It was another boring morning. Or so some of the girls thought so. Only Gabriella and Sharpay really knew what was going to happen. Just then, Troy, Chad, Jason, Zeke, and Ryan walked up, and wrapped their arms around their respective girlfriend's waists.
"What are you guys planning to do this time?" Martha asked.
"Oh, you'll see," the guys replied, with smirks on their faces. Gabriella and Sharpay also giggled, because they knew what was going to happen.
Several minutes later, the bell rang, and the gang headed into Ms. Darbus' room for homeroom.
When they walked in, they sat down, and began to talk, while they waited for Ms. Darbus to make her usual flourishing-like entrance into the room.
Several minutes later, Ms. Darbus came into the room in her usual morning fashion.
"Good morning, class! We have an exciting time together ahead of us! First, we will study some quotes that famous people have said. Then tomorrow, we will continue the very interesting discussion." The class groaned. They didn't really feel like studying quotes that famous people said.
After taking attendance, Ms. Darbus handed everyone in the class a sheet of paper. It contained about 5-7 quotes on it. "These are the quotes that we will be studying for now," she said. "Then we will go on and study some more of them. Now let's read through the sheet."
Quotes by Famous People
'Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.'- Langston Hughes
'The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.'- Arthur C. Clarke
'People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.'- St. Augustine, 354-430
'Far better is it do dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even thought checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neighter enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.'- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
'Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.'- Ambrose Redmoon
"Now, we shall start with the quote by Langston Hughes." The class groaned. For the next several minutes, Ms. Darbus droned on about that one quote.
Finally, Chad was fed up with hearing Ms. Darbus drone on about quotes from famous people. So he decided that it was time for him and the other guys to start what they were going to do that day. Chad gave the signal to Troy, Jason, and Zeke. Ryan was taking part in the next half of Chad's plan. The four guys then quietly pulled bicycle helmets out of their bags, and put them on. The rest of the class then erupted into laughter. Ms. Darbus had been writing something on the board, but shrugged off the laughter.
But when the laughter persisted, she got fed up with it, and decided to turn around to see what the class found so humorous. Upon turning around, she spotted Troy, Chad, Jason, and Zeke wearing bicycle helmets.
"GENTLEMEN!" she yelled. The class immediately stopped laughing, and the four looked at her.
"Yes, Ms. Darbus?" Jason, asked, trying to seem innocent.
"I want you four to take off those bicycle helmets right now," she said.
"But Ms. Darbus," the four replied. "We always need to wear bicycle helmets as part of our astronaut training," they said, with a straight face. The rest of the class broke out into laughter, and the four cracked smiles, and started laughing along.
"Take them off NOW!" Ms. Darbus commanded. The four reluctantly agreed, and slipped the helmets back into their backpacks. Then she decided to continue with that day's lesson.
"Now we will discuss the quote by Arthur C. Clarke," she said. The class groaned, but she continued on, despite the groans coming from the class. Once again, it turned into several minutes of droning on about the quote. Once again, Chad gave a signal, and the guys, including Ryan, got ready to do the next part of Chad's plan. This time, the guys pulled out pens, and disassembled them. They then "accidentally" flipped the ink cartridges from the pens across the room. The rest of the class laughed, then decided to join in.
While Ms. Darbus was talking, she heard the sound of something hitting other things in the classroom. Turning around, she saw her class "accidentally" flipping the ink cartridges from pens across the room.
"CLASS!" she yelled. The class immediately quieted down. "Stop it right now! There will be no more of that in this room!" Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of homeroom. Everyone filed out, and still were laughing a little, because they'd had a great time in homeroom.
