It’s a normal day at school. It's cold outside the air in the room is thick as I walk into the classroom and sit next to my only friend, Maniplus Cozbi.
Then Ms. Opheilia says good morning, class. Today we will be solving a math problem Gale,could you please come up to the board and solve the first one? .
I am thinking about something and don’t notice when the teacher calls my name Gale! Gale.I then snapped to attention,yes, Ms. Ophelia.
Could you please solve the problem on the board?
I then go to the board and start trying to solve it. I get so focused on the problem that I automatically solve all of them. When I finish,everyone is looking at me weirdly even
Maniplus who gives me a mean look. Then Ms. Opheilia says that is good, Gale.
I then return to my seat.
Manipluis asks what you were doing.
I was solving the problems.
That is so weird, says Maniplus. Anyway, I heard Henry Fitzroy has pimples everywhere.
That's so gross, I say back, but deep down inside, I feel bad, but whatever Maniplus says goes. Then it's time for lunch. Maniplus tells me to spy on Anne Rodrigo, so I do, I then report back to her. I tell her everything I overhear. I feel like this is wrong, but I don't say anything. Then Maniplus gives me a bag of sour patch kids and tells me I deserve it. I then tell her I feel like what I am doing is wrong..
She then says you are too sensitive; are you forgetting that everyone badmouths you behind your back? I know they do, but does this make this right?
Of course, it does say’s maniplus your getting back at them. We then go to our next class, which is AP history.
Mr. Hoover says now which U.S. president was.
Did I forget to mention that Mr. Hoover is Herbert Hoover, the 31st president? He decided to dedicate the rest of his life to teaching. You are the 31st president, Mr. Hoover.
Correct, Ms. Alif. Mr. Hoover commonly calls me by my last name.
Maniplus then whispers to me that we need to prank Mr. Hoover. But isn't that wrong, I say.
Gale It’s a harmless prank, says Maniplus.
I then say, "I guess if it’s harmless, it’s alright.
That's the spirit, says Maniplus. Then Mr. Hoover goes to use the bathroom. Now is our chance, says Maniplus; she then hands me a can of Funfetti. Then Mr. Hoover returns, and by that time we are back in our seats. Other people decided to help us cover the classroom in Funfetti. It is a colorful display. With red,orange,yellow,and blue funfeti.
Mr. Hoover yells, Who did this? I then start thinking that this is wrong. Maniplus has a smirk on her face. I then realize I could have a better friend than Maniplus, and I decide I need to get better.
I then stood up and say,me and manipulus did it, Mr. Hoover.Mr. Hoover then looks surprised at my honesty,
Maniplus stands up and shouts that you're supposed to be my friend.
Yeah, well, friends don't use each other to do bad things.
“Your a bad friend,” shouts Manuplis.
“ No, you're a bad friend,” I shout.
She then says, You're such a nerd.
Thank you, I say.
She then says that was meant to be an insult.
I know, I say.
Student’s students calm down. Gale, for telling the truth, you will not be punished. Manpulis, you will go to the headmaster's office. Manpulis then goes to the headmaster's office, never to be seen again.
