Just then the bell rang and everyone turned to go in. Since it was the first day back at school, no one had been assigned lockers yet or even knew what teachers they would have. All they knew at this point was the name and room number of the teacher that would serve as their homeroom teacher.
One of Patrick’s friends from last year, Fred, said “I sure hope we don’t get old Mrs. Ellinger for English this year. Man I can’t stand that woman!”
“She’s O.K., you just have to learn what makes her happy and go with that.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, you know, last year you did everything you could to torment her, no wonder she was always on your case” laughed Patrick.
“Yeah, well I ain’t gonna kiss her butt!”
Then Patrick said “Well I never had a problem with her; do you think I kissed her butt?”
“Uh…well no, I….I wasn’t saying that.”
“Just try not to get on her nerves, and maybe she won’t get on yours” said Patrick.
“Yeah, well maybe we won’t get the old bat again this year.”
