“Hey dad thought you were still working on that truck”?
“No that job is finished and I got paid a lot for the truck. So how was school today anything important happen”?
The Boy grabs a can of pepsi from the fridge and what looks like the fixings for a sandwhich. The girl is sitting at the island playing and watching videos are her phone. She looks up…..
“No not really hung out with some friends after school and I also had a meeting with the advisor but nothing big going on there. Why whats up”?
“So you had a meeting with your advisor about the fact that you both are about to fail”!
The man grabs a laptop from under books that are on the island. He opens the computer and spins it around to the two of them. He points at the computer screen.
“Baby girl how do you fail P.E.? and Handsome how are you failing math and D- in english”?
“Dad it's harder than you think. My advisor told me that I have to finish the mile run and I will pass”.
“Ok Baby girl you will begin training this minute. Get your lazy butt to the gym and start working on your stamina this very second”!
“But dad I have plans with my friends tonight”!
“Oh I see but your plans have changed till that grade moves up from failing! So get to your training this very sec”!
Babygirl stands up angrily and marches towards the gym. She opens the door and then slams it shut and we can hear music blaring.
“Dad a D- is still passing. I also made a deal with Crazy Miss. Brunhilda I have to retake her finale test again”.
“ Ok smartass I know a D is still passing. So what do you need to do to pass this test”.
Handsome grabs his bag and pulls out a large stack of papers and slams it down onto the Island. The figure reaches down and spins the stack around and begins to read it quickly flipping through the pages and then stops. He walks away and heads towards a dimly lit room he leans over an old desk and opens the top drawer and begins to rummage through the drawer.
“So you made me think this test was impossible to pass? How about you take this book, read it and then do the questions and tell me how it turns out”.
The figure tosses Handsome the book and then walks into the living room and sits down on the couch and turns the T.V. on and relaxes as the scene fades to black….
