Unlike most days, everyone in the classroom was wide awake. It was 8th period now, sophomores and a few freshmen anxiously waited for the bell that would bring them their freedom. Seventeen minutes and 34 seconds left, I could feel beads of sweat running down my forehead. What in the world would I do for seventeen minutes and 34 seconds? I looked around the class, Darius the lanky kid with the shrill voice sat in the other side of the room staring into space. I looked at him patiently admiring his long muscular legs... just kidding. I gave him an awkward stare with a raised eyebrow. He noticed me almost instantly and came back to earth. Now that I had his attention I began to cleverly play ninja across the room. By carefully keeping track of his hand motions and keeping pace with his swift movements I won the fierce battle of “ninja” without making any physical contact. I looked at the clock again, only two minutes and 53 seconds had passed. I looked around the room desperately trying to find something to entertain myself with. Mr. Gambol must have noticed my discomfort and interrupted my search for fun with a question I couldn’t even make out. It went something like this “Mauricio, blah blah mumble blah I had pancakes for breakfast blah blah more mumbles?” I suddenly felt like Walt Disney, frozen. (His life must suck!) Unable to answer, I slouched down in my chair. Just as he was about to continue with his lecture I shouted out “Seven!” and that, children, is how “seven” became the answer to anything don’t knowJ.
The story doesn’t actually end there. Now that Mr. Gambol knew I wasn’t paying attention I stared at him intently, to make it seem like I was taking in every word he said. But in reality I was staring at the huge wet spots beneath his arms. I was like “Dayuum I know its hot Gee but yo pits be ridiculus!” (notice how I intentionally misspelled ridiculous in an attempt to imitate the voice in my head) So there I was, staring at Mr. Gambol’s axillae when it finally happened. The bell rang. and tat my friends is how the real story begun…
