Disclaimer: I don't own Calvin and Hobbes. I wish I did, though…
Description: When Calvin is chosen as Head Journalist of the school paper, he doesn't want to at first. However, when he learns of the first amendment in history class…Chaos ensues.
This is my first story. Please R&R.

"Sigh…"
A 6-year-old boy, more commonly known as Calvin, with spiky blond hair was sitting at his desk
"Same boring classroom, same boring English projects...same boring life." he thought.
"All right, class, our new English project is to run the school paper for two months." said his teacher, Miss Wormwood, a woman with graying hair, a smoking problem, and a constantly decreasing patience with Calvin.
Calvin just sighed again, although some of his classmates cheered.
"I'm now going to hand out your positions. Pick them out of this hat."
All over the classroom, kids were picking small slips of paper with their jobs written on them out of the hat.
"Ooh…I'm a photographer!" said a girl with brown hair and mixed feelings toward Calvin's hyperactiveness, named Susie.
Whispers of things like "I'm a comic writer" and "What job did you get?" echoed around the classroom.
Calvin looked down at his slip.
Head Journalist
was written on it.
He resisted the urge to yell "BORING!" at the top of his lungs.
