Chapter 1

Hi , I'm Rebecca Williams. But everyone calls me Becca for short. I'm a sophomore at McCleary High School. I have all honors classes. Well, all but 1..and it had to be history. When it comes to history I just forget about every thing that is taught in class. So my mom got me a PERMANENT tutor. Mrs.Sweng- Hai. Her name just makes me want to hurl. Mrs.Sweng-Hai is Chinese, in which I thought who would be cool but she wasn't. And as soon as I met her, she started being really, really , bossy. "Miss Williams, time to get to work! Now!" "Yes, Mrs.Sweng-Hai" I said with my head held down. As soon as my tutoring session was over, I was so very mad at my mom. Oh yeah, let me tell you about my mom. Michelle Williams. She is a single mom. My mom and dad got a divorce when I was 8 years old. She is a cool mom. At times. Not this time though. "MOM!" I whined as I came down the steps. "Honey, is everything alright?" She said, shockingly when I yelled. "No mom, everything is not alright! Why would you hire a lady named Mrs.Sweng-Hai!?" I said. "Well honey, I thought it was best for-" I cut her off. "Mom why? Why out of all people had to be a Mrs.Sweng-Hai? She is a bossy, mean... "Cut it!" My mom shouted. "Look becca, I know what's best for you. But hey, I'll tell you what, if you can prove to me that you can improve in history all the semester, I will fire Mrs.Sweng-Hai for good. Now is that a deal?" I ignored her for a second then I answered. "Fine." I said irritatingly. "Now go to your room until dinner is ready." My mom said. "I don't want dinner." I said. "Then I will save you leftovers ok ?" "Ok mom. Goodnight." "Goodnight my little beccie bear." "Mom!" I whined "Ok I know, don't call you that." She said.
