I am dead. So, so, *so* dead. She was going to kill me. I am in so much trouble. I thought as I looked down at my midterm grade. I had all A's and B's, but in math I had a D. My Aunt Lauren was going to be so mad at me.

I planned my funeral for a whole five minutes. Math just was not my subject. It never has been; I have a creative brain. I am not a factorial person I was good at English and Art, but I was not good at Science and Math. Thank goodness my Math teacher was going to give my class a few extra assignments to pull up our grades. I had a hope for passing the class. When the bell rang I walked through the hall glaring down at the stupid paper. I was making a list of ways to destroy it as I walked to my locker.

I packed my book bag full of homework and walked out to the parking lot. I saw my aunt in her little blue car. She would almost always pick me up. She was a doctor at the local hospital. She worked late hours, but had her days free. She was nice enough to drive me so I didn't have to ride the bus.
The car ride was filled with small talk. After we caught up she turned on the radio. Half way to home she broke the silence.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Aunt Lauren said with a gasp. Please don't ask please don't ask. I begged in my mind.
"How were your grades on midterm?" She said. My heart dropped. Oh, come on. Okay, it was now or never.
"They are good except one," I said slowly. I hope she would just drop it. She pulled into her drive way. We gathered out bags and walked into her home. I set my bag down on the kitchen counter. Aunt Lauren set down carrots and ranch dressing in front of me. I grabbed a carrot and dunked it in the dressing. I crunched the vegetable in between my teeth. It was all adding to the suspense. I cleared my throat and started.

"My grades are good all except one," I told her.
"That's good," She said kindly. "I'm glad. What was the exception?"
I sighed. "Math." I said with venom in my voice just to be dramatic. I crunching on my carrot.
"Oh, Chloe." she sighed and shook her head. This was it; she just thinks it's a low C. I hated to disappoint her. It killed me. I looked down and reached for another carrot. I was hoping if I keep my mouth full, then I would not have to speak.
"How low is the grade?" She asked.
"Not good," I said sadly. "Not good at all."
My aunt said, "Just tell me the grade, Chloe." She took a heavy sigh.
"W-wel-l I-I h-hav-ve a-" I stuttered. Taking a deep breath, I began again. "I hav-ve a D"
She took in a big breath and sighed. "Well, we will just have to work on bringing it up. I want you to work hard, Chloe." She said with disappointment dripping from her words. This was why I hate disappointing her, because she knew I could do better. It's wasn't my fault, I just couldn't understand Math.
"Of course I will try to bring it up." I promised.
