John woke up with a start, he had just been dreaming of flying to Peru when all of a sudden his alarm clock had gone off startling him. He yanked the blankets off him and began to get ready for school.
After getting ready John quickly grabbed his home work and stuffed it into his bag; after all he didn't want Mrs Patsy punishing him. For some reason she kept on giving him furtive glances every time they made eye contact. "Man! That teacher is cold" he thought as he climbed down the flight of stairs to the kitchen.
He quickly wolfed down a bowl of cereal and had a glass of juice in accompaniment. He had just finished rinsing his bowl when his dad walked in holding a newspaper and looking grumpy as usual. "Morning John " he mumbled as if remembering his paternal duties.
"Morning dad and good bye " yelled John as he walked out of the door, just in time to catch his friend and long time crush April Whether. She smiled as she saw him walk down the street and up to her. When all of a sudden there was a loud bang from a house 3 blocks away.
Both John and April turned their heads to see what was going on, to their surprise they noted a black sedan drive past them from the direction of the bang. Forgetting school, both John and April rushed to see what was going on.
To their imminent horror they saw the Pevensie mansion in flames. Mr Pevensie being the only occupant of the house was feebly trying to put out the fire. "Thank god you kids came! Grab a bucket and help me put out the fire while I still can. It seems there was an gas explosion of some kind, Said mr Pevensie.
"That's no ordinary gas explosion" noted John. "It seems to have been set up" commented April picking up on Johns theory. "The black sedan !" They both said in unison. "You kids have lost me from the point you said gas explosion but , I've always learned to trust your instincts."
" Right now, my gut instinct is to run as fast as we can before we are late to school and most importantly Mrs Patsy's maths lesson." Said April. "Sorry mr Pevensie" said John as they began their brisk walk to school.
"Mr Eaves... if you have not finished my assignment again I will literally have you by your neck and into the principals office" said Mrs Pansy as John walked into her room that morning. "I'm pretty sure I did it madam " said John in his most cohesive voice , pulling out his homework.
Mrs Pansy snatched Johns homework in the most ecstatic way and flipped the pages to the assignment that John had completed the day before. "John eaves is this what you called completing an assignment?" Asked Mrs Pansy as she flung his book at him.
"But?! I did finish it Mrs Pansy" stammered John feebly, picking up his fallen book. John quickly skimmed the pages to the assignment and to his horror and dismay found it was as blank as a slate.
Mrs Pansy upon seeing Johns eyes widen in exasperation smiled very sweetly and said," Mr Eaves I'm pretty sure you know the way to the principals office by now." John brushed a tear away from his eye and stormed out of the classroom and headed of to the principals office.
"I'm going to have to stop you right there Mr Eaves!" said the new janitor Mark. John turned to see a gaunt and well toned man. "Yes sir " said John as if Mark was was some kind of army general.
Mark chucked and said,"if you want to be successful boy , you will have to drop the euphemism." John laughed meekly and said, "sorry sir it's just that you have an authoritative and unquestioned look about you" Mark smiled and said, "that's why I'm sorry for this boy" lifting up his broomstick, exposing a sharp needle like point and stabbing John with it.
