Chapter Twenty Five – The Unbelievable

"All A+'s." Taranee commented, with a smile. There were no congratulations, although. Her report card always were full of A's and wonderful comments from teachers.

"Only Two B's, the rest A's." Hay Lin said, reading her report card. "One in Math and one is History."

"That is wonderful. I got straight A's as usual." Cornelia said, the corners of her glossed up lips twitched as she fought the urge to smirk.

Will sighed, as she stated glumly, "A D in History and a C in Math. I got a B in French. The rest are A's."

It was the typical report card for each individual girl's. At least for the ones attending the school.

"Did your mother make you a report card, Irma?" Taranee asked.

"Yea. I got Five A's," There was a gasp from the girls, "Two B's, and a C-." Irma said.

"Well this sucks. Now I have an even lower grade then Irma!" Will cried.

"How rude!" Irma sniffed. "So this must be the reason you sit there and encourage me NOT to get a tutor. You wish for me to get bad grades and give you a self esteem boost!"

"Well… no… Hey Taranee could you tutor me in Math and History?" Will asked, deliberately changing the subject. "If I don't hurry up and get my grades up, I won't have enough credits to graduate!"

"I am so sorry, Will. I am already being forced to tutor Uriah and… Err…" Taranee said, breaking off, and blushing.

"Nigel?" Cornelia asked, with a smirk.

"No… Promise not to tell anyone? It could ruin the poor man for life." Taranee said.

Irma rolled her eyes. "Sure whatever. Now spill."

"You know the new math teacher, Mr. Brickson?" Taranee said.

"Yea." Will said. "You are tutoring his son? Why couldn't he do it himself?"

Taranee flushed. "Not Ryan. I am tutoring Mr. Brickson."

There was silence for a moment, and then Irma burst out laughing. "You are teaching a TEACHER? My goodness. You must be smarter then we thought."

Taranee blushed. "Don't tell anyone. He wasn't supposed to be a math teacher. He wanted to be a gym coach, but there are already too many at our school."

"Don't worry, Taranee. We wouldn't dare ruin a teacher's career, purposely. Irma, although is a different matter." Cornelia said.

Irma gasped. "I have never been so insulted! I have only been in contact with you four and ya'lls men, how would I pass on this juicy bit a gossip?"

"What about Mitchell? You have been in contact with him too, have you not?" Cornelia asked, smugly.

It was Irma's turn to blush, but before she could create a snappy retort Will interrupted, to make up for her purposely making Irma fail.

"What about you Cornelia? Can you tutor me in History and Math?" Will asked, pleadingly. "My mom would KILL me if I couldn't graduate."

"Sorry, Will. I have barely enough time to do my homework after I ice skate and hang out with you lot." Cornelia said, in an almost sympathetic voice.

Will moaned. Hay Lin was busy enough, what with helping out at the Silver Dragon. The only one she could turn to now in the group was –

"I could tutor you." Irma suggested. "I got an A in History and a B in Math."

"Oh my god! Really?" Will asked, almost excitedly.

"Yea, I have a lot of free time; since I cannot do anything fun anyways." Irma said, shrugging. Hinting toward the reason, she glowered at the most obvious bulge on her stomach.

"Thank you so much Irma." Will said, giving her pregnant friend an awkward hug. Her darned stomach got in the way.

"So instead of going home everyday, we'll walk to my house. Anna doesn't want me going out a lot." Irma said, rolling her large, magnificently beautiful eyes.

Will nodded. "Starting tomorrow. I need to tell my mom first she shouldn't disagree with the fact I need a tutor…"

"Ack! It is 5:30! We have talked for over an hour!" Cornelia cried out, as she checked her new designer watch. The group immediately split up, Cornelia and Will going one way and the three younger going another way.

Soon Taranee left Irma and Hay Lin, leaving the two to chatter.

As they came to Irma's house, they exchanged goodbyes, and Irma entered her home.

Author Note – YAY! It is longer then usual. I hope you enjoyed it.

Also, now that people have been slightly upset about my 'Did I break a record?' when I finished my Harry in one day. Just imagine if you are a SLOW reader, and you were forced to not drink or eat sense breakfast, and some during the party. I had not had slept in more or less 48 hours in the end, because I got my book at midnight, the moment the book came out. Therefore, I had not slept sense the night before, and I get up early. It is amazing how many people can comment on that, and actually care, on whether or not I did or did not break a record. And truthfully, I don't believe those who read the books in three hours. My friend is a FAST reader, and did not finish the book until an hour after I did. Of course she didn't deprive herself of anything… anyways I just need to get it out in the open, that you all are irking me with your rude, "OMFG, u totally didn't brake a record!111 I read it in two secs!" OK… sorry bout that.
