Nothing left to lose

F

I stare in shock at the crinkled up paper.
"An F!" I gasp, I start to tear up as mr Michel is walking over.
"Anna? Are you ok?" He asks
"Um yeah, I'm fine." I sniff "it's just this assignment was tough." I lie
"I'm not talking about the assignment yet, I'm talking in general. are you ok?"
He asks again
"Oh, um yeah I'm fine." I nod
"Listen I've seen the way you're acting and it's not like you to hand in @.Star_researcher material." he smirks
"I'm sorry? What? How did you know?"
I raise an eyebrow.
"Did you even read what he wrote? It wasn't about the assignment it was about football. how do I know? I wrote it to see how many people would copy it. and of corse I got the same people but I would never expect you to do something like that." He says
"I'm sorry. may I leave?" I question
"Go ahead, but don't let me catch you doing this again. ok!" He asks
I nod as I walk out of class
"Hey Anna!!!" Nia waves
"Ok so my doctor called and apparently my appointment was double booked and I have to wait an extra 3 hours but that's ok cuz the party starts at like 8:30 and we have time to go shopping for outfits!" Nia jumps up and down in excitement
"Yay!!!" Lea, Jasmine and Brittany squeal with glee.
I've never been one for shopping but I guess it could be fun? Right?
