Last Minute Panic
By Phyllis Naegeli 		  
1     Juan sat down next to Micah on the front porch of Micah's house. "What's wrong with you?"
 
2     "Nothing!" Micah snapped.
 
3     "Hey, sorry," said Juan, rising up from his seat. "If you don't want to hang out, I'll just leave."
 
4     "No, don't leave," said Micah. "I'm just a little stressed. I didn't mean to snap at you."
 
5     Juan sat back down and looked at Micah. "Stressed about what?"
 
6     "The science report that's due tomorrow," said Micah with a long face. "I haven't even started writing it."
 
7     "Oh," said Juan with a grimace. "That's not good. What are you going to do?"
 
8     "I don't know," said Micah. "I have some research, but I just can't seem to put it all together."
 
9     "I finished mine days ago," said Juan. "It wasn't that hard."
 
10     Micah shot Juan a look. "You're no help."
