Hey Everyone!
You guys have probably been thinking this- "Where the hell is she?"
Well, long story short, I've had 40 days of stuff to do, and only 39 days to do them…..hmmm….I came up with a cool saying…..
Anyway, the long story is that I had finals to study for, and things at school have been getting harder. And when winter break finally rolled around, and I thought for sure that I would have hours upon hours of free time to update….that is, until, I got a new laptop for Christmas. I had to-and still have to finish for that matter-covert all of my files from one computer to another.
Only thing is, my old computer had Microsoft 2003 on it….and this one has Microsoft 2007. It's been quite difficult and time consuming.
Well, I finished my homework early today, so I suppose I'll treat you to another update! (Plus, see bottom author's note! PLEASE!)

Pencil
Scratchscratchscratch.
Scratch…scratch….scratch….
Scratch..scratch..sctchhhh
Mar'i looked up from her worksheet. Where was that last scratch? Where had it gone?
She looked down at her pencil in horror. If there was one thing that she couldn't stand, it was a pencil that wasn't sharp enough to stab someone's eye out with one hit. When class had started, the pencil beamed with its razor sharp point…but now….now! She couldn't even stand to look at it. It was gross. It had betrayed her. It was dull.
This pencil would pay.

THE GREATEST THING to happen to Jake's life
Her parents were some of the richest people on-and off-of the planet. Her grandfather was incredibly successful, was the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, and could solve the most difficult crime cases known to man, although that was not a widely known fact, of course.
At fifteen, she'd had a savings account that rivaled the life savings of the average Joe, and was even promised the position of CEO once her father and grandfather had retired.
So it was understandable that she didn't understand why she was forced to go job hunting.
"Make your own money," She mocked, "Go do something useful with your life." She rolled her eyes.
"Hey, it isn't so bad. Just find a job that you can keep for two more years, then quit once you get access to your money," Lian tried to reassure her, but to no avail.
"I can't believe my mom wants me to get a job of all things!" she groaned, "She used to cry because her baby girl was in preschool and was too old to stay with her! What happened?"
"Duh," Victor replied, "You're mom got pregnant. That's what happened."
"err…damn kid….I didn't even want a younger sibling. I'm perfectly fine being an only child!" She pouted.
"Wow," Jake replied, a little stunned, "I can't believe that you really hate the idea of having a little sibling that much. I think, after a while, you'll get used to the idea of one."
"Oh, so now you're on the kid's side, too?" Mar'i accused.
"Well….."
Flashback
"Hey Jake? Guess what?" Victor had asked, "Do you know what will happen if Mar'i gets a little sibling?"
"No…what?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Grayson will be hovering over the baby all the time. So you know what that means?"
"They'll get to argue over who changed the last diaper?
"No! If Mr. G hovers over the baby, which daughter will he not watch obsessively?"
"It's not that I'm on the kid's side, it's just that I have plans that can only be done in cooperation with infants."
The bet
"Boy."
"Girl.
"Boy."
"Girl."
"I say it will be a boy."
"And I have reason to believe that it will be a girl."
"And why is that?"
"Because I said so."
"I'll bet you 400 dollars that it is a boy."
"Fine. I'll put 400 dollars on a girl."
"It's a bet, then."
"Good. Because I go in for another ultrasound on Tuesday, and I'll know the gender by then."
"Fine, then you should probably get that 400 dollars ready, because I'm not going to lose."
Tuesday
"Hey Richard?"
"Yes Kori?"
"You owe me 400 dollars."

I just wanted everyone to know that the thing with the pencil is 100 percent me. I cannot, absolutely cannot, stand to write with a dull pencil. It has to be at the peak of its sharpness if it even hopes to live up to my standards! Phi-phi can tell you all sort of stories about my sharp pencil obsession!
Remember when I asked if you would please read this AN? Well, because I need to do some advertising. Recently, I discovered anime. And, at this point in my life, if anime were a religion, I'd be in heaven. So please check out these awesome series!

In fact, this chapter was inspired by a random review by Franshes, who, like many others, has reminded me to update.
