Silence

February 5 3013

My class was horrible in gym today. Everyone was being all "crazy" and Mrs. Lance told us to cut it out. No one did. She said that we had to sit in silence for about 5 minutes. While that was happening some people were giggling and laughing. Soon she raised it up another 5 minutes. 10 minutes of silence! It was horrible. I hated it. I also had chorus after gym. Now in chorus, we have to bring our backpacks with us because we have to go to the high school. When I finished packing all my stuff, Ethan was still at his locker. Two lockers away from me. When he saw me with my coat and my backpack on, he looked confused. "Why do some people have their backpacks on?" he asked himself out loud,  "Should I bring my backpack with me?" I stared at him. He stared at me back. I opened my mouth to say something, but then I closed it. I was going to tell him that it was just chorus that needed their backpacks. But I gave it a second thought. "Oh well." Ethan said. I watched as he left. That was close, I thought to myself. I hope I didn't look stupid when I opened my mouth.
