One point in Junior High, I had this evil teacher. Since I had made it clear I don't like personal infomation, we will call her Miss J. Anyhow, Miss J. had this really bad attitude. She had mood swings. One minute, she was an angel, the next, a complete devil that swore her head off. I was starting my "Bad Girl" attitude at the same time.
She decided we should do a play on Shakespeare. I forgot, but it was the one where a woman named Viola dressed up like her identical twin brother, Sabastin. Here's the problem. I'm not a very social person. (Not talking, at least.) and she was an exaggerator. I hated her because since she had this problem with me, and liked to pick on me.
"Hey, Ranger, do you want to star in my show?" Miss J. asked. I knew she was going to embarrass me. She didn't like me from the start.
"No." I replied, knowing the last thing I wanted to do was star in her stupid show. I scoffed, and kept talking to my friends. Unfortunately, she kept pursuing me.
"Do you mind? There won't be too many parents in the auditorum." My face froze. Now it was an absoulte no. I looked at her with an "Are You Serious" face.
"Please?" Miss J. asked.
"Fine." It was cold, but getting on Miss J's somewhat good side was what I needed.
"Well, Perfect! It's okay. You will only play one act. You will be Viola." And taht ancient woman waddled off. Finally.
She was gone. Just like that. She had left the room to make some copies.
"I feel for you." Some kids had said to me, knowing I had stage fright after all. I frowned sadly. I didn't want to do this. Go in front of my best friends parents and embarrass myself.
I had a nightmare that night. I was on the stage, looking at the parents. They were laughing cruelly. I couldn't figure out why. Was I naked? I looked at myself. Nope. Did I mess something up? I looked to see my classmate tripped on the ground. I guess that was me. With my nightmare being more cruel, I saw Miss J laughing at me. I wanted to cry. Not because of her ugly features. Not because of her cruel remarks. But she was drinking my Dr. Pepper. I didn't know how it was, but I knew it was my new Dr. Pepper that I bought so I could stay up that night so I wouldn't fall asleep during my performance.
I also knew that she had taken it from me, so that I had to do the show. It was like a flashback.
"Hello, Ranger. Is that Dr. Pepper?" Miss J had asked.
I nodded. My friends were behind me.
"Do you want me to carry it for you?" She asked.
I shook my head. I just wanted to carry it. and possibly drink it.
"Are you planning on ruining my show?" Miss J asked.
No. Why would I be so stupid to ruin something fun for people who were nuts to actually do this?
"Well, Then, I will take it by force!" And she snached my Dr. Pepper from my hands. "Now, get in there and don't ruin my show."
Now she smiled mockingly as she opened my Dr. Pepper and began chugging it, me helpless as she finished it and let out a loud blech.
I woke up sweating. My mom looked at me awkwardly as she was going to wake me up from my sleep.
"Don't let Miss. J take my Dr. Pepper." I ran past her, eager to cancel the show, because I was so determined it was a premonition and that night was the performance and she was going to take my Dr. Pepper from me tonight.
All day, I couldn't concentrate as I impaiently tapped my pencil. I sighed as I opened Miss J's room. I sat in my seat as my best friend passed a note: are you okay?
I shook my head. That nightmare was coming true as I saw Miss J. troddle. I replayed the nightmare in my head once again.
"Kids. Since I couldn't sell enough tickets, I'm afriad we will cancel, but I still want to do it in class." I held my breathe.
"See?" My friend who I told my premonition to comforted me. I smiled. That made my day. To celebrate...
I bought Dr. Pepper.
