The bell rang for a brand new day. Green rushed into the class room and burst through the door just seconds before that bell. He panted heavily and bent over the box he was carrying, trying to catch his breath. Clutching the box he grinned triumphantly. The box he was carrying held one of the most awesome things a boy of his age could possibly have and it was the day any little kid looked forward to. The day when you could bring in anything and not get in trouble, it was show and tell day.
The teacher looked over at Green and coughed trying to get his attention. Green looked up at her, getting the hint he walked over to one of the tables and sat down. The teacher started a quick introduction to the day.
Green scanned the room trying to find the boy he had just met yesterday, Red was his name if Green could remember correctly. He looked around and eventually found the doll like boy sitting off to the side away from most the class. Green debated on going over to sit by him, but this thought was soon interrupted.
"Green Oak, pay attention!" He flinched and looked at the teacher, who had her arms crossed, tapping her foot impatiently. She continued her introduction, making sure Green was paying attention. After she finished she looked around the room looking for the first person to call up. "Joey, how about you go first." She smiled.
A little boy with a blue cap, yellow t-shirt, and blue shorts stood up and walked to the front of the room with a confident strut. This boy was defiantly ready for Show and Tell. He set the cage that he had been carrying down on the table and grinned. The teacher took a step to the side and sat down in her chair.
The children in the room all leaned forward in amazement of just the cage. Joey grinned at the attention. "My name is Joey and for show and tell I brought the best thing ever in the whole entire world!"
Green kept his back to the seat knowing that he had this kid beat and knew that whatever this kid had wasn't as grand as he thought it was. All the other children leaned forward wondering what this thing could possibly be. There were only two children who didn't really seem all that interested, one was Green and the other Red.
Joey grinned more and pulled out a small brown and white rat. "This is my amazing pet rat! This rat isn't at all like any rat you've ever seen!" Joey let the rat slip through one hand to the next. "This rat is in the top percentage of rats! He's faster, stronger, and far more awesome than any other rat!" Joey continued to rattle on about how awesome his rat was until the teacher had to stop him because his turn was over. Joey put the rat back in its cage and went back to his seat to sit down.
The Teacher continued to call on kids and one by one they came up to the front of the room and shared the thing they brought and explained why they brought it. At long last the teacher called on Green. He got up and went to the front of the room and took off the top of the box he had been carrying and took out a remote control. "My name is Green and for show and tell I brought this." Green grinned and turned on the controller and an RC Helicopter flew up out of the box. All the kids gasped and stared at the Helicopter in amazement. Green had the helicopter fly around the room. "I brought it because its just too awesome not to show." He said with confidence, he glanced over at Red seeing if he had amazed him with the awesomeness of the helicopter. He just about pouted when he saw the boy just sitting there.
The teacher called an end to Green's turn and he put the helicopter back in the box with the remote and put the lid back on the box and went back to sit down and sat down next Red this time.
The teacher rolled her eyes slightly and looked over at Red. "Red it's your turn." Red shook his head slightly. "You didn't bring anything?" He shook his head slightly again. "You sure you don't have anything, if you don't you're going to have to take a zero for this assignment." Lightly, he nodded. "Alright..." The teacher called another kid to the front of the room after making something down on her clipboard.
Green looked over at Red after he felt the teacher not looking over at them. Red had his head hung and his hands in his lap. He was picking at his finger nail and was sniffling very lightly.
Green raised an eyebrow and poked the little boy's arm. Red lightly and softly winced at the pressure but didn't look up at all. "Hey Loser." Green whispered so Red could only hear. Red didn't move at all. "Loser." He whispered again trying to get his attention and failing again.
"Green Oak!" Green jumped and looked back to the room. The teacher was tapping her foot yet again and pointed to an open seat at another table. Green got up with a sigh of annoyance and picked up the box. He shuffled over to that seat and sat down crossing his arms, puffing out his cheeks. "Now pay attention!" She shifted her attention back to the kids doing show and tell. The rest of the day Green was stuck sitting away from Red. In the back of his mind, he was excited for the next day to come so he could talk to Red again. Though something seemed off, but he didn't know what. He decided that was the first thing he was going to ask about when he saw him again tomorrow.
Author's Note
Well how about that, I stopped being lazy and finished this part before next year. Yeah I got rather bored and Wolfy was bugging me earlier to finish the next chapter. So I wrote it just now. I have word again so not all that many spelling mistakes. Probably some grammer ones though. Expect the next chapter to be a bit shorter than this one. I totally did a Joey joke because it was too good to pass up.
Enjoy the chapter
