...but if you do need any help, I'm down in the kitchen, ok?"
"Yep."
"Are you sure you don't need any help?"
"Yep."
"Let me check it when your done, ok?"
"Yep."
"Ok."
"Yep."
"You can go to your room, now."
"Yep."
Up in my room three hours later...
"Sapphire? How are you doing with your homework? Do you need any help? You've been up here a long time." Donny asked.
"I'm done..." My voice drifted away saying: I'm bored.
"Oh? Then can I check it?"
"There's no point."
"I know. You were raised by me...of course your smart...HEY! You don't have anything written down here! It's 6:00 and you didn't do your social studies homework, or science, or math, reading, Language, spanish! I thought you said you were done!"
"I am."
"Then how come you didn't write anything down. Or do one little, tiny math problem? Huh?"
"The deal was I go to school. Homework had nothing to do with it."
"But homework is school!"
"Homework wasn't part of the deal! Just going to school was!"
"Come on, wer're going to do all of this in the kitchen..."
