Summer (On Hold)

Chapter three

At lunch, I sat by Hiccup, who had home lunch. I had pizza.

"Hey, uh Hiccup?"

"Yeah Jack?" He said with a mouthful of peanut butter and jelly sandwhich.

"Could you do me a favor?"

"Yeah. Anything." He replied casually.

"Anything?"

He gave me a suspicious look. "Yeessss." He said slowly.

"Would you go ask Merida what her friend's name is?"

"What!?"

"Come on!"

He looked a few tables down to where Merida and the blondie were sitting. He bit his lip.

"You would get a chance to talk to her..." I smirked.

"Fine. But you owe me." He started to walk over. "Big time." I watched carefully as Hiccup talked to them. He came back with Merida following behind. Hiccup sat down mouthing "sorry" then focused on his lunch.

I looked up at Meirda. She was a little threatening. No boy would mess with her. She was the best girl in gym.

"Next time you want a girl's name, don't send your servant." She said. The red head strode backed to the blondie.

The bell rang. We started to head for English.

"I'm not your servant. Am I?"

"Nah. We've been best friends since 3rd grade." I replied.

In ELA, I tried to cram in some last minute studying for the test. I almost earned myself a detention.

Math finally arrived. As we walked people were drinking coffee or a book was so close to their face they must just be staring at it blankly.

In class, is was so silent as everyone concentrated that I thought I could hear student's thoughts. It was creepy.

There were 60 questions on this test. We had 20 minute left and I was on question 28. Great. I need go find a tutor. My dad doesn't allow Fs... He would kill me!

Mr. Homes said to put our pencils down. I hurriedly marked random answers on the few I didn't finish.

"I will be back in ten minutes to announce your score. I'm going to the auto correct machine down the hall. Read or work on homework." Mr. Homes left the room.

Immediately, I walked up to Hiccup and sat on his desk.

"So, how do you think you did?"

"Fairly well. You?" He said peering over his book.

"Terrible. I didn't finish and had to guess."

"Better start looking for a tutor." He relied getting back to his book.

I walked back to my desk. A few minutes later, the teacher came back. He went to the front and started to announce students' score.

"Ana 78%. Hans 66%. Elizabeth 89%." He continued on.

"Hiccup 97%. Camrynn 73%. Jack 63%."

Great. Tutor.

"Rapunzel 100%."

Who got a 100%?!?

Mr Homes finished the list. "Remember class. If you got an 70% or below you need a tutor then you can retake the test. Raise your hand if you need a tutor."

About 10 other students beside myself raised their hand. Mr Homes started to pair up people who needed a tutor and who got a good score. I hoped Hiccup could tutor me but he had to tutor Hans.

Finally I was the last one to be partnered up.

"Jack" Mr Homes continued,"since you got the lowest score you will be partnered up with the student who got the highest score. Rapunzel."

He looked in another direction at a girl with blonde hair. She sat a few seats in front of me two rows over. She turned and smiled at me. Not a normal smile. An "I told you so" smile. It was her. The Blondie. I figured out her name.
