This Brain For Hire

On the Recess Gang’s way to school, they stopped by Morrison’s where they saw a new bike in the window. They also looked at Greta’s bike, which was baggy. At school, it was Homework Collection Time, but no one had done their homework except for Greta, so Miss Ropey challenged everyone to a double load, much to everyone’s dismay.

The next day, everyone complained about the load. Then Rachel came by asking Greta to do her homework for her, saying she’ll study the work she does to do it herself, which Greta agreed. At Recess, Dawson asked Rachel how she got excellent on her homework and through brute force, Rachel said that maybe Greta will do HIS homework as well. Everyone went to Greta to hire her as a tutor, which she took to meaning she can get that bike. She couldn’t do some of the work, so she hired her pen pal, Hermione Parker, to help her. It was troublesome, with one day Greta pointing out that she will have 12 hours of homework that night.

That night, Mrs Grobler found her doing the homework and threatened to call Miss Ropey, which Greta told her not to do. The next morning, at school, she didn’t have her OWN homework done. At Recess, Greta learned that her friends HADN’T studied the work, that she just did their homework for them.

”We couldn’t do it,” said CJ.

”Yes, you could,” said Hermione.

”Huh, just because you can, doesn’t mean,.....” Rigelli began, but Hermione interrupted by saying, “Oh, I’m not having that. See these,” and held up papers of CJ and Rigelli that were graded A+, “this means that you CAN do work,” CJ and Rigelli walked off in a slump.

Greta and Hermione went off to Morrison’s to get the bike, but after a talk with Karen Morrison, they realised that they got the money for the wrong reasons and gave the mo eye back, this time becoming the REAL tutors, realising that they can focus on only topics they were into.

That Friday, Miss Ropey allowed everyone to go home 5 minutes early. When Greta went outside, the kids revealed that they had got a bike for her and one for Hermione, which they loved. Russ realised that means they had to “get Miss Ropey a car.”
