Wow dont' u just love how all the chapters in this story have such GREAT titles? NOT! haha. oh well. Better than no titles. I don't know about you, but I hate when people don't name their chapters because when i'm reading so many stories, i can never keep track of which chapter i'm on in which story. Well, enough of this. My last author's note was long enough so i'll make this one short.
Sonny's POV
"Excuse me," I called, snaking my way through the crowded playground. "Mrs. Gates." Ellie's teacher turned around and smiled at me.
"Hello, Ms. Munroe," she greeted me. "And..."
"Chad Dylan Cooper," Chad introduced himself. He held out his hand for her to shake and I rolled my eyes. After all these years he was stillusing all three names. What was wrong with just Chad?
"What can I help you with?" Mrs. Gates asked
"It's about her daughter," Chad told her, obviously looking for an excuse to call Ellie his daughter.
"Oh," Mrs. Gates said, looking a little surprised and confused since she knew I was a single mom. "What seems to be the problem?"
"She says you spell-checked her letter to Santa," I said.
"Yes," Mrs. Gates. "Writing letters to Santa was our project of the week last week."
"Do you happen to remember what she asked for?" I asked, crossing my fingers. "Because she mailed it before I could see it and I have no idea what to get her."
"I'm sorry," she answered, frowing. "I spell-checked so many letters last week. I can' t remember who wrote what."
"Well, do you know who she might have told," I asked. "Maybe someone she sits next to in class?"
"Hayley, Cassandra, or Daniel might know," she informed me, pointing out three children who were playing with Ellie. "They're in her literacy group."
"Would you mind distracting Ellie for a minute so I can talk to them?"
"I guess..." Mrs. Gates answered. She walked over to Ellie, said something to her and took her aside to talk to her. As soon as Ellie was gone, Chad and I sprinted over to where Ellie's friends were standing.
"Hey, guys," I greeted them.
"Hi, Ms. Munroe," one of the girls greeted me. I guess we'd met before. "What are you doing here?"
"I need you help," I explained. "Do any of you guys know what Ellie asked for in her letter to Santa? It's really important." The first girl shook her head.
"She wouldn't let me see her letter," she answered. "She said that it was a surprise. Did you see what she asked for, Hayley?"
"No," Hayley answered. "Daniel?" Daniel shook his head.
"Sorry."
I sighed in defeat.
"It's okay," Chad answered dejectedly. We walked back towards the car and got inside.
"Now what?" I asked as we headed back to the house.
"I guess we're going to have to guess," Chad answered. I guess that might work, but something told me that this Christmas was going to end with Ellie in tears.
Okay so you guys know how I said the backstreet boys were my new obsession? Well, that lasted about...2 days. give or take a couple hours. So, I have a NEW new obsession now. Marianas Trench! Seriously, if you don't know who they are, youtube them right now. I LOVE their music. Like, I've always been a fan, but now I'm obsessed. haha. just another thing to add to my list of obsessions.
One more thing. I need your help with something. I'm tryna get my bestest buddy Brandon to tutor me in science but he keeps saying no (if he was gonna say no when i asked him to tutor me, why'd he brag about having a 94?) I've offered to pay him (in gum, chuck e cheese tokens AND money), I've offered to bake him pie, I've even offered to give him my SISTER. (I've decided to disown her. She's a mega bitch/slut-faced whore...i'm a nice person, eh?) Nothing works though. I've literally said "PLEASE" AT LEAST 300 times today. (Every time i come anywhere near him, as soon as i open my mouth his reply is "No") So I need you to use your awesome creative little minds to come up with a foolproof plan to get him to tutor me...something that doesn't involve me taking off my pants is preferable, but hey, beggers can't be choosers. (That was a joke btw in case you didn't get that. :S That whole taking off your pants thing is more my sister's department...wow that was mean. i'm sorry.) And just so you know, I'm stronger than him so if I could get him to come to my house after school, I could keep him from running away and tie him to a chair or something, but he's faster than me so if he runs away, I can't catch him. Oh and I'm pretty sure if i invited him to hang out, he'd see through my plan and know i was trying to trick him into tutoring me so i gotta be sneaky.
Okay, that's it. You guys can go now. PEACE OUT SUCKAHS (and review!)
