English class is ruining my life.
Grr.
Yesterday my English teacher closes the door after everybody's inside, and walks up to the front of the room.
"Warren," Mrs. Allman says, "I was told that you were caught cheating on the quiz yesterday."
Warren looks absolutely shocked.
"And Maggie," she continues, "I was told that you knew Warren cheated and chose not to tell me." At this point I'm like WTF lady - I didn't do any of it. I had no idea who told her this, but I had no idea that Warren cheated. And at our school, if you're accused of anything bad even if you're innocent, you get ISS. So I knew that I was toast. But how did I lose her trust?? I thought that she liked me. Was it the kiss wuth Taylor that made her hate me?
"And I need the two people who were sitting next to Warren to go to Dr. Kornegay's office, too." she continues, her face as serious as stone. At this point I get up and stand by the door, ready to snatch the hall pass out of her hands, run down to the office, and plead my innocence. Tears are spilling over my eyes and I'm shaking all over, a hurricane of emotions raging inside me. Mrs. Allman is about to open the door when-
"Warren, you can go sit down." she says. WTF??? "This isn't for real." It takes a moment to sink in. Whe it does, I shake in fury, relieved and shocked. My hands fly to my mouth, and all I can do is gape.
Mrs. Allman notices my tear-streaked face. "Oh, Maggie, I'm so sorry that I upset you like that!" she cries, wrapping my frozen shoulders in a hug.
She proceeds to explain that how the class felt may have been how the accused and bystanders felt in the Crucible. Then we talked about our feelings...
So it was funny afterwards, until Mrs. Allman told the other classes that she felt bad for making me cry. So now everybody's making fun of me....
