Blue Eyes

Part 4

We got dropped off at the school. Literally. We landed on the platform and went to our lockers and Jack's was malfunctioning. His fingerprint wasn't opening his locker. He had to call a janitor but that robot started malfunctioning, so he had to call a repair man. I had to get to class so I left him and I felt bad. I told Ms. Comfr'er about Jack , so she let us do our presentation last. It was so depressing hearing all of my classmates talking about how "dangerous" puppies were. Like seriously, puppies! How ridiculous could you get? When Jack finally got his part of the base for the presentation out of his locker, along with his tablets, it was the last presentation before they were up. "Wonderful. I felt a great urge to stay away from this creature and call the authorities." Ms. Comfr'er said from the other side of the room. "Next up, Jack and Jenny. You did Whales right?" She reassured herself and the class. "Yes Ms. Comfr'er we did." Said Jack. Jack and I went to the front of the room and we spread out and set down our bases. "You may begin." Ms. Comfr'er said.  We both stepped on the bases and the classroom lit up. Old videos of whales swimming and calling to their families started playing on the holograms. "That is the sound of loss. That is the sound of resentment. If they find their family, there will be more and more in the ancient waters. The waters of the unknown beasts." I tried to go on with the presentation, tempted to tell the truth about these harmless beautiful animals. "These creatures are so big, that the whale called the "mammoth blue whale," weighs about the same as 1,600 150-pound people. Not robots. They could crush half of our community if they somehow figured out a way to walk or slide onto land." Jack informed the class. "Therefore, if these creatures did not go extinct as they called it back in the day, then these creatures could have killed us all. With their unusual size and diet. We are unsure of what they consumed, but I'm pretty sure none of us would've liked to be alive to witness it." Jack continued. By now, my blood was boiling over and my hands were now clutched into fists. "How do we know exactly that all of these creatures are as dangerous as we are told? How do we know if they were actually the nicest things that ever existed? We don't know as a fact do we? So why assume things if none of us were alive to see and witness the truth?" I blurted out. "Well Jenny. We have records on these things. From the rulers. They know ALL about the past. We get all the knowledge that we teach you and put into your brains, from them." Ms. Comfr'er explained. "Now would you like to continue with your presentation? Or would you like to take a tube ride to the Rulers yourself, and ask them?" Ms. Comfr'er asked crossing her arms and tapping her foot as the class fell silent. "I think you should show us these informational 'teaching books' and tell us EXACTLY what they say about all of these creatures. Maybe, they were as nice as the robots rolling around the town." I snapped. "I think you should go take a ride, I will have Mr. Burgenhimmer escort you there." Ms. Comfr'er demanded.  

What would you do if you were in Jenny's shoes and had to give a false presentation?
