She now gave me my phone back and said, “I know now that it was my fault that you failed in all your classes but a miracle happened and magically you have all A’s now.” I checked my grades and I did have all A’s! I told my mom she is the coolest mom in the world! She retook the tests in every class and aced them all and my grades shot up. Even my gym class grade. I have no clue how she did that but she did.
