Chapter 2: Something to Show You
Franny stands up from her desk and walked slowly towards the front of the room.
She worked very hard on this report, but the other kids were already mocking her when she hasn't even presented it yet.
She wants them to believe her. But, they all think she is crazy.
She sighed while placing the box on the lab table and taking all the frogs out. She set Frankie directly in front of the group of frogs.
One of the kids yelled out, "I told you it was going to be about frogs."
Everybody started laughing again.
"Quiet, show your respect to Franny. Franny, please continue," Mrs. Gilbert spoke out.
Franny cleared her throat and looked at her frogs and then at the students.
I can do this, she thought.
"Um hi, my presentation will be about frogs."
Well duh, don't you think they see the frogs on the table? Talk about the facts not the oblivious.
"Frogs are very unique creatures with extraordinary abilities. From being able to jump twice their body length to secretion of mucus, frogs have many adaptations in survival."
Franny paused and looked at Frankie then back at her class.
Should she continue? No one was laughing.
They looked sort of surprise, perhaps it's because these are facts that have been proven.
She continues, "Frogs live in various climates and terrains, including rainforest, marshlands, subtropical, and many more. They live on all the continents except Antarctica."
She sighed. Ugh… these facts are boring, but no one questions them because they are proven.
"There are many different species of frogs. There are the red eye tree frogs, the poison arrow frogs, and the bull frogs are just few of the examples. However…"
Franny paused again.
All these facts she had just said, were all proven. Everybody believes them because they make logical sense. And no one questions something that makes logical sense.
But, her theory was something that seems…
impossible.
Or is it just seem that way because it hasn't been proven.
She wants to prove that theory to the whole world.
However, no matter what she says, no matter how hard she tries, they don't believe her.
She also has a theory right now about what is going to happen with the last soon to be fact about her presentation.
Franny took a deep breath and spoke the last sentence she was anticipating to say as well preparing for the outcome of it. "However, frogs have one ability that no one believes is true and that is…"
The classmates begin to stir. Some of them were anticipating this as well.
"…they have musical abilities."
She said it. Her theory. Her belief. Her passion.
Now it's the countdown of either a) a sense of inspiration or most likely b) humiliation
Three… Franny closed her eyes.
Two… She took a deep breath and prepare for her sentence.
One…
Silence
Well that was unexpected.
However, the silence quickly ended with the screech of laughter from the whole class.
Words of crazy, weird, loony, dumb, and other words related to each other were yelled out.
Then someone threw a paper ball at her and soon the whole began to throw paper balls.
Mrs. Gilbert yelled at them, "Stop that this instant, I am not picking all this up. Franny your presentation is over now."
Franny pleaded, "Wait, please, let me just show everybody that they can sing. I been teaching my frogs for a few years now, and they have these abilities. Look, come on Frankie try to cloak a C natural."
Frankie looked at her with full attention. He opened his mouth and out came a C natural.
Franny smiled happily. "He did it see."
"He just croaked. All frogs croak. So that's what like five years of teaching gets you," Brandi shouted, "A single croak and a crazy girl who is still trying."
"NO THAT WAS A NOTE AND I AM NOT CRAZY." Franny's face redden and was about to pounce on her. Suddenly a hand grabbed her.
"ENOUGH," Mrs. Gilbert yelled sternly.
The whole class was silent and staring directly at Franny. Brandi was smiling a little well aware of what is about to happen.
"I don't want anything about this fantasy idea about singing frogs. Franny I want to have a word with you afterschool. I should send you to the principal office for disrupting class, but your efforts into this obscure idea have gone too far. Take your seat now," Mrs. Gilbert said with disapproval.
Franny glance down sadly in shame as she walked up to the table and picked up her frogs, this was expected as always.
Whenever she has something to show them, it always ended up in her humiliation.
And one thing is for certain is that it's hard to prove something when no one believes you.
