You're still sitting down, Quakenbush ," Miss Schwartz screeched, using her so called 'firm voice',

"What did I tell you? Well?"

Mally slouched in her desk, resting her chin on her hand, staring out into space as she tried her best to ignore Miss Schwartz's little tantrum over Candy Quakenbush. Mally sighed. She couldn't understand it. Every week Miss Schwartz would mentally attack (as Mally called it) an innocent student, why she did it…maybe it was because she wasn't married and the teacher never had kids, therefore she wanted to ruin every living kid in her classes that she taught. I mean for all Mally knew she'd probably be next! Mally didn't doubt that Miss Schwartz would pick on her after Candy left for the principles office. Since she was the quietest girl in her school she'd be the perfect victim.

"Go to the principles office, Miss Schwartz?" Candy repeated coolly.

Mally licked her dried lips as she looked up at Candy as she sat in her desk bravely, looking at Miss Schwartz coldly. Really Mally never knew Candy that well, sure they had been paired up a couple of times as partners but like Mally's strange habit she'd never talk unless she was asked a question. Overall…she'd say that they got along pretty well. At least Candy was a better partner then Deborah Hackbarth. Ignorant witch always asking, 'Why don't you talk? Are you growing up to be a nun or something?' Mally shook her head in disgust man she hated that girl-Where was a bucket of water when you needed it.

Pick up your workbook as well, Quakenbush," Spat Miss Schwartz,

"I want you to explain your defacing of school property to the principle," Without a word of protest Candy gathered her stuff and started to walk to the door when the teacher stopped her.

"And give that stupid paper and workbook to me!" she ordered. With a frown Candy responded in a irritable voice,

"I'm not going to destroy them-"

"I said give them to me," Miss Schwartz said menacingly.

Mally bit her lip as she watched the ultimate battle between student and teacher. If it had been Mally and she was in Candy's place right now she'd probably drop her stuff and run. She always was a coward when it came to confrontation or just being in a dangerous/scary situation. If you asked anybody that knew her they'd always mention the time when she was six years old and how she kicked the Easter bunny in the knee and ran out of the mall (literally) screaming her head off . Easter bunnies…good times. Watching Candy set her stuff on her desk and hand her workbook and paper to Miss Schwartz she walked out of the classroom coldly. Mally sat there in her seat watching the fuming teacher that held Candy's stuff and she knew in any minute she'd snap. Fiercely the teacher pointed her chin upwards to the class and snapped icily,

"Well, what are you gawking at? Get back to work!"

Like a scared puppy Mally looked down at her workbook which should have been filled up with her essay but was really covered from top to bottom will strange dark/twisted drawings. Tacking a quick glance at the teacher she immediately flipped through a couple of pages until she was at a blank page. There was no way in hell that she'd doodle in this class ever again…unless when the teacher was gone at the moment or they had a sub. Yep, no doodling for a while.
