A Day To Be Remembered

*Sniff sniff* I was walking through the woods when an unknown user called me. I practically knew what it was going to be about because I was so confident in myself, but the caller told me to tell my frenemy, Maddison that she was the one qualified to enter the finals for the math competition. I knew there was definitely a mistake because I have an A in math 98%, but Maddison had a big fat D in math. A D!!! So unfair if you ask me. Mrs. Robinson even said I had the highest math grade in the entire 7th grade! I wonder who called, maybe it was a prank call, I decided to go tell Maddison. Later, I was at Maddison's house. I knocked respectfully on her door, Mrs. Dalton answered the door, *yawn...* "Hi, Carina, what do you want?" She said sleepily. "May I please speak to Maddison real quick?" I answered. "Sure, step on in," She said kind of deviously. "Okay..." I said wondering what was going on. "Maddy!!!" Maddison's mom yelled "What?" Maddison, said annoyed. "Come down, Carina is here," Maddy's mom answered. I think I was imagining but I heard a scowl coming from Maddy. She came down smiling, I had known her long enough that I knew it was fake. later,..... creepy music started playing the moment I started talking. I thought this was very very peculiar. "Okay, so..." Ding diddly dong.... That was the music but it was in a really creepy tone. I had practically no chance of telling Maddison that she was qualified for the math competition. I had a feeling something was up. I suddenly remembered Maddy's mom shifting around weirdly... I thought of a brilliant idea. "Hey," I whispered, "let's have a math competition." "Sure! I lov- I mean hate math, why would I?" she said awkwardly. Time to figure out what is going on here I thought. The math competition was on the computer, (obviously, we live in the digital age) She somehow got a higher score than me on the competition/test. I was starting to get it there... Omigosh!  I just realized! Maddison was faking her horrible math skills, but when the test finally came up, she had no choice because of her love of math! And her mom probably had a bad history with math or something, because Maddy's mom seems to hate math. I thought. "Maddy!" I exclaimed excitedly, "You love math as much as I do!"  "Umm..., no..." She said sadly. "Come on I could be a detective one day, who is also really good at math." I said teasingly. "Fine, I admit!" She said, she said that like she was going to burst if she didn't spill it.  I knew that after that, I would become a detective - mathematician.
