Chapter 24
"Sapphire? Can you tell us why you act so badly in school?" Leo asked.
"I don't want to go." I answered truthfully.
"Well, that was easy." Donny said.
"You have to stop acting badly. Otherwise, you'll get more and more homework everynight." Leo said.
"Then I just don't do the homework." I replied.
"Smart kid." Donny said.
"Shut up..." Leo said. "You have to stop it!"
"What will I get if I do?" I asked.
"Do we always have to bribe her on everything?" Leo asked.
"Yep." Donny answered.
"Anything you want!" Leo said.
"Anything?" I asked again with a smile.
"Anything. You name it."
"Not to go to school anymore."
"Nice going." Donny said.
"How can you stop acting badly in school if you don't go anymore?" Leo asked.
"Who said that I wasn't going to start acting badly here?" I asked.
"Uh, oh..." Donny looked at Leo.
"What does that mean?" Leo asked.
"It means, that if I stay in school, I'll act badly there, but if I quit school, I'll act badly here."
"What do you want? Wrecked house, or more homework?" Donny asked.
"More homework." Leo answered.
