and after trying to get ahold of her teacher at home, she gave up and went back to sleep. Not even going down for dinner, she got up dragging, waiting for the clock to tell her it was late enough to go to class. She was so sure that it wasn’t a mistake that she was really going to fail. Waking up so early and so on edge, Clarke had started to look in the paper for jobs if it didn’t work out.
Senna met up with her, mainly going for moral support. She tried to convince her that it was all a misunderstanding, but the teacher was adamant that it wasn’t. “It wasn’t a misprint Clarke. I never got your assignment.”
“How could you not when put it in together?”
She smiled a malicious look on her face. “You still each had to turn one in. Since her name was first, I assumed it was hers.”
Rhonda had never liked Clarke. She had always been rude to her and like most people that met her, took her silence as her feeling like she was better.
“That is not what it said on the assignment board. I have it written down. It said that we had to make a joint assignment.”
“Are you really going to try and lecture me on what my assignment said?”
Clarke was about to when Senna stopped her. It was not going to turn out well if Clarke got a say in anything. Sometimes she wasn’t as good at regulating her words and she came across as an even bigger bitch than usual.
“Mrs. Ruby, we are just wondering if there is a way that we can work this out? I mean, obviously she did the work and well. This is a big part of our grade and she will lose tuition money for next term.”
Rhonda smiled again and again it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Well I suppose that she will have to get a job and work for it like everyone else.”
They were dismissed as the older woman went back to grading assignments from another class. Clarke wanted to say more, do more, but that was why Senna was there. To be her voice of reason in that moment so she didn’t do something that would make her regret it later.

“What’s wrong Clarke? You have been bummed out for a week.”
“Nothing Jared. What are you doing home from school so early? I thought you had practice.”
“No, not tonight. They are letting everyone rest up for the game tomorrow. Are you coming?”
Clarke made a face. That was the last place that she would go. She wasn’t into sports and Clarke didn’t have much school spirit. She was more occupied with her studies and her failing grade than to worry about some stupid game. “No, I never go. I’ve got to study.”
“Why, are you having trouble in school?”
She turned back away from him and looked at the thick book in front of her. Clarke was in her room and she was starting to wonder why he was in there in the first place. It was why she was in there studying and not out at the kitchen table where there was better light. “No, but I am sure you would love it if I did. Sorry to disappoint you Jared, but you have nothing to rat me out about. And I don’t have any money so there is nothing I have that you want.”
His eyes went to her long, tanned legs that were barely clad in her shorts. Clarke was missing an undergarment on top and the sight made him realize how much he wanted her as well. Jared was sure that it was his brother constant yammering about her that made him notice her then, but it didn’t matter why, he could see her clearly right then.
Jared was torn between doing the right thing and getting what he wanted. He had always chosen the latter before. It was why she was so upset and sulky as it were. Brandon’s need to have her, but now he wondered if he could enjoy it, even if it was coerced. His breathing was more labored as his mind raced, but in the end, he remembered the sound of her crying and couldn’t go through with it. Rhonda was supposed to have changed it back, made it a clerical error, but it seemed like she hadn’t. He couldn’t ask his stepsister about it because he wasn’t
