The next day, Catty went over to Serena's house to study. Before she could knock on the door, Stanton swung it open. "Why on earth are you here?" Catty asked while entering the Spanish style house.
"Serena thought she would need help tutoring you so she called me up and I came, Dumb-dumb," Stanton said, going into the kitchen to get Serena. "Serena," Stanton yelled, "Dumb-dumb's here!"
"Would you stop calling me 'Dumb-dumb'? It's annoying," Catty said angrily, wondering how Stanton could possibly help.
Stanton turned toward Catty and said, answering her thoughts, "Cause unlike you, I am actually smart enough to pass an exam, with or without studying."
Before Catty could fight back, Serena walked into the room, carrying books. "OK Catty, let's get this over with. I am doing this out of the goodness of my heart," with that, Serena held out her hand, moving her fingers up and down.
Catty reached down in her purse, and pulled out the money she was supposed to give her. "I'll give you half now and the rest when we're finished. Deal?" She held out her hand for Serena to shake.
"Deal," She said, taking Catty's hand.
So," Stanton said teasingly, "what did you fail exactly, Stupid?"
"First of all," Caty said, defending herself, "the exams have more than one lesson on them, so if you fail, you fail on fractions, square roots, graphs, ect. and secondly, if you call me another smart-allic name one more time, I am going to kick your ass and your going to wish you never met me!"
"To late," Stanton whispered to Serena who was getting annoyed by their bickering.
"Would you both do me a favor and just shut up for one second?" Serena yelled, making both Stanton and Catty look at her with wide eyes. "Thank you, so, let's get to the lesson, shall we?"
