Arthur and them and the new school
The test results are now in. That girl got an F on her test. She will get grounded because of it. She got a spanking first then grounded and forced to join the study club. Arthur got a slight raise in his allowance for getting an A+ on his test. An extra 10 cents that is. His parents are proud of him now. They know that study group club will work. All the ones in that group passed their test very well. Then a few new people as members of that club. Just a few background characters is all.
"I just wish Ladonna would join," said Arthur, "She needs to improve her grades after all."
"I can talk to her," said Francine, "If not i will talk to her mom if she doesn't listen."
"We can also talk to Bud," said Brain, "He is a pretty smart boy after all."
"That he is," said Arthur, "He is also a good kid after all."
"That is true," said Fern, "He is also a strong little boy."
They went to talk to Bud first. He wants Ladonna to end her friendship club and join the study club. He wants his sister to pass to the fifth grade. He doesn't want her left behind for a year like Binky did. Binky had to repeat the third grade once. Bud doesn't want Ladonna to repeat the forth grade. He will see what he can do. He is talking to them now about it to them.
"I will see what i can do," said Bud, "I don't want her to repeat the forth grade like Binky got left behind in the third grade."
"Thanks Bud," said Arthur, "If you can't maybe you parents could."
"I hope she listens to me," said Bud, "If i have to tell them i must. My mom can make her."
"That is true," said Arthur, "I can talk to Ladonna."
"We all can," said Francine, "Bud let's try talking to her first if not you can."
They talked to her about it. But she said that a friendship club is better than a study club. So Bud is talking to her now. She said the same to him they did to Arthur and them. So he is talking to both his parents they are both home now.
"Ladonna we need to talk," said Mrs. Compson, "So sit right there on the couch and listen to us."
"But mom we have a club meeting," said Ladonna, "My club members are waiting for me at the treehouse."
"Your mom said now!" said Mr. Compson, "As in right now this very minute!"
"Yes sir," said Ladonna, "I will listen to what you say."
She had no choice but to disban her club. She had them join the study group. See what happens next chapter.
