Speak

Trouble

I stand on the stage with nothing to say. nothing to do but stand behind the podium. someone thought that it would be funny if they signed me up for student council. I had to give a speech which one, I didn't have and two, I was incapable of making sounds come from my mouth at this very moment. I felt frozen, stuck to were I stood and i felt shaky. I imagined looking at myself pale, speechless, and full of anxiety stand on a stage in front of the whole school. eventually the teachers kicked me off the stage saying I was 'wasting time' or 'in the way'. I wanted to go home to be alone in my room with a book or maybe my iPod. I sat with the other students who all looked at me as I looked at the floor. I could tell they were talking about me, but I just sat there with my blank, emotionless stare that I get when I am nervous. I am unable too look any where but at my feet. Whoever wrote my name on the sign-up sheet is a real jerk.
