Dawn's POV

 It's Friday and we're getting out midterm scores back in the 8th period. It's 8th period and I'm so nervous.

"Dawn Holland," The teacher calls. I stand up and go grab my paper. She hands me the paper and I don't look at it. I go back to my seat and take a peek.

History: 190/200
English: 181/200
Science: 196/200
Math: 163/200
Physics: 168/200

Welp. This sucks. I failed maths and physics. I barely passed on English. 

The bell rings and I get up. I bolt out of the classroom, opening my locker  I grab everything and stuff it into my backpack. 

"What's the rush?" Shawn asks.

"I just want to get out of here," I state.

"Why?"

"I got my scores back and they suck."

"Oof." He states. I grab my backpack and head out. I see Tom's car and get in with Paddy. 

"Hey, how was school?" Tom asks.

"Good!" I act all happy. Even though I'm dead inside.

"Did you get your tests?"

"Yeah. I did pretty well."Paddy states.

"Same." I lie. Tom drops Paddy off and we head home. We get out of the car and I go to my room. I'm greeted by Milo's little bark. He runs over to me, tripping a little bit.

Hey buddy, it's always good to see your cute face," I say, picking him up. I set my backpack down and take out the sheet of paper with my scores. I lay it on my desk, face down. I do my homework and a project I have for history.

Tom's POV

I am going through emails and I find one from Dawn's school. I open it up and read it. It's the scores from her tests. 

History: 190/200
English: 181/200
Science:196/200
Math: 163/200
Physics: 168/200

What? What happened? I thought she studied? Did she lie? I get up and walk over to her room. I open the door and find Dawn training Milo. At least she's doing something productive. 

"Dawn, I got an email from the school," I state.

Dawn gulps. "Really? About what?"

"Your midterm scores. That you failed 2 of the tests and barely passed on another one."

"I-I can explain."

"Please do. Because I want to know what you had been doing for the past 2 weeks instead of studying."

"I did study." She says. I lift an eyebrow up. "Well, a little. I was on TikTok."

I nod, finally understanding the whole story. "But why did you lie to me when I asked you if you had studied?"

"Technically, I didn't lie. I pulled an all-nighter the night before and studied."

"Oh, so that's why you didn't fail all 5 tests," I state sarcastically. "TikTok can't be your first priority. School comes first, every time. Unless, someone you know is dying."

"I'm sorry. I won't be on TikTok so much."

"It's ok. I suck at taking tests too." I laugh and she hugs me.

"Do I need to give you my phone?" Dawn asks.

"Only if you promise to actually study next time. Take this as your warning." I reply.

"Ok. I love you dad!" Dawn states. 

"I love you too." I kiss her on the forehead.
