Saint Chuck (Your Pen Name Here Challenge)

Saint Chuck found himself in English class…again. Never mind the fact that his teacher was frowning over his shoulder in efforts to decipher his words. He was on a mission.

As soon as her head turned – - and her enormous hair a few seconds later – - he finished jotting down the story ideas. “Yes…yes, brilliant!” He cried loudly, causing some odd looks. With a small smile, Saint Chuck bowed his head, making a mental note to be aware of his surroundings.

When the last bell rang, and he had sidled past the ill-tempered instructor, Saint Chuck ran home as soon as he could. And signed onto Ficlets.

    I love the way the teacher’s massive hair followed after her head turned. lol, I can relate to saint chucks haste to break away from school and write what he wants and not what the assignments dictate. And you used one of my all time fav words : Sidled. Great job, thanks for entering my challenge.

    Funny little moment of adolescence, I thought. Very cute. And I have to say I think it’s hilarious how ambiguous gender is for even some of our more well-known ficleteers. I think that’s a good thing.

    Ok well this just made my day. Very fitting…I did actually write one of my most recent ficlets in school. Thanks and great job!

    And to clear up the confusion…well actually, why should I clear up the confusion?
