Just as she circled the last answer on her grade 10 social studies test, the bell rang and Scarlett was forced  to hand in her test to hand in her test to Mr. Macintyre without it being looked over. Scarlett had always had trouble with social studies and she tried her hardest to do well on tests and assignment but this test was especially hard. She opened her locker and threw her books in, as she glanced in the mirror she saw that her light brown hair had been messed up from running her fingers through it all day. At this point she didn’t care. She was already late to pick up her brother from elementary school. She drug her feet through the whole school still mad at herself because of the test. As she got outside she was hit by the warm California heat. She got into her silver car and drove off. As she waited for her brother Logan to come out of the school, she saw her white iPhone light up from a text message. It was from her best friend Louise. The message read “hey! How did you do on the test?” Louise had helped Scarlett study all weekend because Louise is in the same class but period 2 instead of 5. “Well I’m not sure!” she didn’t want to tell Louise that she thought she did badly because Louise had probably done really well. As Scarlett pressed send, Logan hopped in the car. They said their usual ‘hi’ and ‘how are you’ but other than that it was a pretty awkward car ride home. Scarlett and Logan had always had a very good relationship but today she didn’t feel like talking. Scarlett pulled up in the drive way of their parent’s medium sized home and they both ran in. Logan ran to his parents to show the paper he had in his hand and by the reaction of his parents it had to be something good. Scarlett looked over her dads shoulder to see that Logan had got a 100% on his social studies test. She was furious because in elementary they have it so easy and it’s not fair. It was reaching around 5:00 and she had dance at 5:15, her favourite thing to do. Dance was always something that she could do to take her mind off of everything and she loved that. After coming home and having a shower Scarlett threw her hair long hair into a bun and put on some sweats. After having a long conversation with Louise she felt a lot better. They compared answers and most of them matched up. Louise told Scarlett to stop second guessing herself which was something that Scarlett did a lot. She studied lot and did all she could do and that’s all that matters.
