CH1 Attack of Mrs. Hertz the teacher creature
It was a normal, boring day at Kadic Jr. High and I was in my science class turning my test into origami as usual when the bell finally rang.
"Times up!" Mrs. Hertz shouted to the class. "Hand in your tests now!" Yawning, I slowly got up from my desk and turned in my origami test. "Odd," she shouted at me, "what is the meaning of this?" She held up my test.
"It's my new best time Mrs. Hertz! I made this in thirty seconds! I had fun studying it last night!" She glared at me.
"This kind of behavior my be allowed in art class, but here we do our work!" She got out a wooden ruler. "Stick out your hands, Della Robbia!"
"What for?" I held out my hands wondering why. And then, SMACK! "OWWW!" I shouted. She had hit me with the ruler, and hard! My hands were slowly turned a deep shade of red.
"How do you like that? It hurts doesn't it? THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO WASTE YOUR TEST TIME ON CREATIVITY!" She continued shouted at me. I couldn't take it any more. I balled my right hand into a fist. And then, BAM! I popped her a hard one right in her eye.
"DELLA ROBBIA!" She went berserk after I had hit her in the face, however, I looked into her eyes and saw no Eye of XANA. This wasn't XANA's doing. This was pure anger. She grabbed a glass beaker from off of her desk and as soon as she picked it up, I kicked her hard in the kneecap. "AHHHHH!" She chased around threateningly waving the glass beaker at me. Luckily, my three friends Ulrich, Jeremy, and Aelita were waiting for me and saw Mrs. Hertz trying to kill me. Ulrich jumped into the fight while Jeremy and Aelita went to pull the fire alarm. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring! The fire alarm blared throughout the school and everyone rushed out, except for Mrs. Hertz who was still chasing us. Luckily, a group of kids stampeded by the classroom and Ulrich and I joined up with them. Mrs. Hertz continued to follow us. Fortunately, she lost us in the mess of students and everyone rushed outside.
The firefighters came and announced that there was no fire and this was a prank. They were half-wrong. Unfortunately for us, Mrs. Hertz had found us and took us to the principal.
"What is the meaning of this?" Mr. Delmas shouted at Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita, and me.
"They were attacking me!" Mrs. Hertz lied in whimper, "Odd and Ulrich were physically hurting me! Jeremy and Aelita had pulled the fire alarm so everyone would be distracted and no one would see them beating me."
"WHAT!" I shouted.
"Well, Odd, I suppose you have to tell your side of the story," Mr. Delmas said.
"Okay, then, it all started at the test…" he told Mr. Delmas the entire story, leaving out the parts that involved himself and Ulrich using violence to defend themselves from Mrs. Hertz.
"Hmmm… I see," Mr. Delmas said. "However, I am afraid that Mrs. Hertz does not lie, and that you all have lied many times. I do not trust you all. So I will assign you each a week of suspension in the library doing homework." They all groaned at this. "But don't worry, my lovely daughter Sissy also has a suspension and will be joining you."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed.
