Friday

I walked to school with Alex

Alex: soo, this is what you do every morning?

Lauren: yep.

Alex: wow. This is awesome! I feel so alive!!

Lauren: you feel alive?

Alex: I've done so many things by myself, I think I have a bump on my hand.

I looked at Alex's hand

Lauren: that's a callus.

Alex: a palace?

Lauren: no a callus! It's like, idk but that's a callus.

Alex: good to know.

Riiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnngggggggg!

Alex: were late!

Lauren: thats what happens when we stop for hot coco!

In class

Teacher: yesterday as you know was the first day of our SATs! Some kids were absent, so today while they do there test we'll go on our phones!

Danielle: Alex! Alex! Alex!

I could tell Alex was trying to pretend to not hear her

Danielle: Alex! Alex!

Alex: ughhh what??

Danielle: you look cute today!

Alex: thanks?

Danielle: I see your doing you SATs. Why is it that we need to do our SATs while we're juniors?

Danielle: *whisper* that dork in front of you really seems to "work hard" on these things. It's so nerdy and not the cute kind.

Alex: I think-

Lauren: no I got this.

Danielle: do you?

Lauren: it seems though you think I'm a dork

Danielle: I mean, yeah! who studies for tests???

Lauren: people who don't become failures. Oh wait, you didn't study did you? I'd call you a failure but I bet you get that enough from you parents already.

Danielle: EXCUSE ME??

Lauren: I think you should leave before I start trying to hurt your feelings

Danielle: can you believe her? Wow. She's so mean.

Alex: listen Danielle I need to do my test so can you please stop bothering me?

Danielle: OK fine! Do well!!

Danielle walked away

Two hours later

Lauren: done!

Teacher: good job Lauren!

Alex: ughrr!!

Lauren: what's wrong?

Alex: this stupid test! Its soo hard!

Lauren: wait a second.. this is a seniors test!

Alex: it is?

Lauren: yeah I know this from Marissa's homework! This is 12th grade math!

Alex: i'm guessing she just made a mistake

Lauren: well go ask her!

Alex walked up to her desk

Alex: uh ms?

Teacher: yes?

Alex: you gave me a senior test....

Teacher: But you are a senior!

Alex: I'm a junior.

Teacher: wait, you guys are juniors?

Alex: yeah.

Teacher: oh no! That means that I gave all you guys senior tests and miss.Carey gave her senior students junior tests!!

Lauren: uh oh.

Alex: so seniors are doing the easy stuff????

Teacher: oh crap! And I submitted the tests they did yesterday!!! KIDS!!

Everyone looked over at the teacher

Teacher: you all did senior math!!

Danielle: no wonder it was so hard!

Teacher: and Lauren, you got every single one right!

Lauren: I-I did?

Teacher: yes! And everyone might've gotten bad grades because it was too hard!

Danielle: so I won't get into Harvard???

Lauren: even if we had Junior tests you still would've failed!

Teacher: enough! What am I gonna do? It's already sent in!

Alex: just have us redo it?

Teacher: but the ones yesterday were sent in already! We can't redo those!

Lauren: so just tell them that there was a mixup!

Teacher: oh I got to get to miss.Carey's class! They probably got away with it!

The teacher ran out of the room

Lauren: good job Alex!

Alex: what did I do right?

Lauren: you save everyone for not getting into college! They were more test after this, we all could've failed if you didn't say something!

Alex: but you got all them right! At least someone would be going to college!

Lauren: but your a life saver!

Danielle: Alex! Omg why didn't you ask me for help?? I would've helped you!

Alex: um Danielle?

Danielle: what?

Alex: I need to tell you something.

Danielle: what?

Alex: I'm uh,I, um need to...uhhh... LAUREN has to tell you something!!!

Danielle: what?
