The Star Chronicles

After the break, we all filed back into the classroom. I could hardly contain my excitement as everyone made their way to their desks. My back slid against the hard cold plastic chair. The air was silent and I could hear the seconds pass away as I waited for a sign. Minutes passed. There was no shriek or cry. I looked behind me in the direction of her desk. There she sat, happily doodling in her notebook. "Come on, come on" I whispered. I couldn't take it. "Psst" I tried to get her attention. The teacher was grading papers at her desk and the rest of the kids began talking quietly. "Hey, can I see one of your beany babies?" I asked her. The word beany babies caught the ear of all of my female peers and they each got up and made their way over to the desk. "Sure" she said as she reached into her desk. This is it! My heart was pounding and my face wanted to break from the force of my evil smile. "Girls! Back to your desk!" the teacher shouted. My nemesis then snapped her hands back onto her desk and paid full attention to the teacher. I gloomily made my way back to my seat.
