Here is Chapter Ten XD

Violet and Bob sat awkwardly on the swings. The similar question running through their minds: What just happened? In each of the two minds their was a different answer to the question.

Violet had never ever heard of Becky getting a F on anything. Becky was usually so flawless when it came to homework especially. She hoped Becky wouldn't be too hard on herself. It was one grade after all.

Bob of course traced it all to last night. He knew WordGirl shouldn't have stayed up that late. When you are tired you take everything way too seriously. Well, he probably should go try to cheer her up.

"Cheep," Bob quickly jumped off the swing. He quickly motioned to Violet he was going to Becky.

Violet watched Bob perform the charades.

"Oh, you're going to Becky, ok." Violet giggled and watched Bob until he disappeared behind the playground equipment.

Violet then returned to swinging back forth. She was still worried about Becky. However, Bob usually had better lucky at cheering Becky up. Come to think of it he always had. Of course there was never anything wrong with that, but it always seemed Bob knew something about Becky that she didn't. It always made her wonder if there was something Becky was hiding. Nah! She wouldn't keep anything from her best friend.

Bob continued looking for Becky. Though, it didn't take him too long to find her.

"Tobey, look just because you got a A+ on your essay doesn't mean you have to make fun of mine!"

Well, Bob found her. You could tell that Becky was obviously upset. Though, she was definitely more angry then upset. Thanks to Tobey.

"As a boy genius, I have a right to rub my victory in your face!" A british accent sneered.

"Ok fine, whatever!" Becky growled.

Bob felt very awkward in the center of this dog fight. He decided to just go back to the swings.

As for Becky, she just couldn't catch a break today. This 'boy genius' was giving her a headache. She needed to think fast. Was there anyway she could get rid of him?

Tobey started talking again.

Ignoring everything he was saying, Becky started to ponder the unbelievable. Why would Tobey work so hard on a silly history essay?

There were lots of essays he wrote or refused to write in which he never tried hard. Why would he tried his very best on this essay? Thinking back to the history book, suddenly it hit her. The chapter was about the founding of the city. She tried her best to remember what the book was talking about. Last night was super hard on her. Then, it started to return to her.

The city was founded by Mayor Phil.. or something like that. Though, there was a problem in fair city. The city's gold was getting stolen. Who was predicted to steal the gold was none other then: Theodore "Thomas" McCalister! YES! She was onto something. But, was Thomas McCalister Tobey's great-great grandfather?!

If so that could only mean Tobey was related to a thief. This would explain why he did his best. Well Becky still didn't know if she was correct, but the idea was worth a throw at.

"So, Tobey what did you think about the chapter and its talk about Theodore "Thomas" McCalister?" Becky gave a sheepish smile.

"Um…" Tobey contemplated if he should answer the question. He knew Becky to be less equal then he, but she did have a mind of her own.

"What is that to you?" He tried to make it seem as if he thought nothing of the chapter. Though, his masquerade was easily seen through.

"Oh, nothing Tobey…except the fact that it seems Theodore "Thomas" McCalister is one of your past relatives." Becky threw that out their rather harsh. Well anything to get him to stop talking.

Awkward Silence.

Tobey felt his face get hot. Did she just figure him out? No, he would bury this to protect his family.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Tobey brushed off the statement.

Ha, now Becky knew she had gotten somewhere.

"I think you do considering the fact you just got a A+ on your history report." Becky could see Tobey get a little shaken.

Yep, Becky had definitely got him there.

Tobey just stood silent.

As much as Becky wanted to leave it at that, she didn't. Tobey's eyes really said it all.

"You are related to him aren't you?" Becky said with confidence.

Tobey looked down at the ground. Lots of things were running through his mind. Though, the main thing he couldn't stop thinking about was what would Becky say next. His face had said it all, it was true.

"You're related to a thief." Becky said out of disbelief. Though, it did make kind of sense, right? She really just couldn't believe this. Her small little theory really made a big difference. In fact, perhaps too much so.

"NO!" Tobey reacted in an angry shout causing Becky to nervously jump.

It wasn't true! He knew it was just a lie! His father wouldn't tell him a lie. The boy was hurt by this so called 'mild mannered' girl. He quickly turned around and decided he need to leave NOW. He started to walk away from Becky.

Though, something caused him to stop. The boy genius knew he had come to Becky to apologize, but the words 'sorry' never wanted to leave his mouth. But, he really did hate to see her upset earlier. There was a sicking feeling that overtook him. He growled under his breath.

Becky watched as Tobey started to leave, but stopped. She could tell she really hurt his feelings. Honestly, Becky wished she had reconsidered bring up the hard topic despite how annoying Tobey was. Becky watched and wondered why Tobey stopped.

Tobey quickly turned around.

There was another awkward pause and just like that it ended.

"Becky, I'm sorry! I am sorry I got angry at you earlier and for bothering you. I talked to Mrs. Davis on behalf of your essay. She said you can rewrite it and she will excuse your other grade. Good..Bye!

Tobey ran off.

Becky mouth dropped. She stood in pure shock and shame.

Though, that was when another surprise happened. Something was being picked up with her super hearing.

"HEELLLPP!"

TeeHee! Anywho, so hope you guys enjoyed this. Sorry for the long wait. Please R&R if you want XD God Bless
