Chapter 28

  “Felix, how are ‘ya doing?” Dad asked in a cool voice.

  “Okay, Dad,” Felix answered swiftly as he does most of the time.

  “Jay, how about you?” Mom asked in a sweet tone of voice. Her voice was a mixture of honey and gummies.

  “My boss liked how I performed in my job,” Jay would answer and start to eat his meal.

  At that moment, I knew I was the next one. I wasn’t fine that night. I hate how I failed one of the quizzes in arts. I didn’t review for the exam because I understand the lesson when it was discussed by our teacher. It’s the test that was difficult. It felt like it was asked by an alien.

  “How about you, Cath?” It was a mixture of Dad’s and Mom’s voices. Cool and sweet. A perfect combination.
