Question

Write a story that ends with it's better late than never

Answer 1

There once was a high school student named Peach. They were up rather late one night studying and their head was bobbing back and forth from exhaustion. Their analog alarm clock read 11:47 PM and Peach was just finishing up their 3rd cup of cofffee. A message popped up on the corner of Peach's laptop screen.

"Oh, Mrs. Filbert emailed me..." They clicked on the notification. "What does she want so late at night?"

The email read: "Hello, Peach. I'm just checking in to see whether or not you've finished your English essay just yet. It's due tonight at 11:59, and another late grade will significantly lower your overall score. Update me whenever possible. -Mrs. Filbert, English 4"

Peach's eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights. Frantically, they opened up a new document and started typing like mad. 3 minutes went by, then 5, then 9. Peach's vision darted from their book to their laptop as they tried to recall the plot of Pride and Prejudice within just 17 minutes.

Finally, as if a wave of relief washed over them, Peach finished their essay and clicked submit at exactly 11:59 PM. Well, it's better late than never!
