Report cards had just been given out in homeroom, so naturally there was the general question of “What did you get?” hanging in the air. I sat down in my usual spot next to Elizabeth and Jason.
“Yeah! Time for history.” I said sarcastcally. Elizabeth snickered.
“So what’d you get on your card?” I asked.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. “I don’t even want to talk about it.” I shrugged and turned to Jason.
“Two ‘A’s, two ‘B’s, and three ‘C’s.” I announced to him.
“Lucky,” he said. “Four ‘F’s, one ‘A’ and one ‘B’.
I whistled. “Dude…”
The door opened at that moment and a teacher stepped in, a substitute teacher.
The murmering did not even pause, the bell had not rung yet.
“EXCUSE ME!” she yelled. “I WILL NOT STAY IN HERE WITH THIS KIND OF NOISE !!”
Dead silence.
“Is she for real?” Elizabeth whispered.
“EXCUSE ME!” she screamed. “IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TALK WITH THIS KIND OF NOISE ! MAYBE YOU ’RE TEACHER CAN BUT I WILL LEAVE AND GET SOMEONE FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES TO WATCH YOU !”
