Anyway lets get on with this chapter :)
Marie takes out her glasses from the case and holds them up in front of her, Marie's arms begin to casually shake from side to side as she tuns them around ready to put them on. "Why am I doing this?" Marie asks herself, Marie takes a deep breath and begins to bring the glasses closer to her face.
"Whatcha' got there?" May asks, May who was hidden by the blankets being over her. Marie immediately turns around swiftly facing her sister, she puts the glasses behind her back.
"erm...nothing" Marie mutters, May tilts her head and shrugs her shoulders.
"So...how was school?" May asks using her innocent expression, Marie gives a careless shrug.
"Awful as usual" Marie says as she takes a few steps back still with her glasses behind her back. May tilts her head as she sits Indian style on the bed.
"Why go in if you don't like it?" May asks the key question, again Marie shrugs as she places the glasses on the table behind her. She continues to stand in front of it to keep her blonde haired sister from noticing.
"To be with my man of course" Marie gives a sly grin as she answers, May returns a sly grin back to Marie.
"Lucky gal, you get to be with your man all day!" May says with great enthusiasm as she leans forward grabbing her feet, Marie gives a confident grin and raises her eyebrow.
"Yeah I'm lucky" Marie agrees with her sister, May climbs out of bed. Marie stands tall trying to make sure her sister doesn't see what's behind her, she leans back on the table.
"I wish I was in the study thingy, then I'd have big Ed teach me..." May begins to daydream of Ed teaching her. Marie simply rolls her eyes at her sisters craziness for the tall Ed.
"She's crazy over him, I don't think I'm that crazy over my muffin" Marie acknowledges, whilst May is in her daydream there is a loud knock on the door behind Marie snapping her out of her trance.
"May, Marie! Dinners ready!" Lee yells out, May with a quick burst of speed rushes through the door not bothering to open it, she breaks through the door. Marie has a sigh of relief knowing it's only her in the room now, she turns towards the glasses she placed on the table. Marie picks up her glasses steadily and picks them up.
"Well...here goes nothing..." Marie thinks as the glasses travel towards her face, Marie takes a deep breath as the glasses are about to touch the top of her nose.
"MARIE! Your foods getting cold!" Lee calls out, causing Marie to jump as she almost dropped her glasses. Marie has a short sight to herself
"Yeah...Yeah I'm coming!" Marie yells back as she places the glasses in it's glasses case and puts it back in her wardrobe, she closes the door, Marie exits through the broken door.
Marie looks around the room to see her sisters sitting around the messy table, Marie walks over to the empty seat next to her sisters and sits down. "Mash and Meat, my fav!" Marie thinks as she picks up her knives and forks, the only sound that could be heard is the munching and slobbering over the food, almost as if it's feeding time at the zoo.
"So Marie, let me get this straight? Your going into school just to be with your man?" Lee inspects as she points her fork at her, whilst May is too busy stuffing her face. Marie stops eating and turns to her sister.
"Yeah, why would I turn down a chance like this?" Marie answers with a question, Lee taps the bottom of her chin, Marie continues to eat her dinner.
"Hmm...what is he getting out of helping you?" Lee continues to persist in getting answers out of her sister, Marie looks back up at her sister confused.
"Huh?" Marie mutters, Lee looks back down at her meal and back up at Marie whose playing with her food.
"Why is he helping you? What does he get out of it helping you?" Lee asks a multiple question, Marie looks up at her older sister with an agitated look.
"Isn't it obvious? He loves me of course, also he likes helping people. He's not selfish, he wouldn't do this study buddy thing for himself." Marie's tone of voice is deep and defensive, Lee tilts her head to the side and looks down at her meal.
"I'm just saying, just strange he's helping you that's all" Lee utters, Lee continues to eat her dinner as Marie returns to eating her dinner as well.
"Who says you need a reason to help someone? Double D wants to help people because that's who he is." Marie thinks to herself as she stabs her meat with her knife.
A beautiful sun rises above Peach Creek, Marie wakes up to see her room is empty. She sits up in her bed noticing both of her sisters aren't there, Marie shrugs and heads to the bathroom to freshen up. After freshening up, she leaves her room.
Marie notices May is sat on the couch watching TV, Marie using her eyes looks around the room to see if she can see her other sister, she can't spot anyone who looks like Lee. Marie scratches the back of her head and approaches to May "Where's Lee gone?" Marie asks, May takes her attention off the TV and looks at her sister.
"She said she went to grab a few things" May answers, Marie simply shrugs as May turns her attention back to the TV. Marie turns her back on her younger sister and walks back into her room.
Marie as soon as she enters her room walks over to her wardrobe and opens it, she immediately grabs her glasses case. She holds out the case in front of her "Do I really need these? I promised myself I'd never wear these again...until I think the time is right, now is right...I wonder if he'll notice?" Marie thoughts dance around in her head, she takes a deep breath and puts them in her bag. The blue haired Kanker leaves her room.
May waves her over Marie hesitantly approaches her. "Are you going to school today?" May asks, Marie gives May a look that probably answers the question.
"Of course, aren't you?" Marie asks, May shakes her head and turns her attention back to the TV.
"Nuh-uh, TV is more my thing" May says, Marie simply shrugs and walks towards the door, Marie turns to her sister they both wave at each other.
"Don't let it rot your brain too much" Marie gives advice, May didn't hear that as she continues to watch TV, Marie exits out of the door.
Meanwhile on Double D's walk to school "Where are my chums? They're often here walking with me to school, I hazard a guess they're running late or perhaps a change of heart they maybe early?" Double D chuckles at the thought of his friends being early. Double D continues to look over his shoulder to see if his friends are coming.
Meanwhile in the cul de sac, Ed is marching towards Rolf's home with Eddy trying to pull him back "Ed! Leave it!" Eddy yells at Ed as he tries to pull him back, it doesn't work as Ed is much too big to move.
"But Eddy, I must ask Rolf if Kevin hurt the baby chicken" Ed says as he continues to walk, Eddy tries another alternative and moves around to try and push his friend back.
"Ed! It's just an egg!" Eddy shouts, his plan doesn't work as his feet scrapes across the floor.
"I must ask" Ed says, Eddy shakes his head. Just as Ed is about to knock on the door.
"He's probably at school you know..." Eddy states the obvious, something clicks in Eds head. Ed suddenly picks Eddy up with one hand and with a sudden burst of speed runs out of the cul de sac.
"You're right Eddy!" Ed says, Eddy simply rolls his eyes at his tall friend. Suddenly Rolf's door opens, Rolf peeks his head out.
"I'm sure I heard an Ed boy..." Rolf scans the perimeter before shutting his door.
Double D continues his walk until stops in place as he sees a Kanker walking towards him, not just any Kanker but the oldest Kanker. Double D gulps and attempts to walk pass her like nothing is happening, just as they're about to pass one another "Double D..." Lee mutters, Double D halts in place as does Lee. Lee turns around, Double D hesitantly turns around facing Lee.
"Lee? What do I owe the-" Double D gets interrupted, Lee folds her arms as she stares into Double D's eyes.
"So...small question, why are you helping Marie in class?" Lee asks, Double D scratches the back of his neck.
"Well it's part of the Study Buddy program where I-" Again Double D gets interrupted not allowing him to explain himself.
"I don't care about that stuff, I want to know why you're helping Marie? What are you getting out of all of this?" Lee asks as she taps her feet on the pavement, Double D does his best to keep his nerves under control.
"I can't say this counts as an extra curricular activity meaning I can replace gym with it...she'll probably hang me for that. Come on Edward think of something!" Double D debates with himself, Double D opens his mouth ready to answer. "Lee I assure you, I believe everyone has the right to a good education. I'm helping your sister because...I want to assist her in achieving those grades." Double D explains, Lee stares into the eyes of Double D who is shaking with fear.
"Is that so?" Lee asks for confirmation, Double D nods his head multiple times. Lee shrugs and walks away from Double D who has a major sigh of relief as he continues his trek to school. "Seeing as he doesn't want to tell me the truth, I guess I'll have to do some snooping" Lee plans.
Double D walks into the classroom to spot Marie is already there, Marie notices his presence. Marie stands up and waves Double D over to her, Double D walks over to his blue haired guest. "Mornin Study Buddy" Marie says casually as Double D takes a seat next to her, Double D does his usual morning routine as he takes his equipment out. Marie slowly does the same, as she does it she spots a familiar looking case in her bag.
"S...should I put them on now?" Marie wonders as she puts her notebook on the table, Double D already picks up his pen ready for the lesson. Marie looks back in her bag and opens the glasses case. She puts the glasses in her hand but she keeps them hidden from Double D by using her body. "Double D?" Marie calls out, Double D takes his attention the front of the classroom and turns to Marie.
"Can I be of any assistance?" Double D asks, Marie looks over her shoulder at Double D.
"Can you close your eyes for me?" Marie asks, Double D raises his eyebrow suspecting what she has planned.
"Why?" Double D asks "I'm not sure what she's up to, maybe it's a traditional Kanker kiss? Or hug?" Double D wonders. Marie looks down at her glasses disappointed.
"I thought you trusted me..." Marie says, those words makes strikes a cord in Double D as he reflects on what he said to Marie yesterday.
"I do trust her...but..." Double D slowly shakes his head "Okay" Double D says as he hesitantly shuts his eyes. Marie looks over her shoulder to make sure his eyes are closed. One of Double D's eyes opens faintly.
"No peeking" Marie instructs, Double D closes his eye. Marie takes out her glasses and puts her glasses on. Immediately Marie feels dizzy by her glasses, it feels as thought the world is spinning. "This is crazy...everything looks so different!" Marie thinks to herself as she looks across the room at a poster that is clear and readable "It's been a while since I wore these" Marie thinks to herself.
"Can I open my eyes yet?" Double D asks, Marie turns her head facing him. Marie exhales heavily as her breathing begins to quicken.
"You can open them...now" Marie utters, just like that Double D opens his eyes to see Marie wearing a pair of thin metal glasses. Double D's eyes widen, he is speechless for words he isn't sure what to say.
"Sh...she looks so different..." Double D continues to analyse what's in front of him.
"Say something then, I look stupid don't I?" Marie doubts herself, Marie places her hand on her face ready to take her glasses off. Immediately she feels a hand on her wrist, Double D has stopped her from taking her glasses off.
"You look fine with them on, as long as they're assisting your leaning outcome that's all the matters" Double D says, Marie looks into Double D's eyes.
"Do you think I look attractive with them on?" Marie asks a difficult question, Double D takes his hand off Marie instantly. Double D feels his nerves rising as he begins to shake slightly, Double D feels the palms of his hands get sweaty.
"What kinda question is that?! What is she expecting from this answer? If I say 'You look attractive' she'll think I some form of romantic feelings for her, if I say 'no you don't look attractive' she may never wear those glasses again and may very well break her heart!" Double D's thoughts are bouncing around his head, Marie looks on with hope. "You look...good with them" Double D mutters. Marie gets a sly grin on her face and moves closer.
"I didn't hear that, what did you say?" Marie says in an almost silent voice, as she brushes her hair over her ear to make sure she heard what she said. Double D looks down the floor not wanting to look Marie in the eyes "He's so cute!" Marie praises her study buddy's actions.
"I said...you look fine with them on" Double D repeats himself, Marie backs away from Double D as she giggles away.
"So you're saying I'm attractive?" Marie asks for a short firm answer to answer her suspicions, as Marie stares flirtatiously into Double D's eyes who is going his best not to look into the Kanker's eyes.
"er...well..." Double D gets cut off by the teacher walking into the room, Double D has a huge sigh of relief. Whilst Marie gives a disappointing groan that she never got an answer.
After the teacher is finished with her lecture, she begins to write work down on the board. Double D keeps peeking over at Marie to check how she's doing in contrast to yesterday, she's no longer squinting when looking at the board and the speed in which she's writing has picked up as well. "Can't believe I can actually read the board with these goggles on" Marie thinks to herself.
"Her performance in this lesson seems to have picked up, strangely enough she's even smiling. She must really be enjoying her work" Double D insinuates.
"Double D admitted I was attractive, I knew he thought that already but it's nice of him to say it" Marie thinks confidently.
Whilst working in pairs, Marie leans over near Double D again "You didn't answer my question..." Marie attempts to flirt, whilst Double D looks down at the question given to them.
"Lets answer these ones first" Double D says as he points down at the question sheet, Marie gives a disappointing groan and quits leaning near Double D. As soon as Marie looks down at question sheet, she feels a sharp pain in her head. Marie holds the top of her forehead as she leans forward on the table. "Marie are you okay?" Double D asks out of concern.
"I'm fine, just an headache that's all nothing to worry about" Marie says, Double D puts pen down and leans forward near Marie.
"The cause for this sudden headache could be the fact you haven't worn your glasses in a while" Double D suggests, Marie shrugs. "Can you take your glasses off?" Double D asks, Marie follows Double D's instructions and slowly takes them off. She places them on the table as she continues to massage her forehead.
"So I can't wear them for a long time?" Marie asks, Double D looks down at her pair of glasses.
"You may only need them for long distance reading, but when reading something within a shorter range you may need to take them off" Double D explains, Marie tilts her head.
"So in short, use them to look at the board, but don't use them when reading something close?" Marie asks if she's correct.
"Precisely" Double D says as he gives a gracious nod. Marie closes her eyes to try and block out the pain but it isn't working. "Perhaps you should rest your head for a while, keep your eyes closed as the lights will cause you more pain" Double D explains.
"I hear you loud and clear" Marie says, Double D looks concerned at Marie who is continuing to massage her forehead.
"If she hasn't worn these glasses in a while, then it could mean she may need a different prescription" Double D wonders "Marie?" Double D calls out. Marie lifts her head out of her hands turns her head looking at Double D. "You may need to get your eyes analysed again, I believe these glasses may too old and may be giving you an headache" Double D explains, Marie gives a disappointing groan.
"Ugh...too much effort, I'll just stick with these" Marie says as she points at her glasses, Double D taps the bottom of his chin.
"If you get your eyes tested again, you may not get these headaches" Double D pesters, Marie rolls her eyes and suddenly gets a sly grin on her face.
"I'll only go...if you come with me" Marie says with a cheeky smile on her face, Double D gently taps his finger on the table trying to think of an excuse to get out of this.
"I'd recommend bringing a family member instead of a classmate" Double D attempts to sway Marie's thoughts.
"I guess I'm sticking with these then" Marie says as she slowly picks them up from the table and swings them around gently.
"She's so stubborn..." Double D complains, Double D has a short sigh to himself and looks in Marie's eyes. "Okay I'll go them, but you need to get a parent to book the appointment" Double D instructs, there is a sparkle in Marie's eyes, as she gives a warm smile.
"Sure!" Marie says with great enthusiasm, Double D points down at the question sheet on the table. Marie shrugs and begins to write out the questions along with Double D. "Does this count as a date?" Marie casually asks, Double D immediately shakes his head.
"I don't believe going to the opticians counts as date or any form of a romantic gesture" Double D gets straight to the point, Marie gives a careless shrug.
The school bell rings, indicating that lunch is about to begin. Double D quickly packs away his equipment, as does Marie. As soon as Double D stands out of his seat "Can I have lunch with you?" Marie cautiously asks. Double D looks down at his Study Buddy.
"Well...remember what happened yesterday when you tried that?" Double D asks, Marie gives a small grin and stands out of her seat as well.
"Who cares? We're Study Buddy's though" Marie says playfully, Double D scratches the back of his neck.
"I know...but why do you want to spend your lunch with me and my friends?" Double D asks, Marie leans forward as Double D leans back.
"I get bored, I have no one else to go around with because Lee and May aren't here" Marie answers sorrowfully, Double D is at a cross roads.
"Okay...how about I'll ask Ed and Eddy if you can have lunch with us? If you stand near the door and peek in, I'll wave you over if they accept" Double D explains his plan, Marie nods her head slowly.
"Sure..." Marie utters, as the two are about to leave the classroom.
"How's your head?" Double D asks, Marie looks up at Double D surprised he's asking about her health.
"I think it's okay, I just need to be careful on when to use the glasses" Marie says, Double D nods his head agreeing with Marie.
Double D walks into the cafeteria to see his friends are already sat around the usual table, Double D moves through the cafeteria to get to his seat "For the last time Ed drop it!" Eddy does his trademark yell at Ed. Double D sits in his seat as usual, as he sees Ed whose dropped his head low.
"But Eddy..." Ed sounds glum as Double D puts his lunch on the table, he looks up to see Marie standing at the door waving at him. Double D lowers his head to looking down at his lunch.
"Why should I even bother trying? Eddy will obviously say no" Double D predicts Eddy's answer, Double D takes a deep breath ready to ask.
"No buts, just drop it already" Eddy says, suddenly a sandwich is thrown at the back of Eddy's head. Eddy shakes his head and turns around to see Kevin is sat behind him. "HEY! Watch what you're doing shovel chin!" Eddy yells back, Kevin is sat there with a mischievous grin on his face. Eddy wipes the back of his head and turns his attention back to his table.
"Say Eddy..." Double D utters, Eddy turns his attention back to Double D.
"Save it, we need to deal with him first" Eddy says as he casually points behind him at Kevin who is busy talking with Rolf and Nazz.
Meanwhile on the outside of the cafeteria where Marie is peeking in "What's taking so long?" Marie questions as she peeks into the cafeteria, Marie gives an impatient shrug and opens the cafeteria doors.
Double D catches sight of Marie entering the cafeteria "What is she doing? Why isn't she following the plan?!" Double D immediately worries as Marie struts her way over to the Eds table. She stands there beside Double D, Eddy instantly looks at the Kanker standing next to Double D.
"What are you deaf? I told you no Kankers at our table!" Eddy begins to get angry as Ed does his usual tactic when he sees a Kanker, Ed hides under the table.
"It's not your table, I can sit here too!" Marie argues back with Eddy, Double D is in between the battleground. Double D raises his hands to try and calm the encounter down.
"Please, let's talk about this...both of you" Double D tries to calm the storm, the two aren't listening.
"We eat here all the time, so this is our table. So just buzz off!" Eddy yells, Double D attempts to calm Eddy down by motioning his hands but it's not working.
"I just want to sit here with my friend! Why don't you get lost!" Marie shouts back at Eddy, the two personalities clash in a heated confrontation. Double D turns to Marie and motions his hands to try to calm her down, it has no effect.
"Please, there is no need for this-" Double D gets cut off by an heavy object being thrown at the back of his head, it's a hard red apple. Double D lands head first on the table, the arguing stops.
"Double D!" Marie says out of concern as she leans closer to Double D who is holding the back of his head.
"Sockhead" Eddy mutters as he looks behind Double D to see Kevin chuckling away, while Rolf is trying to hide his laughter while Nazz puts her hand over her mouth shocked.
"Haha, got him!" Kevin sounds as though he's proud of himself, Eddy shakes his head and returns his attention back to Double D who is still hurt.
"Double D are you okay?" Marie asks out of concern, Double D continues to massage the back of his head.
"Ouch...that hurt..." Double D mutters, Marie quits leaning and stands back to her feet. Marie looks back to see Kevin still chuckling to himself, Marie looks at the thrown apple on the table. Marie gently slides the apple into her hand, while Eddy puts his hand on Double D's back to check if he's okay.
Within a blink of an eye, Marie throws the apple with all her strength aimed at Kevin's head. The apple makes contact in between Kevin's eyes, Kevin falls back on his chair. Eddy puts his head up at see what's happening. "You mess with my man, you mess with me. So lay off!" Marie's tone of voice isn't angry, her tone of voice is in disgust. Rolf and Nazz put their knees on the floor trying to help him back to his feet, but Kevin is knocked out. Marie turns her attention back to the hurt Ed, Double D is slowly able to put his head back up.
"Wait a minute...Kevin just got floored by a Kanker...maybe having a Kanker on the table will be useful" Eddy plots a fiendish idea. Marie puts her hand on the back of Double D's head to feel a large bruise.
"Are you sure you'll be okay? I can take you to the nurse" Marie suggests, Double D slowly shakes his head.
"I'll be fine, it's just a bruise that's all" Double D says, Marie looks at Double D with a worried expression. Double D looks to his side at Marie and gives her a faint smile to try and tell her that he's okay.
"You don't have to worry about him any more" Marie says, Eddy watches on with a huge grin on his face.
"This is gold, if we have a Kanker on our table...no one will mess with us!" Eddy is thinking about their own safety that can be considered selfish. As Eddy thinks of a rotten deed, the lunch bell tolls.
Halfway through next lesson, Marie speaks up as Double D looks down at his work melancholic "How are you feeling?" Marie asks out of concern. Double D takes his attention off his work.
"I'm fine, my head is hurting though" Double D answers, Marie has a short sigh to herself before speaking up.
"Don't let guys like that walk over you" Marie says in confidence, Double D tilts his head confused.
"Walk over me? I don't let people walk over me" Double D objects, Marie shakes her head.
"What would you have done if I wasn't there?" Marie pesters, Double D stops looking into Marie's eyes and looks down at the desk.
"I...don't know..." Double D mutters, Marie raises her eyebrows in a way of telling Double D that she's right.
"I'm right, you need to defend yourself better. Don't let guys like that walk over you, get a backbone" Marie attempts to fire up Double D but he's too down in the dumps. "When I go to your house this weekend, I'm going to teach you how to be tough" Marie announces, Double D rolls his eyes.
"I don't think that's necessary-" Double D gets interrupted when the head of year walks into the classroom, the class quietens down.
"Can I speak to Marie Kanker?" The head of year calls out, Marie nods her head and stands out of her seat. She follows the head of year out of the classroom.
"Is it about what happened at lunch?" Marie is quick on the ball, The head of year nods his head.
"We don't condone food being thrown around in the cafeteria" The head of year says the rules of the cafeteria, Marie hesitantly looks away from the head of year.
"Yeah but-" Marie gets interrupted by the head of year who doesn't look to pleased with Marie's actions.
"But?" The head of year questions, Marie takes a deep breath before answering.
"Kevin threw something at Double D first, so I threw it back at him because it wasn't right for him throwing something at Double D" Marie says the truth, the head of year taps the bottom of his clean chin.
"I understand the predicament, but two wrongs don't make a right, you shouldn't have thrown anything at Kevin" The head of year says, Marie rolls her eyes and gently shakes her head.
"But-" Again Marie gets interrupted by the head of year.
"Which is why I'm giving you a detention for this Friday night" The head of year says as he hands over a detention slip to the Kanker. Marie's eyes widen knowing she's got a detention.
"Please, it wasn't my fault it was that other guys fault!" Marie says with concern and worry.
"Don't worry, he also has a detention as well. I'll see you on Friday in detention" The head of year says as he walks away from Marie who is staring down at her detention slip.
"T...that means I can't go to Double D's house this weekend..." Marie's worry intensifies knowing that detention slip means a lot more than just a detention. Marie shakes her head and enters her classroom with detention slip in hand.
Double D turns his head to see Marie entering the classroom with a detention slip in her hand "Oh no..." Double D looks up to see her with an upset expression, she looks disappointed at herself. Marie throws herself to her seat next to Double D, Marie lays her head on the table and puts her detention slip on the table next to her.
"It's not fair, it was his fault not mine" Marie mumbles, Double D looks down at the detention slip.
"Although Marie believes she was doing the correct thing in protecting me, but...she should have followed the rules. Then again...is it my fault she got a detention?" Double D questions himself "I'm sorry Marie" Double D says with a melancholic look, Marie lifts her head and looks next to her.
"Why are you sorry?" Marie asks.
"If I wasn't hit by that apple, you wouldn't be in this predicament" Double D says, Marie shakes her head disgusted that Double D is blaming himself.
"Are you serious? It can't be your fault, you don't have eyes at the back of you head" Marie says, Double D shrugs. "Does this mean I can't go to your house?" Marie asks, Double D scratches the back of his neck.
"We'll see how it goes for the remainder of the week, it's a lot of people's fault that you acquired that detention" Double D explains, Marie sits up in her seat thinking about what Double D just said.
"So your not counting this detention?" Marie asks, Double D slowly nods his head. Suddenly Double D finds himself wrapped in a tight hug from Marie as she snuggles her head into his chest. "You're the best study buddy ever" Marie proclaims, Double D does his best to push Marie back. Marie loosens her grip and backs up away from Double D.
"Again, you still need to be on your best behaviour from here until the end of the week" Double D reminds, Marie gives an enthusiastic nod. "And don't forget to tell your parents to schedule an appointment at the opticians" Double D reminds her again.
"Don't worry I won't forget about our date at the opticians" Marie says as she winks at Double D, Double D shakes his head.
"It's not a date..." Double D says bluntly.
After school Marie returns home to see May is the only one there, Marie puts her school bag down and approaches her sister. "Have you been sat here all day?" Marie asks, May gives a short nod and she stares into the TV. "Where's Ma' or Lee?" Marie asks, May takes her attention off the TV and looks at Marie.
"Ma' went to the shop, I'm not sure where Lee went" May says, May returns her sights back to the TV. Marie shrugs and sits next to her to watch TV
"I'll wait until Ma' gets home" Marie waits alongside her younger sister.
Later that night, the windows of the school are tampered with leaving them open. Lee climbs through the window of the head of years office, with flash light in hand she looks around the office. Lee opens one of the draws of his desk to see both Double D and Marie's school records together, Lee immediately grabs Double D's record and opens it.
"Undertaking the Study Buddy Program as an extra curricular activity to help him, as he's struggling with Gym Class" It reads on the records. Lee gets a twisted smile on her face.
"Lookie here, so that's what he's getting out of it. Who knew he could be so selfish...can't wait until Marie reads this..."
