Another Crummy Day by Chris Flynn
Page 3 of 4 I was solving 2x = 7 like 1+1. I was half way through when my pencil broke.
Then i realized I really should have bought a mechanical pencil. Oh well I
thought to myself as I left the portable to get lunch. Today they were serving
corn dogs. The corn dogs were so good the slide down your throat like fluffy
clouds from heaven. I brought my plump, juicy, corn dog only to have the
cashier say "You only have 5 cents on your account. I’ll be taking your lunch"
then it came to me the fifty-dollar check mom gave me for lunch that had happen
not to be in my pocket. Now extra hungry and about to fail a triple math
homework assignment I went back to my table. Lunch was over shortly. I begged
for part of a cookie and a roll. Although the roll was stale and mushy, I hate
it quickly and heard Mr. Pearson say." Lunch is over, back to class
Before I was dragged back to math class I was allowed a bathroom break. The
boy’s bathroom was the most evil place you will ever go. Stalls unsafe because
people liked to kick the door open, poop spread over the floor, a shirt thrown
in a toilet, and a pocket diction thrown in a toilet and peed on.
I trudged back to class hoping Mr. Pearson would say, "I understand you have
a though day so you get an A+." I was saved the sympathy of getting a big fat
F- on my homework. I sank in my chair hoping that maybe it was a dream. No such
luck was that and math class continued.
The rest of class wasn’t that bad. Just test preparation for most of the
class. We reviewed simplifying and solving inequalities. I was spared the joy
of teaching my partner inequalities for he did not comprehend what seemed
simple to me. So as I struggled for words on how to do and trying to see if I
could do tonight’s homework in class it dawned on me. I WAS WASTING MY BLOODY
TIME! I simply told the kid to ask Mr. Pearson and leave me alone! Luckily, he
took it nicely and went to bother my teacher. I plunged into the homework
trying to do as much as possible before ring the bell rang. I scurried
out of my math class, went to my locker, and went to Life Science. I noticed a
note on the door saying go to room 206.I had no idea where 206 was and decided
to follow some other kids in my class. Finally I got there, and lo and behold,
it was a computer lab. When we sat down Mrs. Lacey Said "We are going to be
doing a PowerPoint presentation with our Mitosis Flash-Cards. Everyone partner
up. I remembered I was not here last time so I had to do the notecards while
the others fooled around on the computers. 20 minutes later I was showing Mrs.
Lacey my notecards. Soon i was released and I began on the presentation. I knew
a lot more on computers than most, so I did this project with ease. After I
finished the typing I was told we had to draw the cells with the lines on the
computer. My partner and I barely managed to do all but one before the bell
rang. I was supposed to come in early Friday for my partner could not. So I
added another thing to my morning agenda. At last the taker to torment became
the releaser of freedom. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Chris Flynn, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
