It seemed like a normal morning in Ms. Darbus' homeroom. But that would soon change. When the bell rang, everyone began to file in, and sit in their seats. The tardy bell rang 5 minutes later, and the last of the students came in. Right after that, Ms. Darbus walked in with her usual flourish.
"Good morning class! Today we will begin to talk about different famous poets. Some of them will be: T.S. Eliot, Langston Hughes, E.E. Cummings, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Frost, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe, and Walt Whitman." The class groaned, but grew quiet when Ms. Darbus sent them a glare.
Just then, the intercom crackled, and Principal Matsui came on with the morning announcements. But the announcements were interrupted by 4 guys yelling something. Everyone turned, and began to laugh at Troy, Chad, Jason, and Zeke. They were looking around the ceiling in the room, and saying, "GOD? Is that you?!" The class was roaring with laughter. Ms. Darbus stood at the front of the room, fuming.
"BE QUIET THIS INSTANT!" she screamed. Everyone shut up, because they'd never heard Ms. Darbus yell like that. "Now, we shall begin." The class groaned, but reluctantly got out their notebooks and a pen, so that they could take notes.
The lecture that morning in homeroom was boring everyone out of their minds. Some kids were sleeping, others were aimlessly doodling in their notebooks, while some others were passing notes or trying to do homework for another class. Only the extreme nerds were trying to listen to the lecture.
Finally, the bell rang, and everyone packed up their things, and got out of the room as quickly as they could.
The morning went by quickly, and it was now the lunch period for all the students at East High. The gang was currently sitting at their usual table, talking about how their mornings went. Especially homeroom.
"Dude," Chad began. "Darbus' lecture was so boring this morning!" Everyone then began to voice their comments.
"Even I agree," Gabriella stated. "I mean, her lectures aren't very exciting most of the time, but this morning's lecture was downright horrible."
Everyone else agreed, adding their thoughts on how horrible they thought that Darbus' lecture had been that morning in homeroom. A silence then came over the group, but it was soon broken by Jason asking a question.
"So, which rule are we gonna do next?" he asked.
"Number 21," Chad replied, and a sly smile came onto his face, along with the faces of Troy, Jason, Zeke, and Ryan. Soon, the bell rang, and everyone got up to head back to class.
That afternoon, everyone was wondering how the guys would do the next one that they'd planned. They soon got their answer. It was sixth period, and the gang was in Algebra 2, with Mr. Riley. Just then, the intercom crackled, and Principal Matsui came on with some extra announcements.
"Teachers, sorry to interrupt your teaching. But I have received several announcements, and I'm going to share them with you." Just then, the class heard 5 guys yelling something. "NO NOT THE VOICES AGAIN! MAKE THEM STOP!!" The whole class began to laugh, along with Mr. Riley. As the annoucements continued, so did the yelling. "NO NOT THE VOICES AGAIN! MAKE THEM STOP!!" The class then began to roar with laughter.
Finally, Mr. Riley was done having fun, and wanted to get down to business. "Ok, guys, that's enough. You need to stop now." Everyone quieted down, and turned to listen to Mr. Riley. "I appreciated your guys' humor, but we need to get down to business now. We can have some more fun another day. Ok?" Everyone nodded and smiled, glad that Mr. Riley was such a cool teacer. They just wondered what would be tried next in his class.

Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! I'm going to try and really write the chapters for Please Be Okay!, Outside Looking In, and this story, so that I can have them done by Friday, when my other story premieres with its' first chapter. So sadly, this story, along with the other two, are drawing to a close. :( But you guys might like the new story, Life Is A Mess, along with a collection of random one-shots that have yet to get a story title. :) Look out for the new things that I'll be doing throughout the rest of the year.
