Nothing Goes Right

When Evie arrived at my house, she raced me upstairs.

She turned to me and said, "I know your the Viper."

My eyes widened as I let out a light laugh and said, "Oh yeah sure,

Me the Viper that's a good one, Evie. But no seriously why?"

She said, "Its just that your holding all the Vipers gear."

I looked down.

Oh shit

She continued, "And the fact you like to go to the Drag Racing track everyday."

I smiled ok it's true.

I said, "Evie, you cannot tell-"

She interrupted me, "Anyone. Got it. You can trust me."

I said, "Ok, please just don't tell anyone you know or I could get pulled out of the race."

She nodded her head placing a hand on her heart and a hand in the air.

She said out loud, "I, Evie Baker, do solemnly swear not to tell a single

Soul about Heather Sheldon's biggest secret of all time." 

I sighed and said, "Good."

She immediately said, "So anyways, the dance is tomorrow are you going?"

I replied, "I don't know, my parents would probably never let me."

She said, "Well, go ask them right now."

I asked, "Now?"

She said, "Yeah, how can they say no."

I shrugged going down the stairs to give it a try.

I went to the kitchen where they were eating lunch.

I asked, "Hey mom, dad can I ask you guys something?"

Mom said, "Sure, what is it?"

They both looked at me as I asked, "You see, we are having a dance tomorrow-"

I couldn't even spit out the last of my sentence.

My dad interrupted, "Oh yes! Tomorrow, we have things you need to do."

I asked, "What kind of things?"

He said, "Clean the whole house spotless, make a midnight dinner, and outside work."

I know what your thinking - easy peasy.

No, not easy definitely not easy!

We have a three story house, the three bathrooms haven't been washed in ages,

Bob's room was disgusting, and I've never even been in my parents room.

I asked them, "A midnight dinner?"

My mom replied, "Yeah, we'll be back at midnight."

I said, "When should I start cleaning?"
