Pass or Fail?

Arden was walking in to the gymnasium of her school when she heard countless sounds.
"Presenting: the new class president off 1897 thru 1898 school year!" exclaimed a voice. Arden was looking all around.
"That voice sounds like Hunter," she muttered. Suddenly, Hunter came out of nowhere dribbling a basketball and throwing it in to a basket ball hoop.
"He shoots, heh, heh, he scores," he said looking at Arden.
"I've heard about basketball. They say it was invented a few years ago in America," explained Arden.
"Yep, and now London is being given a try at it. Well anyway, I've been elected school president for the 1897-1898 school year," replied Hunter.
"Well I'm sure you're going to have a good rest of the year," returned Arden. Hunter moved closer to Arden.
"Does it have anything to do with dating a cute cheerleader?" asked Hunter.
"Hunter, this is real life not fantasy," replied Arden. Hunter shrugged.
"It could happen," returned Hunter.
"Yeah……good luck with that," replied Arden. She started walking away when Hunter touched her shoulder.
"What is it?" asked Arden.
"Well……there's this big exam coming up and if I fail it, I'll be kicked off the position of president and student council. Will you help me?" asked Hunter.
"Well……yes. I'd love to help you," replied Arden. Hunter smiled, shrieked, and jumped.
"Oh THANK YOU!" yelled Hunter. He hugged Arden's neck and kissed her cheek. After that, he hurried away leaving Arden behind. Arden touched her cheek and blushed. That night after school, Arden and Olivia were waiting for Hunter to come. Arden glanced at her pocket watch and looked back at Olivia.
"What is taking him so long?" asked Olivia. The two heard crashing and thumping. Arden and Olivia rushed outside and saw Hunter's shadow behind a board that was standing up. Arden and Olivia rushed up to it.
"Hunter is that you?" asked Arden.
"Yes," replied Hunter from behind the board.
"Are you alright?" asked Olivia.
"Yes but don't come back here," replied Hunter.
"Why?" asked Arden. She heard a certain noise. She suddenly felt disgusted.
"Uhh…why didn't you go before you left your house?" she asked.
"I didn't have to then," replied Hunter from the other side. He came out.
"I'm done," he said.
"Better be," muttered Arden.
"What?" asked Hunter.
"Nothing," replied Arden shooting a surprising look. Hunter grabbed Arden's arm.
"Well, let's get to work," returned Hunter. Everyone went in to the house and got to work.
"What are the subjects of your exam?" asked Arden.
"There's only one subject. It's Spanish," replied Hunter. Arden and Olivia went wide eyed.
"No problem, Hunter. You're in the presence to the queen of the Spanish language," returned Arden. "It just so happens that Julian, my blood relative father, taught me Spanish and I did "Excelente'!"
Hunter looked at her blankly.
"Huh?" asked Hunter.
"It means "excellent"," replied Arden.
"Let's start," she said.

2 hours later, Arden was getting really angry with Hunter. Arden put a test on Hunter to name everything Arden can find in Spanish. Hunter came back to Arden and Olivia after naming the last thing.
Okay, how did I do?" asked Hunter. Arden wrote on a blank sheet of white paper "Failure". Hunter went wide eyed.
"What?" asked Hunter. "What do you mean failure!" Arden gathered up the tools Hunter named in Spanish and began her review.
"Well let's see where you went wrong," she said with a disturbed look on her face. The first thing was a doll.
"Okay a doll is not…a rat," explained Arden showing Hunter the label that had a Spanish word on it.
"EEEEHHHH!" alarmed Olivia.
"Second item; a 19th century camera is not……a broken bottle," replied Arden showing Hunter the label that had a Spanish word on it.
"EEEEHHHH!" alarmed Olivia.
"Third item; a picture of Professor Ratigan that I drew is not……Hiram Flaversham," replied Arden showing Hunter the label that had a Spanish word on it.
"EEEEHHHH!" alarmed Olivia. Hunter turned to Olivia.
"WILL YOU PLEASE STOP THAT!" yelled Hunter. Olivia looked at him feeling agitated.
"Ehh……cranky," replied Olivia. Hunter looked back at Arden.
"I didn't get any right did I?" he asked.
"Yeah……not really," replied Arden. Suddenly Hiram appeared with a candle in his hand and with pajamas on.
"Arden and Olivia, you two should have been in bed an hour ago," he said.
"Sorry father, we are helping Hunter pass his Spanish exam tomorrow," replied Olivia. Hiram glanced at Arden and Olivia and then look at Hunter.
"Spanish……that's why you have been here all night?" he asked feeling disturbed.
"……yes……" replied Hunter. Hiram started speaking Spanish. "Sólo un fabricante de juguetes e incluso saben hablar español".

Afterwards, he jogged out of the room saying "Stupido, Stupido!" Hunter just stood there feeling lost.
"Huh?" asked Hunter. Arden scratched her head.
"Yeah um……father just said "I'm just a toymaker and I even know how to speak Spanish". Then, he walked out of the room saying "Stupid, stupid!" That's what he said," replied Arden. Hunter glared.
"Yeah…well, it's getting late. I…I'd better get home," returned Hunter.
"But Hunter," replied Olivia. Hunter didn't answer. He just went out the door and went home.

January 16, 1898

Arden was passing by the Spanish class when the teacher came by.
"Ola Senorita Arden," she said.
"Ola Senorita Ramona," replied Arden.
"I'm glad you'll be taking Spanish next year," returned Senorita Ramona. Senorita Ramona was a gray furred mouse with long black hair. She wore a green, white, red, and blue Mexican dress. She was an exchange teacher from Mexico (if you haven't noticed).
"Yes, hey about the test today……many Spanish students think that because of your hard tests, they might want to start French," replied Arden. Senorita Ramona gasped.
"Thank you for the information Arden," she returned. She suddenly zoomed away dropping a folder on the ground. Arden noticed it.
"Senorita Ramona wait! You forgot your……key to the Spanish exam!" alerted Arden. She gazed at it and ran away with it. She passed by Hunter and looked at him with a smile. Hunter turned around and gasped when he saw Arden smiling at him.
"Arden, what the heck do you want!" he asked. "I'm already under stress because of the exam today. If I don't pass this test, I probably won't even pass my grade level. You'll go on to your next level and I'll still be here in this grade level the second time. I don't know what to do."
Arden bowed her head.
"Hunter……I found the answers," she confessed.
"You did! Can I look at them?" asked Hunter.
"No," replied Arden.
"Right……why not?" asked Hunter.
"Because that would be cheating," replied Arden.
"So you're not even going to help your friend who is practically your boyfriend. After all we have been through?" asked Hunter.
"Right," replied Arden.
"Whatever……" returned Hunter walking away.
"Hunter wait," replied Arden. Hunter didn't answer.

Arden was walking by and then saw Hunter coming.
"Hey Hunter," she greeted. Hunter made no reply. Arden groaned and just stood there.
"Hunter wait!" she exclaimed. Hunter turned around with a glare.
"What?" he asked sharply.
"I'll give you the answers to the exams," replied Arden. Hunter's eyes widened.
"You will!" asked Hunter feeling excited.
"Yes," replied Arden. Arden took out a piece of paper and pen and started to number it from 1-50. She started writing the correct answers beside each number.
"Gosh Arden, from now on if you ever need anything I'll……find some one to do it. That's all I can do," returned Hunter. Arden folded the paper in to four quarters and handed it to Hunter. Hunter immediately walked away. He put the paper in his pocket for safe keeping. Suddenly Senorita Ramona came by.
"Senorita Arden," she greeted. Arden turned around and saw her there.
"Oh…hello," replied Arden.
"Listen Arden, I thought about what you said about students doing French. Being a Spanish teacher, I can not let that happen, so I decided to make a new exam with different answers," explained Senorita Ramona.
"Is it easier or harder?" asked Arden.
"Neither," replied Senorita Ramona. "But I did make the format the color aquamarine and I definitely think that's exciting to me!" She walked away smiling and giggling. Arden stomped her foot in frustration and thought for a moment. Suddenly she got and idea. She snapped her fingers and ran off.
When Hunter was in his Spanish class, outside the window Arden and her friend, Nathan, were outside dressed up as window wipers. They were in orange suits and gray caps.
"You don't think we're going to get in to Detention for this, do you?" asked Nathan.
"Of course not; we're thinking……expelled…… and suspension," replied Arden feeling discouraged. She looked in to the window and tapped. As she tapped the window, she felt something on her head. Nathan gasped.
"Nathan……please don't tell that there's a baby sparrow on the top of my head," whispered Arden. Nathan tapped on the bird.
"Fly away little birdie," he whispered. Arden looked at him.
"GO AWAY BIRD!" yelled Arden. The sparrow flew away. Nathan waved at the sparrow, but Arden just glared at him.
"Nathan, stay on the real subject here," demanded Arden feeling angered. Arden started to tap harder on the window. Hunter looked at the window and saw Arden and Nathan.
"Uh Senorita Ramona?" asked Hunter.
"Yes?" asked Senorita Ramona.
"Can I open the window?" he asked.
"Yes," replied Senorita Ramona. Hunter scurried toward the window.
"What are you doing?" he asked softly.
"Your teacher changed the exam," whispered Nathan. Hunter gasped.
"What?" he asked softly.
"Hunter, close the window," demanded Senorita Ramona. Hunter was about to close the door, but Arden had to say something else. Arden stuck her head in, but Arden's face got caught in the window. Arden tried to pull out.
"Nathan help me out please!" exclaimed Arden. Nathan wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her out. Arden groaned and, suddenly, Basil and Dawson came by.
"Nathan and Arden, what are you doing out here in orange suits ands gray hats?" asked Basil.
"We……are on safety patrol," fibbed Arden.
"We are?" asked Nathan. Arden shot a mean look at him.
"Oh……we are!" he exclaimed.
"Well then……have a good rest of the day," replied Dr. Dawson.
"Oh……thank you," returned Arden as she and Nathan got up to there feet.
"Is there anything we can do?" asked Basil.
"No!" exclaimed Nathan. Basil and Dawson twitched a little by there reply.
"Well then……good-bye," replied Dawson. "Oh and just a little reminder, we'll be dropping by today at your house today,"
"Why?" asked Arden.
"Remember, today is the toy donation," replied Basil.
"Oh right! Well, we'll see you there," returned Nathan as Basil and Dawson walked away. Arden glanced at them and looked back to see Hunter take his test.

January 19, 1898

Arden came in to the gym three days after the test and Hunter came in with a look that looked disappointed.
"Hunter how'd you do?" asked Arden. Hunter handed her his test results. Arden looked through it and cheered.
"You got a D!" she exclaimed. Hunter looked at her. Arden looked back.
"Can I?" asked Hunter.
"Sure," replied Arden. Hunter yelled at the top of his lungs:

"I'M STILL ON TOP! I'M STILL ON TOP! I'M STILL ON……TOP!"
