Everyone seemed kind of bummed-out, but what else would you expect on the first day of school. After a crazy summer that left all of us floating in a daze hoping for a smooth start to the school year. On the way to school everybody that we passed kept pointing at us talking under their breath. The second that we arrived at the school some kid walked up to me and said. I heard you were killed or something like that. Bill asked the kid "Hey who are you talking to? There isn't anybody there. The kid looked back at me. I gave him the evil eye. It frreaked him out and he split.
As we walked into first period our bubbles were popped. There he was Mr. Clean in the flesh. Bill whispered into my ear. I was kind of hoping that he wouldn't come back ever again. I whispered back." Me two. After we sat down in our seats we were chewing the fat with each other. Then the bell rang. It became as quiet as a morgue in the room. Mr. Clean slammed his book down on his desk in a rage. It sounded like rolling thunder.
Trouble is a teenager's middle name. Remember? You'll laugh out loud as you relive the antics and drama of a crazy group of eight graders.
