In Chapter 8, Tanya thought she could help Brittany by giving her her project. Unfortunately for the both of them Mr. Stevens gave them a deadline to finish their own projects and informed them their grades would be lowered. He also insisted they tell Coach Hughes what they had done. Fearful that Coach Hughes might drop them from the team, the girls cautiously approached her to share their confession.

Last week in Part One of Something to Jump About -Chapter 8, More Than a Friend, we left off with Brittany and Tanya agreeing to have their projects ready to turn in on Monday. Mr. Stevens also informed them that their grades would be lowered.

In our last episode, Brittany was surprised when Tanya didn't show up to turn in her Family Tree Project. When Mr. Stevens expressed his pleasure with the project, Brittany felt guilty knowing she had not done the work. Even though she felt she needed to tell Mr. Stevens the truth, Brittany first decided she needed to find her friend Tanya.

Last week, Brittany had been welcomed to the Double Dutch Club, but Tanya warned if she didn't complete her project, she would not be able to jump. Knowing how important keeping up with schoolwork was to Coach Hughes, Tanya came up with a plan to help Brittany turn in her family tree project on time.

In our last episode, the girls of the Double Dutch Club were excited about the arrival of Coach Hughes. Amber and Brittany were each hoping to get a spot on the team. Coach Hughes was very impressed with the progress Amber had made over the summer. Both girls were happy when Coach Hughes made a surprising announcement.

Last week, the students in Mr. Stevens' class found themselves facing a deadline for their family tree project. While Tanya and Brittany's thoughts were focused on jumping Double Dutch on the blacktop, Tanya was glad she at least had managed to get her ideas on paper. However, she worried Brittany wouldn't finish her project at all.

In Chapter 3, Tanya introduced Brittany to the Girls in The Double Dutch Club and invited her to jump with them on the blacktop. And although Brittany didn't get a chance to jump that day, she was glad to have been included and given the opportunity to turn the ropes.

Last week, after an unfriendly encounter, Brittany and Tanya found themselves in the same homeroom. Their teacher Mr. Stevens conducted a welcoming exercise that caused the two of them to meet again. However, Tanya's discovery about Brittany made her realize that maybe the "new girl" was as confident as she appeared.
