Ch.2: Gum Problems

Ch.2: Gum Problems

I woke up to a sudden screaming. I also forgot to turn my lamp and T.V. off. Then I remembered. I chuckled. Since I am not a very good liar, I always blame it on my brother, Tony. He's worse then me.

I walk out of my room saying, "What? What?" My eyes met my mothers. "Someone put gum in Charlette's hair." She said dissapointedly. I laughed so much, but that was in my mind. "Who did it?" I managed to say with out laughing. "Either you, or Tony." she said with fury. " I think Tony did because I heard his door open in the middle of the night. I thought he was just getting a midnight snack, so I left him alone. Apparently not."  I sware my mother's face went red. "TONY!!!!!!!!!!!" My mother's booming voice filled the room. I ran to my room, giggling. I hurried up and changed into my school clothes for school. I rushed out of the house, hoping not to my mom and Tony's conversation.

I met with Lilian while walking to school. " Hey Lilz." I said. " Hey Sam, what's up?" "Nothing." I chuckled, remebering about the gum. Lilian raised her eyebrow. "Fine. I'll tell you." I admitted. I moved my bangs over my half eyebrow before I could tell the story.

"So two days ago I was....um..... shaving my eyebrow when Charlette barged in. She made me shave  half of it off." I moved my bangs for her to see. She gasped. "You got revenge, didn't you?" she smiled. I smiled back. " Yes, by putting gum in her hair last night. I blamed it on Tony." I let out a little giggle. Lilian gasped agian. "You Dirty Little Girl!" She chuckled. Both of us laughed so hard, we had to hold onto each other to stand up. Then, they encountered someone.

Hannah Mackintosh, the snottiest girl in school. Good thing I don't have to take care of her. 'Hey Lezbos. You two must love hugging eachother, don't you?" We both ignored her and kept walking, until she said "Hey Sam! Justin told me he would NEVER go to prom with you. He even swared on the Holy Bible."

I stopped walking. I turned around and shaked my fist at her. "Awww...... someone is afwaid of me....aw......." Hannah said annoyingly. "THAT"S IT!" I shouted. I turned around and punched Hannah in the face. Lilz gasped, for the third time. Hannah's face went red. "SAM!!!!! I'M TELLING THE SCHOOl!!!!!" before she could run off, I told her that we wern't even in school property yet. Hannah stopped. She yelled agian.All I heard were sobs and, "STILL ...sob...sob...TELL!!!!...sob..." I didn't really care.

I turned to Lilian. She was shocked that I did that. " What?' I said. " You do know your going to be in HUGE trouble, right?" Lilz said. I answered. " I know and I don't care." I ran ahead to school, leaving Lilian behind. For some reason, a tear rolled down my cheek. I wiped it with my sleeve.

I walked into the classroom where the principal was standing with a disappointed look and Hannah behind her with a black eye. The principal said, " Sam. Office. Now." I turned out of the room to the officce. I could still hear whispers from the classroom. Only one whisper stuck out: Justins. He was whispering to his best bud, Nick. Justin said, " I bet she deserved it." I smiled while walking down the hall. Justin was on my side.

I walked into the office, with the principal close behind. i sat down and stared at the wall. The principal sat down, too. "Sam," she started. "You are suspended for one week. No questions asked." "But Mrs. Sanchez! We Weren't Even In School Property!" I yelled. "Call your mom to tell her to pick you up. Next Tuesday you are welcomed back. You are now dismissed." "BU-" I tried to squeeze in, buy Mrs. Sanchez cut me off. "Out Of My Office. Now."

I walked out angrily and slammed the office door. I called my mom and told her what happened and that she needed to pick me up. When she did, She was yelling at me for the gum, ( How did she find out? ) and for punching Hannah. I just let all of that come through one ear and out the other.

When we got home, I started marching upstairs to my room when my mom stopped me. " No, No, missy. I got you a job. it starts in fifteen minutes. You are babysitting the Durkens. Emily Durken, Zac Durken, and Christina Durken, to be exact." I stood there, shocked.

I was in my mind saying, 'Ok, Ok, everything is going to be fine. Theyr'e just kids.' I decided to just change my shirt because it was damp from my tears. When I finished changing I walked downstairs. Charlette stuck her tounge out at me. I did the same. I walked out of the house and grabbed my neon green bike and rode to the Durkens. They were the family with the HUGE house. I was a little happy because I would get alot of money.

I lay my bike down in the grass. I knock on their door. Zac Durken asnwered it. My jaw fell.
