"Pssst," Miri tried to get my attention.
"Yes, Miri?" I answered.
"Are you absolutely positive your braces are coming off today?" She asked cautiously.
"Yes, my orthodontist promised," I replied.
"Well good, because I don't want you to be disappointed. Remember what happened the last time? He said you could get them off and then when the day came he said, a few more months is needed," Miri explained.

"I'm so happy for you P, you're gonna look so beautiful at prom," Miri held my hand and smiled.

"What the?" I asked.
Mr Downey fell behind his desk, while the top of his desk pooled of different sorts of acids and chemicals that began eating through the wood.

He walked cautiously, constantly keep his eyes on where Mr Downey lied. He walked and walked... WHEN MR DOWNEY SUDDENLY JUMPED UP AND FLUNG HIS BODY ONTO HIS DESK! The whole class jumped from the shock.
He stood the squatting over his tethering desk while his face looked grey and eyes wild.
"Are you okay, Mr Downey?" Max asked as he stood shaking.

As he held Max and Max panted and desperately yelled for help, Mr Downey dragged his finger nails across the skin on Max's neck.Max panted in his arms, he panted and panted until his eyes and skin become like Mr Downeys, and he got up furiously and kind of roared at us all, and thats when we really began to panic...
