Main event: Ellis' first time smoking a jay.

POV: Keith

Time period: Sophomore year of high school.


This one time, I talked Ellis into smoking weed with me at the bus stop before school. At first he didn't want to, but he gave in when I started makin fun of him. We were there a good 20 minutes just havin a good old time before the bus showed up. Everything seemed fine until we went to English class. We all had to read the same book and this one kid was readin a passage that said, 'Steady as she blows' about some sailin thing.

Well, me and Ellis didn't think about it as a sailin thing. As soon as that girl read it, we both started laughin. At first it was just a chuckle but then it didn't stop and before long we were both laughing so hard we couldn't breathe and Ellis was rolled up in a ball on the floor holdin his stomach because laughing started to hurt.

The teacher got real mad and yelled at us and then went on to have a complete nervous breakdown. Come to think, I kinda feel bad about that one. Our teacher was goin through some things. His wife just left him for her prison penpal, his daughter got knocked up by my cousin, and he was gonna lose his house. Poor guy. We were such dicks. I mean all that stuff wasn't our fault but I guess that guy's cheese could only stay on his cracker for so long and that day was the end of his grasp. We just gave him a shove toward losing it.
