Chapter 4:
Mean-Face Time
When the teacher finally letted us lift up our heads, she gave a letchure on not throwing things.
A 'letchure" is when a grown up tells us why you shouldn't do something and it usually involves screaming.
And then the principal (who is the boss of the school) came. And he gave us another letchure. And he made mean faces at us.
I asked Sora if this was "mean-face" time. She wasn't sure.
So I asked Matt, "Izzit 'mean-face' time?". Only guess what? He didn't answer me.
So I leaned in closer and said, "Izzit 'mean-face' time?"
And guess what? He made a mean-face at me!
I smiled. "So it is, right?"
He made an even meaner face at me. At he scooted his chair over.
"Matt, I'd kinda like an answer here," I explained.
Then, he said real nasty, "Leave me alone!"
I got up close to him and said really loudly, "YEA, ONLY HERE'S THE PROBLEM: I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING!"
"LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU MORON!" Matt yelled.
"YOU TWO BOYS!" The principal shouted suddenly.
I felt kinda squishy in my tummy. 'Cause maybe we were supposed to be listening to the lechure.
"WHAT ARE YOUR NAMES?!" He said real meanish.
"Tai Kamiya," I said real softly.
"Yomato Ishida," Matt said.
The teacher stood up. "Both of you, Time-Out! Now!"
I felt pretty sadish. And Matt looked real mad at me. We stooded up and walked over to time out. The chairs were pretty uncomfortable.
Matt was pretty mad at me. "You big dummy! You got me in trouble again!"
I felt bad. "I'm sorry."
He stucked his tongue out at me.
I got angry. "Why are you such a meany-boy?! Don't your Mommy and Daddy tell you to be nice to people?"
He got real sad. "My Mommy and Daddy…are always fighting and being mean to each other…"
I got real quiet. "I didn't know…I'm sorry."
He didn't say anything.
