I wish I had told my dad about it.I'm really sad that I failed the test. My dad always believed in me about math, but I don’t really like it.

It’s way too hard for my microscopic brain to understand, I like reading better. But my dad doesn’t, he says reading will hurt your eyes. Which I really don’t understand, maybe reading at night with very little light will hurt your eyes but reading during the day won’t right?

My parents are just really complicated people, but I still love them to the heart. Well, I think it’s time to tell, time to tell that I failed the test. When I was about to tell my dad, I just couldn’t tell him. I thought about honesty, but I couldn’t tell. I guess the power of not telling was more than the power of honesty, but next time I’ll be telling the truth. I never can tell the truth but I can always lie. I always wanted to be a writer or a famous author, that's why I love reading. But I don’t think that's possible with my lying skills.

This morning, dad bought some mowers to mow our lawn. I think that mowing your lawn yourself is more fun than paying some random people to go do it for you. Who knows? They might mess up our lawn or worse.

I always do something myself, it’s always a good feeling to complete something yourself. It’s a good thing that today is the weekend and I don’t have to go to school, that test really tested my math skills. I don’t know if everyone passed it or not, but one thing is for sure, if someone actually passes it I’ll pay them 5 dollars. Yes, 5 whole dollars! It may seem like a pretty small amount but for a kid, that's a lot!

Today is a school day, which means school.

Today in school, our teacher Mrs. Jane is going to tell every student's score on the test. I don’t know why our teacher is going to tell every student's scores, but everyone was going to be sad about their scores, especially me.

“Alright students! Last Friday you all took a math test, and now I'll be telling you your scores.

Jay, your score is 56.” “Aww man,” said Jay. “ Alright next is Greg, Greg your score is 67.” “So close!” said Greg. And it went on and on until my score came up.

“Jack, your score is 36.” My jaw dropped.

My score was the lowest test score in the whole class! And only 3 students failed this math test! But I don’t have enough money to give 5 dollars to 26 students. You see, I told everyone in the class that if you pass the math test I’ll give them 5 dollars.

But most of the class passed so… I don’t know what to do! Today at recess, all of my classmates were searching for me! Some of my classmates came to me and asked where's the money. After some asking they started demanding, WHERE THE HECK DID YOU PUT THE MONEY?

I said “I can’t pay you all”, and then they almost punched me.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

This came from asking politely to punching and demanding. Soon recess ended and I tried to escape from them but I couldn't, they kicked my stomach and ran away. And I can tell you this for sure, you do not want to be kicked in the stomach.

When I came home from school today I started thinking about how to earn some money for all of those 26 students. I did some calculations, 26 x 5. uhh... 130! Where do I get that much money from!? I asked my mom “What chores can I do?”

My mom burst into complete joy! I’m not a person who does chores. All of the kids in my class and even the kids in my entire school do chores. My mom said to start by cleaning all the windows in our house, I said “how much do I get?” My Mom said, “what do you mean?” “You know, like money?” “Oh, you don’t get any money.”

I thought and thought about how to get 130 dollars, I eventually came up with an idea to just go and ask my dad for the money. So I went and asked my dad, and he immediately said “what for?” “Well um…” I had no idea what to say, I should have planned this earlier.

Luckily, my brain was fast and came up with a lie.

“Oh it’s for a school fundraiser, each parent has to donate 130 dollars.” “Hmm, ok here you go” “Thanks, dad!” “What kind of fundraiser needs 130 dollars each?!” he muttered to himself.

Whew, that was close! But at least I got the money. The next day at my school recess, those bullies came. “HEY, DID YOU GET THE MONEY?” “Y-yes I got the money.” “THEN SHOW ME THE MONEY.” “H-Here it is.” “WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG DUMBHEAD?” said the bully.

Then for the remaining time at recess I spent all my time giving all the 26 students their 5 dollars. It’s good to have a problem taken off your problems list. When I got home my parents weren’t at home and the phone was ringing. My parents were calling. When I answered the phone, my parents said, “We are so sorry we’re not home today, your dad took me to a store while you're at school, we’ll come back soon.” and then they hung up.

Wow, what should I do now? I thought of just watching tv until they came back, but when I tried to turn on the tv, it didn’t work. I checked the battery compartment to see if something was wrong with the remote, and when I checked there weren’t any batteries in the TV remote.

Instead there was a note saying, “Do your chores and then you can watch the TV.” “Your first chore is to wash the dishes.” Washing the dishes is my least favorite chore, because it’s so gross there are food scraps and other completely unknown substances on those plates.

Ugh, even thinking about it makes me want to puke, but I guess someone has to clean them though, after I finished cleaning the dishes, I saw a camera spying on me while I was cleaning the dishes. And it said “Hi honey! Good job cleaning those dishes! Now go do the laundry. Wait, was this my mom? “ um hello? Are you my mother?” “ Why yes, I am honey.” “Where did you get that camera from? I’ve never seen it before.” “Oh, this thing?"

I got this from a store the other day.” “How does it work?” “ Well, it... Oh, here it is! Sorry honey, we’ve gotta go, Bye!” “Bye, mom.” Ok, this camera is weird, by weird, I mean it's super weird. It even has wheels!

Whenever I move it follows me throughout the house. That means my parents could be watching me every second! In school we learned about security cameras. Ms. Jane said it’s a new technology made to record when no one is watching, so that means even if my parents aren’t watching then they can still see later on.

Creepy, right? Doing the laundry isn’t as bad as cleaning the dishes though, but still, it is kinda dirty, because you have to load someone else’s dirty clothes into the washing machine. At least you only load them in, but some people don’t have any washing machines, so I can only imagine how bad it is for them.
