"Of course, of course." Ash said. "I know." They walked into their class.
Mod
They sat at their seats and watched as their teacher wrote on the board. The bell rang and she stopped to make an announcement. "Class, your book reports are due today."Dang. Beth had forgotten to do hers.
Mod
"You okay?" he asked.
"No, I don't have a book report." Her eyes were filled with tears. The teacher came around to collect book reports. When she got to Beth, Beth looked up at her.
"Where's your book report?" she asked. Ash looked up.
"This is it," he said, handing her a paper, neatly typed and LONG. It was his own.
"I was just reading it," he said, "It's quite interesting."
"Ash." Beth whispered."I got this." he said quietly.
"And where is your paper?" their English teacher asked.
"I forgot it."
Mod
"It's just at home. I can bring it in tomorrow."
"Since I feel nice today, I will allow you to bring it tomorrow. For half credit, that is."Half credit? That was an F.
Mod
"It's alright Beth. Really, it is. Anything for you."
"Ash..." she whispered, but it was already too late. Their teacher had moved on.
Mod
Beth juggled her guilt the rest of class. When English was over, she stopped Ash outside.
Mod
Ash hesitated. "You sure?""Absolutely."
Mod
"Mrs. Smith?" "What is it?" She scowled.
"I need to talk to you about my report. You see, Beth took the credit for mine. Actually, I forced her to take it, but no she wants me to tell you this."
Mod
"She did WHAT?" She shook her head. "YOU did WHAT?" Ash cleared his throat.
"Yes...yes ma'am, she did. But only because she hasn't had the time to do hers. You see, her brother was in a terrible car accident, and...and..." he trailed off.
"We need to ask Beth this herself. Is she here?""Umm..yes she is. Beth!" he called.
Mod
"Elizabeth, we need to talk."
"Yes ma'am?"
"Ashlyn is telling me that you took credit for his project, but only because he told you to. Is this true? Hmmm?"
"Yes ma'am," Beth replied.
"Well, I suppose I can change Ashlyn's grade." She looked at them, wondering why they would do such a thing. Then she dismissed them.
Mod
"I guess we will be late for algebra." Said Ash.
Mod
"Don't worry." Ash said. "Lets just get to class."
Mod
They walked to math class, holding hands. Their math teacher was a little nicer than Mrs. Smith, but not by much. She would be angry if they we're late.
Mod
As everybody took their seats, someone from the office stepped into their class. "I need to see..um..Becca Johnson."
Mod
"M-Me?" she asked quietly.
"Yes, you," the woman answered impatiently, "Now come with me!"
Beth wondered about what was going ob. "Do you know what's happening?" she asked Ash.He shoke his head.
Mod
"Busted," she whispered.
Ash was curious. "What do you think she did?""I dunno. Vandalize the school? Beat up a lunch lady?" Beth guessed.
Mod
"And vandalizing the school or beating up a lunch lady AREN'T considered stupid or out of the ordinary?"
"Point taken. You gonna ask her?""We aren't that close." Beth said.
"Well, I'm not asking her."
"You do realize that this news will be all around school in like a day?" she said, just as Mrs. Walker yelled at them to pay attention.
"Sorry, Mrs. Walker." they said in unison.
Mod
"Agreed."
And so they waited. But no one told them. There were whispers in the hall about Becca, but no one seemed to know the truth.
Mod
Beth normally wasn't this curious about other people, but she just needed to know about Becca.
Mod
She called Ash about it. "Becca wasn't at school today. Do you think something happened?"There was silence on the other end, then, "I'm sure she's fine. Don't over think it."
God, even Ash seemed to think that she was losing it.
Mod
'Okay, okay." Ash had a point. Beth said, "I'm bored. Can we do something tonight?"
Mod
"I dunno. Go see a movie? Are there any good ones playing right now?""Hold on, let me check." Ash turned to his laptop and searched.
Mod
"Okay." "Pick you up at seven?"
"Sure."
Mod
Beth had class with Brody, who looked so strange without his friends or Becca.
Mod
"I broke up with her, and she punched me."
"Oh."
