High School Stories

Connect the Dots

Year: Sophomore

It was Friday morning, and I was sitting in my British literature class. I was sitting at my desk, waiting for class to start and for the teacher to walk in. Now the teacher, Mrs. G, had two periods where she taught this class, which were two and four. I was in period two, and Mike was in period four.

Now as I mentioned in one of the previous chapters, Mike and I were archenemies and he called me his nemesis. Basically, I was Perry the Platypus and he was Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Anyway, I was waiting for Mrs. G, and then for some reason, Mike decides to walk in and mess around with stuff since he likes to do that sometimes. That day, he went up to one of the white boards, took an expo marker, and drew a guy's you-know-what in connect the dots style. He even numbered the dots.

After he left, I took my phone out and went up to the whiteboard to take a picture of what he did. When Mrs. G came in, everyone was asking her if we were going to "play the game." She then looked at the whiteboard and gave a little chuckle.

She then said, "I should take a picture of that!"

And the whole class said, "<my name> did!"

Mrs. G then looked at me and said "<my name>! Why?"

I proudly spoke up and said "Well, Mike did it, and I wanted to take a picture of it so I could keep it as evidence for you!"

She then smiled and said, "Oh, <my name>, this is why I love you."

So thanks to me, Mike got a detention.
