So we walk into the classroom after an "interesting" activity called speed dating. It somewhat resembles speed dating, but you're not dating. You're trading information about why some civilizations progress faster than others.
I'm sitting next to Judy, who sees glue on my table and says "Have you ever eaten glue?" to which I respond "no...." "it actually tastes good" she repyls.
I ponder for a moment what this means, then say carefully "I dare you to eat a fingerfull."
"what's a fingerfull...?"
"just enough glue to fit on the tip of your finger."
she reaches for the glue, and I see my History teacher out of the corner of my eye. I remember getting in trouble a few days ago with her for throwing a note to my friend who's all the way across the room one day after she had finished the class, so I decide it was a bad idea, and since I see Judy actually intends to eat it I whisper sharply "Actually, I was just kidding. Don't eat the glue" after which I start paying attention to the person talking, a girl sitting a few rows away from me. But then I peek over to see if Judy's put down the glue and I hear my teachers booming voice talking in my general direction. "Judy, if you take out glue use it for something important...." she pauses, allowing people to giggle "...not just to see your finger print." And then she continues.
"Well, get rid of it!" I whisper to Judy, not sure what she'll do with it. And then she does it. She sticks her finger in her mouth and actually eats the glue!
Now I know Judy's weird; she went to my middle school and it's a tradition for us to share a Hisotry class. We're always distracting each other because neither of us really enjoy History all that much, but this has got to be the funniest thing I've ever seen her do! I feel as though I'll fall out of my chair laughing, but I bundle it up, hoping my teacher won't see. Unfortunately, our teacher is a Hawk and sees it as soon as the glue touches her tonge. "Excuse me, Judy?" she said, in a louder tone this time, "Did you just eat that glue?"
I hear a squeel of laughter from the class, hushed when she talks again to see what will happen next.
Well, here's what happens next: I hear Judy cry out "She made me do it!" and I know she's pointing at me.
My teacher looks down, obviously contemplating what the hell she can do with a student who just ate glue, and a student who just made a student eat glue. I guess she's not quite sure who's fault it is and who was really the stupid one. Finally she looks up again. "Alright. Obviously you two can't sit together. Sarah? Move over..." she looks at the other side of the room, where an asian kid who also went to my Middle School is waving his arms back and fourth. Not two weeks ago he was moved there because he couldn't sit next to an annoying kid named Alex (who by the way... also went to my MIddle School) "Him. Switch spots with him." At this point the people in my little group of friends start roaring with laughter, unable to hold back the tears from the irony of it all. Even I, who was just wrongly accused, can't help but laugh as I get up from the desk at which I've collapsed to walk over to the new one. "And Ms. Sarah? I want you to know that when I'm filling out the attendance/participation report for your parents, I'll have written on it 'makes other students eat glue.'" And before I can hear my terrified thoughts the sound of hysterics from the whole class drowns it out.
It seems as though the laughter will never stop, but as soon as it quiets down she continues as if nothing happened. I still feel like I'm about to explode with laughter and finally that feeling settles. For a second I think "wow... my parents aren't going to like that..." but then I reconcider and realize that no matter what happens, it was worth it. That was the funniest thing that's happened in History. XD
After class I got to talk to her and she finally said that I can go. I hope that means she won't mention it... confused
