How To Get An A || Multi- Michael Jackson

Ch.22: Pie-A-Professor

"I could say the same thing about you. Why are you here anyway?"

"Joined stage crew, and you?"

Bad rolled his eyes then sighed, "My brother is an asshole."

"And that's why you came?"

"No, but this whole thing means a lot to him, and it's a family things — and — I shouldn't be here. I really shouldn't."

"I have no siblings so I can't really put in my two scents." Susan shrugged.

"Aren't you mad at him? At all? Why would you want to help him?"

"Oh I won, and knowing makes me feel incredible." She stood next to him and gazed out at his brothers, "The thing is though, it's not all about him, I mean look at all those kids out there ready to put in so much work. I'm sure they certainly don't do it for him or any of you at that."

"That doesn't answer my question though."

She took a breath, "Distractions, I need something to do than hermit my life away behind a computer screen."

Bad looked back out at everyone then his brothers sitting side by side on the edge of the stage.

"You know, it must be kind of cool, having so many brothers." Sue crossed her arms.

"Yes, I'm a large fan of seven of us being named, Michael." He continued his gaze out at the crowd.

"Beats being a family of two."

He looked back at her, "Two?"

"Well, I have aunts, uncles, cousins, but they all live far away. After my parents divorced my dad moved back to Italy, so, it's just my mom and I." She looked down then smiled, "Not that I don't appreciate it. It's nice, but I always wondered what it would be like to have siblings, you know?"

"A pain in the ass is what it is."

Suzy laughed a little, "On another note, you said seven of you named Michael, but there's only six of you?"

Bad's face went completely white at her question. Instead of answering his feet began to walk straight out onto the stage to join his brothers by their sides'. He sat down next to Thriller and pat his shoulder then took one of the papers everyone had.

"Huh..." She knew being a Psychology major was going to pay off in one way or another and his mannerisms made her curious. "Seems like I struck a cord, Lucy."

oOoOoOoOo

Saturday morning had rolled around. It was the beginning of the homecoming celebration that would go on all through next week. Susan, along with Carol and the RA's planned for weeks to make this day especially perfect.

On main campus tons of tents stood tall with stands from students of all walk of life. This event was not only huge for the university but also the entire town and towns nearby. Homecoming was a town wide fun fair lead by the school but events held all around.

Knowing this, paired with the fact the Jackson brothers were going to be at their tent meant Susan could make the money for her kids, more than enough.

"When are they coming?" Harper followed Susan who carried a box of paper plates to another table.

"Soon, Harp. Relax." She laughed a bit.

"You can't blame me for being nervous. They're jerk-offs. If they don't show we're done for."

"Well, the dean gave me his word they would come, and I'm sure as the big brother he'd kick their asses otherwise."

"You still gonna serve them like a slave," Carol teased as she placed a box next to hers."
