Getting stuck
By Fialii Futi and Irwin Mangaoa
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
“Grandma?”, I asked, eyes still closed.
I took a peek out of one eye and saw it was only my dumb alarm.
Man, I was just about to make out with the hottest girl, Ava!
I saw it was not worth trying to get to the part where our lips touched, so I just threw on some clothes, and got ready to face the day. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. The toothpaste was a bit too minty for my liking, and for me, it was like eating Wasabi. I washed my face with a flannel, packed my lunch, packed my textbooks, and went out the door.
RRRIIINNNGGG!!!
I took my place in class, third-row second seat to the left.
Mr. Waller did the roll.
“Irwin.”
“Here.”
“Xavier.”
“Here.”
“Adeline.”
“Here.”
“Ava.”
“Here.”
Ava had long, silky black hair, followed by cute brown eyes. Her lips were as red as roses, and her skin was soft and smooth.
I was daydreaming when Mr. Waller called my name.
“Irwin. I believe you have detention, am I wrong?”.
“Right now?”
I knew it was a rhetorical question, so I reluctantly put on my bag and went out the door.
Detention was in the cafeteria, and to my disbelief, Harry and Bethlehem weren’t in their usual seats.
“Good morning Mrs. Patel”, I said with as much enthusiasm as I could muster.
All I got was a subtle nod.
I saw an empty seat, but to be honest, all of them were empty.
I started walking and slipped on a banana peel.
I quickly recovered and sat in my chair.
Mrs. Patel went out the door, and I heard a clatter of keys.
I assumed it was nothing.
But I could’ve been there all night if the Janitor hadn't found me...
Fialii gave me his ideas, wrote this, and then I changed some bits and bobs up and added a few describing words here and there, and minor things like the Italic in one of the first sentences.
