7:19 A.M 

Mrs. Chokesondick (let's pretend she is not dead)

Mrs. Chokesondick woke with a throbbing headache. Every bone in her body aches, every joint was on fire. She wanted to go back to sleep, but she couldn't. Today she was subbing for Mr. Garrison's class at South Park Middle School. She had to be there by 8:12 A.M sharp. 

She tried to sit up, but lifting her head brought on such a fit of dizziness she felt like throwing up. She groaned. There was no choice but to call in and take a sick day. They would need a substitute for the substitute. With some effort, she lifted the heavy phone book and found the number of the school. 

"South Park Middle School"

"Yes, good morning, this is Mrs. Chokesondick" Her voice sounded shaky "I'm scheduled to substitute for Mr. Garrison's today the eighth grade. Unfortunately I'm sick today so I can't come in. I'm so-"

"You're supposed to call the registry when you're sick" It was Mrs. Pierce, the school secretary, and she sounded annoyed. "That's district policy. Didn't they tell you that?"

"Yes, well. I forgot-"

"I'll make a note of it" Mrs. Pierce said, "But next time please phone the registry" she hung up. Mrs. Chokesondick sighed and put down the phone.
