JoJo 9.3; Week # 2.3

I love Tuesdays, thought JoJo as he wandered into 4th period finding Mrs. Tense staring at him.
"Thanks for being on time, Mr. Smith. You might make it out of this year alive after all."
"Thanks, Mrs. Smith."
"Don't be a suck-up, Boy! That can get you hurt around here."
"Yes mam...I mean no mam."
"SIT DOWN, SMITH!"
JoJo silently sat down. He tried to not breath due to the stench, but he realized it was required to live--even at SHS. Mrs. Tense said it was time for a pop quiz for all freshmen in the classroom.
Real funny...there are ONLY freshmen in the classroom.

After 6 minutes, Mrs. Tense shouted, "OK, Freshies, turn in your papers!"
 JoJo was on question # 3. So, he guessed at the last 2. English was not JoJo's strong suit. He was a good reader, but he never made above a B in English classes.
"Today, we are going to discuss and analyze your reading passage from last night."
After a few minutes, all JoJo heard was, "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.."

When English class was over he starting running to P.E. Right when he turned the corner, he saw Mr. Straight at the other end of the hallway.
I hope Straight didn't see me.
JoJo walked the remaining 42 steps to the end of the hallway where Mr. Straight was waiting on him.
"Mister, are you a track star?"
"No sir."
"You practice running a lot?"
"No sir."
"Well, what do you call what you were just doing when you rounded that corner, Mister?"
"Running, sir."
"How many warnings am I going to give you, Mister?"
"One sir."
"What are some kinda freshy punk?"
"No sir!"
"That is much better, my friend."
JoJo was startled..."Thanks, Mr. Sraight!"
"Don't mention it sonny. That will be after-school detention tomorrow."
"Yessir."
"Quite the yes-man. yessir. yessir. Well, yessir you got yourself detention."

When JoJo finally got to P.E., he saw the fellas huddled up in a discussion.
"What's going on, guys?"
"Charlie got a Two-Alarm Wake-Up Call, and his head is bleeding."
"How can this be tolerated," quipped Nate Nerdness
Tommy took the lead. "Raise your hand if you got a Wake-Up Call today?"
Everyone raised their hand but JoJo.
All eyes burned in on JoJo.
"Boys, this is the first day I have NOT had an Alarm!"
Strangely, that didn't satisfy the guys---not even Tommy.
Forget these guys, I am going to shoot the hoop...
"Mell, feed me!" And JoJo forgot all about the guys, including bloody Charlie.
