“You two in here now!” Jack called to Danielle and Bright.

“Great.” Danielle muttered to herself. “If we’re in trouble it’s your fault.”

“Why are you blaming me?” he asked.

“Just shut up.” She replied. “Yes Jack?”

“The situation with you two is getting out of hand.” Jack said.

“What gave you that idea?” Bright asked sarcastically.

Danielle let out a disgusted sigh.

“This is exactly what I’m talking about. I suggest you two adjust your attitudes if you want to continue here.” Jack said. “And I know one of you doesn’t really have a choice. That’s why I need you to sign this.”

Danielle looked at the piece of paper Jack handed her.

“A civil behavior contract?” Danielle asked.

“By signing this contract I Bright Abbott agree to remain civil toward Danielle Parker.” Bright read. “This is so lame.”

“For once I agree with you.” Danielle said.

The next day…

“Now what?” Danielle asked sharply.

Bright rolled his eyes. “What’s with the hostility?”

“What?” she asked again.

“Never mind.”

“Don’t never mind me. What is it?”

“Forget it.” He said with a shrug.

“Aargh! The things you to do amuse yourself at my expense.” She said. “You and the martyr.”

“The who?” Bright asked.

“No one.” She said.

Bright shook his head. “Tell me.”

“Fine, your sister.” She said.

Bright started to laugh. “I can see that.

“So Bright, how are things going at the center?” Dr. Abbott asked as he spooned mashed potatoes onto his plate.

“Alright.” He replied with a shrug.

“What do they have you doing?” Rose asked.

“A lot of different things. May I be excused?” he asked.

“Dinner is family time Bright.” Dr. Abbott said.

Bright sighed and began pushing his peas around his plate.

“Who else volunteers there?” Rose asked.

Bright shrugged.

“Danielle Parker does.” Amy said. “The saint.”

“Want to know what she calls you?” Bright asked with a smirk.

Amy gave him a confused look. “What are you talking about?”

“The martyr.” He said.

“I bet her and her stupid slut cousin came up with that one.” Amy said.

“AMY! What your language!” Rose said. “I don’t understand why you can’t be a little nicer to Danielle. She’s going through a tough time.”

Bright stopped playing with his food. “Tough time?”

“Well, moving and starting a new school is never easy. Let alone losing both of your parents.” Rose explained.

“That’s why she moved here?” he asked, suddenly feeling awful about what he said to her earlier in the week.

“Jeehz Bright, what planet do you live on?” Amy asked.
