The famous Fall
He was new, and looked very nervous. He was small in height and appeared all hunched-up, his name was Mr Pollard. Anyway the lesson had begun and most people were just messin about, stealing each others bags and either emptying them all over the floor or just slamming them. Pollard had lost control, and no-one was paying any attention to what he was saying. Until the moment which i believe to be my best memory of school EVER happened. Pollard attempted to squeeze past Alison Rose's chair and the blackboard, but managed to get his minuture troll-like foot caught under a table leg and proceeded to lose his balance. The class-room fell silent, everyone watched in awe as Pollard was falling closer and closer to the ground squeeling as he fell. On the way down he grabbed hold of the nearest thing he could, which transpired to be Alison Rose's hair and jumper in an attempt to regain his balance. Alison was shouting "Arrgh Sir get off, your hurting me", but Pollard was stretching Rose's jumper to the point of it nearly ripping and taking out a clump of her hair in the process. It seemed like an eternity for the broken man to actually hit the floor with a thud, but when he did, a cloud of blackboard-chalk rose all around him. The class-room broke out into the biggest cheer/laughter you had ever heard and carried on without pause for the next 5 minutes with Pollard still on the floor as he had got himself wedged. No-one was listening to his feeble pleas for help, until the door flew open and there stood the witch-like figure of a very angry Mrs Doherty. "Get up you useless man, and everyone shut up" she said. Just as she did this the class-room that she had just left also broke into a massive cheer, which just added insult to injury - FANTASTIC!!! |
