On The Run

Chapter Four

I sigh as I take my usual seat in first period, next to two of my guy friends, Ted and David.

They're the class clowns, and we became friends on the first day of class,  after they had stolen the teacher's lesson plan from her desk and hid it in the storage closet.

"What's up Carly?" Ted asks, and before I can answer David shoves his chair backward so that he has a clear view of me.

"Guess what the prank of the day is?" He winks, and Ted nods enthusiastically.

"What?" I quirk an eyebrow at them before David reaches into his backpack, his hand reappearing a second later with an empty tub of super glue.

My eyes go wide in horror and I gasp.

"You did not!" I shriek, but they simply nod slapping each other high fives.

I mean, the pranks they pull are funny but they always consist of hiding something or some stupid joke such as that. They have never actually went as far as this and made a fool of the teacher.

My eyes go even wider as Ms. Jenkins enters the classroom, and walks swiftly to her chair. I share a sideways glance with a smug Ted and David as she sinks down into the chair, only to spring back up a minute later with the wooden chair sticking to her bottom.

There is a short moment of silence before the room bursts into a fit of laughter and her eyes settle on Ted, David, and I.

"You three to the office, NOW!"
