The Year We Lived On

The Absolute Worst Teacher Ever- Emily

  We sat in our homeroom class. Shiori and Kimberly were blowing bubbles and somehow went unnoticed by our teacher. I decided to test my luck and try that too. I now have detention on the first day of school. Shiori would probably get detention too, so I won't be alone.

  We had our arranged seating which we do all the time. Shiori and Kimberly sat in front of Skye and me. Kimberly and Shiori sat in front because of a certain bubble gum incident that happened a year ago. Long story short- I had to get bubblegum cut out of my hair.

  Our homeroom teacher this year was a tall woman with mousy brown hair and a permanent scowl etched into her face. We have great luck like always, note the sarcasm. She screamed out every name as she did attendance.

  Shiori turned around and whispered to me, "I'm gonna be deaf by the end of this period."

  I did the biggest mistake ever. I laughed as she said my name. I'm screwed. I've lived a good life. Take me now lord.

  "Do you have something to share with the class, Miss Shiori?" she asked in a sickly sweet manner to Shiori

  "I was wondering how did you get your hair like that. What type of conditioer you use? Because your hair looks amazing." Smooth, Shiori. Smooth.

  The teacher became flustered. She obviously doesn't get compliments that, much. "I've never really thought of my hair, but thank you for the compliment, Miss Shiori."

  How does she manage that? We had almost the same schedules, the only difference was two periods. We met up later in the lunch line. Shiori and Skye had the same schedule while Kimberly and I had the same schedule.

  "Shiori somehow made me get detention by pushing Kyle downstairs." Skye gave Shiori a playful glare.

  "It's not my fault, Kyle was walking too slow and I couldn't get past him. He's alright so I don't see the big deal."

  Skye leaned over and whispered to me, "Kyle was knocked out and in the infirary for an hour."

  For some strange reason, someone walks by with a caart of milkshakes. "MINE! They're all mine!" Skye screamed getting at least six. How can she even hold all of them? The world may never know.

  We could only watch in horror as she started chugging down the milkshakes. Uh oh. "Skye don't do anything drastic." She ignores me and goes on to chugging her second milkshake.

  "No, Skye. You're mouth is gonna start foaming again like last time," Kimberly warned.

  "I DON'T CARE I LOVE IT!"

  Everyone started staring at us. I being myself hid my face in my arms. Shiori left without us. "TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!" I yelled as she left.
