Is This Perfect

Chapter 5| Grades?

• So before I begin I just wanted to say that I picture Brian and Brooke being like this picture at the top so yeah, let's do dissssss •

**Brooke's POV**
*last period*

As the bell rung for the the last period to end , I gather my things and get up to leave, when Mrs. Lance ( I'm using one of my teachers names haha) stopped me. "Brooke can we talk about your grades? I will give a pass so you are not counted late.", she says while pushing her glasses up to the bridge of her nose. "Um....Sure." I say nervously. I usually have really good grades so this scared me. "Brooke your grades are.....um.......not what I expected." She says. I look down at my feet. I don't like getting in trouble. "What is my grade ma'am?" I ask while looking into her brown eyes. "You have a 100% in my class, this is the hardest class you will ever have and you have a perfect score on all of your assignments. I'm very proud of you. I was wondering if you could maybe, help out your brother, Brian, with his homework. He is completely flunking my class." Phew. I have a good grade. But Brian is dead if mom and dad find out. That's why I am NEVER planning on telling them.

"Hey, what was that about?" Ashley asked as I walked out the classroom door. "she said I have a 100% in her class. Then she said she's giving me a class so I won't be counted late." I said laughing a little bit. "That nut job doesn't realize it's our last class." Ashley says giggling. I put my things in my locker exempt my homework binder. "Hurry up Brookiebear" Brian complains slumping forward as if he was tired. I scoff and make my way to my car. I put the keys in the ignition and drive home.

I walked in the door and got a response from my mom, "B is that you?" She questions. "Yes, mom" I reply simply. "Can you babysit Monica for the Leca's today." She asks while citing up some chicken. "Who are the Leca's? Have a met them before?" I question.
"They are our new neighbors. They have three kids. Monica is four, Jack is 15, and Cameron is 17. Their parents are my friends from high school." My mom says while looking at me.
"Ok. I have to do my home work first." I say while rubbing my temples.
"OH MY GOODNESS, BROOKE. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR NUCKLES?" My mother says freaking out. Shoot.
"Mom, I'm fine." I say annoyed.
"No you're not! What happened?"
"I punched Julie today." I say.

"Julie, your best friend Julie?

"Mom, Ash is my best friend" I say in a duh tone.

"Well what happened"

I tell her the whole story. "That little bitch" she mutters under her breath. I laughs little at my moms comment.

"So, Ms. Lance talked to me about my grades today." I say while taking a sip of water. "And what did she say? Brooke, are you failing?" She asks way to seriously. "No mom. I have a perfect A in her class." I say and she smiles and congratulates me. "What about Brian's grades?" She asks and I almost choke on my water. "Um, I don't know what his grades are." I say looking at my feet. she sighs and tells me to start in my homework.

**finished homework**

"Ok mom, where do the Leca's live?" I ask getting ready to type it into my phone. She gives me the address and I say goodbye.
