Chaos Pen: Chapter 3 "...and some of you may have noticed that Mr. Turner has returned. Unfortunately, the classes will still be cancelled..." I was about to fall asleep. As a matter of fact, I think I was already half-asleep. The morning announcements were extremely boring. I'm was surprised the announcer didn't fall asleep talking about how much 'school spirit' we have. RRRRIIIIINGGGGGG! That's when the bell rang (finally) and I was off to my next class, which had to be geography. And it just so happened that someone I despised the most was in that class. Someone that I had been looking forward to seeing ever since the day before. The day when I came up with my plan. Of course, there she was...at her locker #109. Surrounded by a group of friends, as usual. Lindsey Baxter. Giggling, flirting and talking about her hair. I know you've heard of those flirty laughs, right? 'Oh stop it Brian, you make me blush!' That's basically what this conversation sounded like from where I was standing. She was flirting with the cutest guy in school, Brian Williams. He was the quarterback of the school football team and every single girl liked him. I had to admit, that I kind of had a little crush on him, too. As I was walking by, Lindsey gave me a dirty look. Instead of looking at her in a nasty! way, I smiled at her. She looked at me again, puzzled. She was probably wondering why I was grinning at her. But, I politely smiled again and walked into the classroom. Of course, she HAD to sit next to me. "Now, class," the teacher began, "open your textbooks to chapter 8 and we'll begin reading about agriculture in different countries..." I glanced at Lindsey. She was sitting there, in her seat, chewing gum and twirling her hair. All of a sudden, "What are you, the Blair Witch? Stop staring at me!" I turned away. I was smiling again. I was so happy about my plan. That afternoon, we found out we had a field trip to a beach (we were studying underwater life in Science). Of course, I wore my favourite bathing suit. It was a purple and green tye-dye one. I thought I had the best looking bathing suit, until Lindsey came. Her's was a brown, leopard print halter top. I felt bad until I remembered something. This is when my plan came into action. I brought my pad of paper and the magical pen (which I stuffed in my beach bag in case of an opportunity). As we climbed on the bus, I found a seat next to Janet. "Okay Janie," Janet whispered, "let me get this straight. You are going to write Lindsey Bathing Suit Tragedy on your pad of paper? What good will that do?" "Well I'm hoping something happens to her $100 bathing suit. Maybe...it...will...rip?" " Well, we'll know when it happens." Janet said. I was about to take my pad of paper out when Lindsey walked by me. I smiled at her again (I was getting good at that). She smirked at me and gave a disgusting groan. This is going to be the beginning of a wonderful friendship! I thought. When we got to the beach, we had to pick a partner to go and explore with. I chose Janet, of course. Lindsey chose Brian. We were all given scuba masks and a snorkel. But before we went into the water, I snatched my beach bag, took out my pen and paper and wrote Lindsey Bathing Suit Tragedy on the very first page. The letters seemed to be sparkling. That probably means it's working, I thought. Janet and I rushed over to a big rock on the ocean because Janet told me that most marine life likes to hide under things. As we splashed into the water, I noticed Lindsey practically dragging Brian with her. "Come on Brian! Let's go see the cool...fish!" Dimwit... I thought to myself. As we skimmed the water, Janet and I could see everything! Pretty Angelfish and all kinds of colourful creatures! There were hermit crabs and clams and sea slugs. Anything you could possible imagine! It was beautiful. Suddenly, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" It was Lindsey. She was rushing out of the water and racing up the beach looking for the teacher. "AHHH! Miss, Miss! There's a crab on my new $100 bathing suit and he wont let go! Get him off, get him off!" As the teacher tried to pry the crabs claws loose from the end of Lindsey's halter, RRRRIIIIPPPP! Lindsey's top ripped right off! She screeched again, covering herself and running to the nearest bathroom! Everyone was laughing. But not as hard as I was. I was roaring with laughter! The pen did work and know I knew for sure. Janet was right. We could change the world with the pen. My life could be better. I knew I was sounding a bit selfish, but it was true! And Lindsey, she had no idea what was going on! Sucker! I thought, Serves he right!. I looked over at Janet and said, "It worked! Lindsey's through!" Janet chuckled in agreement. Like I said, this was going to be the beginning of a wonderful friendship! | |
