Once the all-clear signal is given, Mr. Facebook marches me up to Mr. Sausage Nose’s office and firmly lays the blame on me. I sit in the chair outside his office, waiting for my mom.
When Mom arrives I try to explain what happened. But Mr. Sausage Nose keeps interrupting me, saying how no other group had any problems. Mr. Facebook had told him that I wasn’t listening and that is the reason why I added way too much of the chemical. When I tried to tell Mr. Sausage Nose how the teacher was on the phone instead of answering my question, he went on to praise Mr. Facebook for having the sense to use his personal phone to ring the fire and rescue. He said that if it hadn’t been for his quick thinking and action…I could have burned down the whole school. “That’s why he had his phone out Maddi, you must be confused,” he said sternly.
“Mom, this is so unfair, it’s really not my fault. I’m telling you the truth!” I shouted.
The principal started to tell Mom that I would be suspended for 4 weeks for my actions.
To my shock, my mom butted in, raising her voice, “My daughter does NOT lie! She will not be suspended, we are moving to a new school.” She grabbed me by the hand and stormed out of the office.
As we drove away, Mrs. Absolutely Positive simply said, “Maddi, don’t worry, there are plenty of lovely schools to go to. There is a silver lining to every cloud of smoke.”
And that’s why I’m heading to my next adventure in ‘My New School’.
Keep in touch!
