(narrating)- Claire is at home after
school. Its about 4:00 pm.
"Claire, did you tell Mom what you got on your algebra
test?” Dad was asking me.
"No...” I was on the computer study for a Latin quiz
that was held tomorrow.
"Well... what did you get?” Mom sitting at her computer.
She was always on it finishing a teaching book for English grammar
- hoping that one day it will be published. She is a really good
English teacher.
Right when I opened my mouth to answer...
”She got a 90,” my dad rushed in saying it with a sigh,
“A lot of the mistakes she made were easy questions. Like
forgetting to carry a one or doing multiplying wrong like
4x4.”
“I thought it was addition. I do that sometimes. It’s
just my dyslexia. Just a mistake,” I calmly fought back.
“You can’t afford to make mistakes! Like I would
understand if you got one of the bigger problems wrong but you got
the easy ones wrong. You got to get the easy ones right! You
can’t just go blame your dyslexia either,” Honestly, I
dont like bringing my dyslexia into it. Just when I need a back up
like when my dad forgets that he is my father when home who
shouldn’t how I got the 90 and be grateful that it’s a
freakin 90!
“Maybe seeing the Education counselor when taking your tests
so she can read it to you as you read it,” my mom said. She
always thought that the counselor helped that much! When yes it did
help but not enough to say that it was worth it.
“For algebra?” I questioned.
“No, I mean for any tests. I wasn’t talking about that
test just in general.” The conversation ended because there
is no use for to explain to them about how I like to deal with
dyslexia.

(narrating)- Claire is at school in
the morning by the benches. Cecilia just stood up and started
talking to Maggie. Claire sat in her stop.
"Get up! You can't sit there!" Morgan said to me. She
was sitting behind me on the other bench.
"No. why? She got up," I calmly replied.
"It's Cecilia's spot. Get up!"
"Make me," I said sarcastically. Morgan started pushing
my back and she was able to get me off almost all the way but I
scooted back. She started pushing harder. It started to hurt.
"Morgan! Quit it! Cecilia is it okay that I sit here?" I
shouted.
"Yeah. It's fine," Cecilia answered and went back
talking.
"See told ya'," I smirked at Morgan. She stared me
down.
"At least you asked," she snapped. She wasn't
satisfied so she started pushing and hitting my shoulder. I just
ignored her. It continued for 5 mins or so. Anna got to school. She
came over to greet me as normal and saw Morgan’s doings.
“Stop hitting Claire!” Anna was putting her arms
between me and Morgan and was defending me.
I just sat there - ignoring it all. Then Cecilia came over and
started doing the same as Anna. I just wanted Anna and Cecilia to
stop. Morgan will quit eventually unless you respond to her
actions. I started getting mad! I stood up and turned around to
face Morgan.
“You know what! I had it!” I stormed out.

curious do you guys like the way I ended it this time?) I was

it? I was hoping taking away the start would help with that too.
And thanks for the new witty I got a new look for the story
so YAY!

Notify. Good way to end chapter... Keeps reader wanting to keep reading it, but the scene at school was maybe a little bit hard to follow... Maybe try to add more detail to clarify it up... But overall very good. Keep writing:)
