1 The Shadow Duck
Andy walked into her English class and sat down. "This so sucks," she said to herself as the teacher walked in and closed the door.
"Hi, Mr. Kingston!" the class chorused.
Mr. Kingston grinned. "Hey, guys. Alright, now where were we in Othello?"
The class turned to the right pages, and Andy glanced to her right to figure out where they were. Mr. Kingston glanced at his role sheet and said: "Um, Andrea Knight… would you please read the last half of Iago's speech at the bottom of the page?"
Andy stood up and another student offered to lend her their book. "Nah, I got it," Andy smiled at the girl. Then from memory recited:
Were I the Moor I would not be Iago.
In following him I follow but myself;
Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty,
But seeming so for my peculiar end.
For when my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart
In compliment extern, 'tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at. I am not what I am.
The class applauded and Mr. Kingston look rather impressed. Andy nodded, sat down, and put her head on the desk for the rest of the class period.

"That so sucked!" Andy exclaimed to Erin as they changed into their skating gear. "But… I am a little proud of myself for remembering that speech from four years ago." She tightened her knee brace before pulling her pants leg back down.
"Dude, you should have been in my Health class. It was like total Z- Fest." Erin tied her long hair brown hair back.
"Sounds like fun." Andy grinned. "Trade ya."
"No way!" Erin finished lacing her skates and stood up.
"Why not? English can be fun…" The two girls playfully argued as they went out of the locker room and onto the ice.
