"...How you passed that standardized test to see how good you are I'll never know. You probably used a cheat sheet!..." Ms. Hetris was raving like a lunatic. Many a time had students questioned her sanity.
"Here we go again." Groaned Carlie. Even if she had shouted at the top of her lungs no one would have heard her. Ms. Hetris had the lungs of a peacock. If you chuckle at this, you've never heard a peacock.
"...That's it! You cheated! You're in a gang of evildoers, trying to make our school look good. If you ever cheat, do it for yourself! Our school is good-looking enough already with out you making it worse! My reputation will be ruined! I have to stop this insanity!..." Ms. Hetris was very strange. She turned a cockroach into the boogie man.
"I'm afraid no psychiatrist in the world could save you now, ma'am." muttered Abel.
"...I know what to do! I'll prosecute you! You'll never mess up my class again! MUAHAHAHAHA!"

Kangel couldn't help but pity the sixth graders that were good enough in math to take middle school classes. She knew that it was bad that she had forgotten her homework, but honestly, she had done it, and it was also a first time offense. She knew that some of those poor kids in the next class had forgotten their homework and would get the same treatment.
