        Silently walking in the hallway,I was thinking to myself. That was before I accidentally bumped into Mr. Bank's door,my second block teacher.I knocked on the door with three low knocks. The door then was opened by my classmate/best friend Zy'Eria.
        I walked in the classroom to my seat."Hey,why are you late,Katelin,"Brook asked? I relized what she asked and asked,"Was I that late?"Brook answered back with a, "Yes." My attention then turned twords Jabari who was whispering my name."Katelin,Katelin.Pst."I then answer back with a "What is it?" "Can you tell Brook that Robin Hood isn't real,"Jabari asked? Brook then made a combat disagreeing saying,"No,Katelin,tell Jabari the correct history that Robin Hood is a real person!"
          I looked at the both of them before speaking."Of course Robin Hood is real,"I said. Jabari looked at me with a confused face."See,I told you Jabari,"Brook said proudly."Yeah,Robin lived in the hood,and he was ghetto. He then ran into his homey Lil' John and asked to make a mix tape,and Lil' John said "YAYEAH!". Then they went to save the queen Queen Latefa,"I said. Brook and Jabari looked at me in total confusion,but soon they just shook it off.
     Soon afterwards, we got our cronebooks to do our warm up,but we were suprised to see that there was no warm up to do. I was kind of happy and curious. I tired to figure out why,but I was distracted by the sound of shooting and bombing and Brook and Jabari screaming. I quickly close my cronebook and look at Brook and Jabari frightenly and yelled."What's wrong?!." "Oh,we were just playing Fort Night,"Brook stated plainly. "Y'all sacared me! I thought y'all were y'all's head shot off or something," I scolded at them."Oh,wow, Katelin,if we were to get shot in the head,don't you think that our blood would splat all over you,"Jabari said with a little sarcasm. I lightly slapped Jabari on the back of his head and said,"Shut up you over sized Milk Dub."
           At that moment Mr. Banks stood out of his chair and mad his way in front of the classroom to make an announcement from a multi stapled paper that looked like a big,mysterious letter."Listen up class,"Mr. Banks said,"We have been recognized by the city of Atlanta."The entire class then gave Mr. Banks their undivided attention."Yes. Fortunately,we have been chosen,out of the whole state of Geogia,to complete some activities,but not everyone in this school is going. Only some of the sixth graders are going."Whispers of excitement then overwhelmed the room,bu was soon to be ceased."But unfortunately,you will have to stay there for a month,"Mr. Banks finished. The excitement soon died down,and only pale faces were seen looking at each other."I hope I'm not one of the persons going on that trip,"Elizabeth said,very terrified. Everyone's heart could be heard as it was beating over 100 miles per hour as Mr. Banks pulled out a slip with all of the names of all of the sixth grade that was going."The people that are going are Katelin," I slam my head on the desk as he continued reading."Jabari,Elizabeth,Brook,Kylie,Lukas,Makayla,Josh,Hayley,Keria,
Meriella,Zyeria,Braylin,Briana"Mr. Banks then started to read the list from the other classes,"Jude,Savana,and Kelly. Ones that haven't been called,there can be some changes."Time seamed to stop. After Mr. Banks finished,time resumed back.
        After the time skipped,the class and I caught our breath,very exhausted from holding our breaths.I lazily put my head in the palm of my right hand and asked Mr. Banks"When is this activity?" "Tomorrow,"he said."Tomorrow!!!!!!???"Everyone yelled in a unison."Don't forget to ask your parents for permission,"Mr. Banks said camly as he walked out of the classroom. The bell then ranged.
