Another Day

ONE

Christian Webster was sitting innocently at
his desk when the teacher caught fire.

The day started normally enough, walking into
the school building and getting busted for
having a pet in school by none other than Mr.
Bonnefoy.

"Mister Webster! Your backpack. Now." He says
in his annoying French accent.

"All I have are my books, though." Christian kept
the backpack over his shoulder and away from
his teacher. "Well, since the last.." Mr. Bonnefoy
looked at a paper. "Nine hundred and fifty seven
times, you now have to show someone the
contents of your backpack before you go past
the lobby. Since I'm the one checking, and if you
be good, I'll throw in some tips for you." Mr.
Bonnefoy winked and Christian shuddered.
"Let's see what you have, now." He took the bag.
"Heavy.." He almost dropped the backpack. He
starts rummaging through the bag. "Wood, raft,
books, survival guides, machete, smores stuff,
and.." he pulls out an angry looking grey fuzz
ball. "Koala."

"George!" He tried to grab his koala. Mr.
Bonnefoy holds the koala high in the air. "Give
him to me! If Matthew gets Kuma, then I get
George!"

The annoying French teacher tsks. "Uhn—uh-uhn.
He's a special case. Just don't tell him I said
that."

Christian grabs the koala and climbs to the
ceiling while mr. Bonnefoy is talking. The teacher
looks around and blinks a couple times before
walking to his classroom.

Christian jumps down from the ceiling and walks
past the doors into the main hall. He fixes his hat
as Ariella walked past, dragging Jacuzzi behind
her. Christian turns a corner and walks into his
first class. Hetalian biology. His worst subject.
