The first week of school was coming to a close.  Friday had arrived, and school was minutes away from starting.  Lance and Celia, who held up their promise to behave in class, were still seated next to each other as they had been since Tuesday.  The classroom was buzzing with chatty students as the clock ticked away, nearing the bell that signaled the start of the school day.  Lance and Celia looked at each other and smiled as they got their supplies out, eager to get through the day, knowing that the weekend was almost there.

Soon the bell rang and Mr. Andrews stood up in front of the class as the students became silent almost immediately.  "Alright, let's get started.  First, let's go over your English homework."
