Prologue
Dad
Charly, where are you?
Charly
I"m on my way to school, dad.
Dad
Good. Just be responsible and stay away from trouble. You are already in the 11th grade.
Charly
Yes dad. I know. Don't worry.
Dad
Well, you can't blame me. Last year was not so good. I had to talk to Mr. Denver just to give you another chance to take your Math final exam.
Charly
Dad, Mr. Denver is just unfair. He really hates me.
Dad
You know it's not true. He's after your welfare. He wanted you to learn. It's his job to make you learn.
Charly
Well he's not doing a very good job.
Dad
Really? And do you think you could learn if someone else will teach you?
Charly
Yes ofcourse. I have straight A's if Math is not counted. I know I'm a fast learner. So, if there is no problem with me, then, there's something wrong about him.
Dad
Ok then, you just gave me a great idea.
Charly
What do you mean, dad? 🤨
Dad
If you think the reason why you have bad grades in Math is Mr. Denver, then I will hire a tutor for you. 😁
Charly
What?!!!! No, dad. I don't want a tutor. Please, anything but that. 😟😟😟
Dad
Ok, I don't want you to think that I am also unfair. So, let's have a deal. Get a perfect score in your first quiz in Math. Do that, and I will not hire a tutor. Deal?
Charly
Don't you think a perfect score is a little bit hard?
Dad
Well, I don't think so. So, is it a deal?
Charly
Do I have any other choice? 😭
Charly
Oh ok, it's a deal. 😔
Dad
Good. Bye then, my meeting will start now. Bye, take care my little darling.
Charly
Little darling!!!!? 😱😱😱 Dad, I'm a young woman already.
Dad
😅 Ok my little young woman. Bye. See you later at home.
Charly
Oh dad, I forgot to tell you. I will be late. I did not see my friends for 2 months. We will surely go to the mall after class.
Dad
Are you asking for permission? Or are you telling me?
Charly
Dad, promise. I will take care of myself.
Dad
Just make sure that the driver is always with you.
Charly
But dad, my friends will laugh at me if they saw me with a bodyguard.
Dad
That, or you will go home early. Choose.
Charly
You're being unfair dad.
Dad
Looks like everyone who doesn't agree with you is unfair, right?
Dad
Choose now young lady. I still have a meeting to attend to.
Charly
You're the boss. They should wait.
Dad
I'm the boss. That's why I have to be a good example. How can they respect me if I can't respect them and their time?
Charly
Is it ok if I just make him wait at the car? Please dad. We will just go to the mall. Please. 🥺
Dad
Ok.Just be at home at 9pm sharp.
Charly
Sure dad. Thank you. I love you.
