The Way I Started World War Three

By: Hope Tuttle

            "Get that thing away from me!" I yelled. As I pushed Danney away, I looked at the teacher. I was in deep trouble! I got my name on the board and got a parent phone call. Luckily Danney got in deep trouble, too, for putting that nasty cricket in my face!

            As I was doing my classwork I couldn't stop thinking about what he did and I really wanted to pay him back. But there was one problem. My crush was best friends with Danney. If he found out that I did something to Danney, he would hate me for the rest of my entire life! As I turned around I saw him, the cutest guy in the world, Mikie Anderson!

            Ah.. ..splat! A huge gum ball landed right on my beautiful blonde hair! I turned around, and there was Danney cracking up louder than ever! I was the maddest person in the world. My face turned brighter than the hot burning sun. I couldn't believe that Mikie was friends with that dumbo! I had to do something about it! I didn't care if I started world war three!!!!

            That day I couldn't eat, sleep, or talk. I was so mad!!! When I went to school, I looked like an ugly bald man. I had to shave my head because of the gum. Mikie thought I was some psycho person, but I didn't care. When Danney looked at me, I gave him a big grin! When he sat down, he didn't see that there were glue and feathers on his seat. When he sat down, all of the glue and feathers went on him. The funniest part was that he didn't notice it! Everyone started laughing. When one of his friends told him what happened, he told the teacher and got me in major trouble. I didn't care at all!

            That night when my parents asked me what I did in school today, I told them that I started world war three!!!!!!!
