Chapter 1

"It was August 22, 2000-something. The Academic Team was just getting started for the year, but the coach quit because of some falling out. Apparently she hated the kids. So, being a licensed Academic coach, I was more than happy to volunteer. However, on my way to Glascott's office, I ran into another eager teacher."

"Hey, Jeff," C.B. said outside of Glascott's office. "What's up?"

"I'm volunteering to be the Academic coach," Jeff replied.

"No need to do that," C.B. said. "I will be volunteering."

"I actually really want to do it," Jeff said.

"I've been wanting it for years," C.B. said.

"I'm a licensed Academic coach," Jeff said.

"So am I," C.B. said.

"Look," Jeff said. "You already sponsor seven clubs. Please let me have this one."

"No," C.B. said.

"C.B.," Jeff said. "I'm the only teacher who doesn't sponsor a club. I really want this."

"I want it more," C.B. said.

"No," Jeff said. "I want it more."

"I want it more!" C.B. shouted louder.

"No!" Jeff shouted. "I want it more!"

"I deserve it!" C.B. shouted.

"For a hip teacher, you're sure being a jerk!" Jeff shouted.

"This is something I've wanted since the 90's!" C.B. shouted. "Plus, you can't just waltz into this school and ask to sponsor a club!"

"Yes I can, I think!" Jeff shouted.

Principal Glascott walked out of the office.

"You two!" Glascott shouted. "My office, now!"

"C.B. and I had a mature conversation with Principal Glascott."

"I should be the new Academic coach!" C.B. shouted. "You know I have all the qualifications!"

"Yes I do," Glascott said.

"I have the qualifications!" Jeff shouted. "And he already has seven clubs! I just want one!"

"Jeff," Glascott said. "C.B. really has wanted this for a long time. We have several other clubs that need sponsors."

"But I want this one!" Jeff shouted.

"I'm sorry," Glascott said. "But I'm going to have to go with C.B."

"I was completely mature about it."

Jeff smiled, quietly walked out of the school, and got into his car. After he shut the door, he screamed.

"It's not fair!" Jeff shouted. "He has seven clubs! Seven other clubs! It's not fair!"
