EPIC

That's what I'm calling today, EPIC. It will be known  forever as EPIC. Not THE epic, not A epic, but just EPIC. In all capitals just like that.
EPIC.
Now doesn't that just look amazing??
Ok so let me tell you about EPIC.
It started out like any other day, where I felt like I would physically explode into a million fragments all over the place and my eyes would glue themselves shut so I could be forever locked in my dreams and NOT HAVE TO WAKE UP. But when I finally convinced my alarm clock it didn't need to badger me out of bed I ate my breakfast and got ready for school and all that. Getting to school just a bit late and getting in at a super late time 8:13!! Oh no! How late was I? It's funny, we aren't supposed to be let in until 8:15, but they let us in at like 8:10 and then my teacher Ms. Wheeler gets mad at us if we're there too early. I don't even know, ok. P.S. our school doesn't actually start until 8:22.

1st Hour

So me and Erica are sittin there cuz we had a free day doin not muc but surfing mlia, and fmylife and those sorts. And Ms. Wheeler is cleaning and stuff. And she goes, does anybody have a lighter??
Ok, first, what?? I mean seriously, no LIGHTERS ALLOWED AT SCHOOL!!!
No one says anything and she smiles and goes, you know SOMEONE has a lighter.
Some people smile and look knowingly ant eachother, and she goes well, if anyone has a lighter could they please light my candle, I will turn my back and go outside and you light it. So she does that and this kid who got suspended earlier in the year for having a lighter gets up and takes like 30 seconds to light the candle and then he runs back, and everyone's laughing, all his friends, he is, and Ms. Wheeler comes in and looks really honestly shocked that her candle's lit. And she goes well whoever that was don't let anyone else see it. But we all know who it was because he was already standing up and trying to make his way over there before she was out of the room.

2nd Hour

This is art class, and everyone comes in, Abir, Lexy and Jessica, and well me of course.
We're sitting there doing our art ornaments and underwater scene stuff, and Lexy looks at us and she goes, you know Storm he's in 8th grade, really tall?
Me: Yeah, he's in my computer class (last hour, btw) why?
Lexy: I stole his pencil. (Smiles)
Me:  . . . . .why????
Lexy: Cuz I think he's cute.
Me: (Laughs) Oh WOW.
Then I succeeded in cutting myself while trying to make my super crooked christmas tree ornament with the bottom of a pie plate making my fancy not so fancy ornament. Then we all took turns singing Grenade very obnoxiously and loud, and then the table next to us caught on. It was also the table where the ghetto girls had all the food, like the York Pieces, marshmallows and twizzlers. Golly, they were annoying.
Then ridiculously stupid the lunch hour is after that. at 10:08!!!!!

Lunch

Me and Hannah were talking about wands and stuff and all that jazz. We were planning on walking in to Mr. Johnson's class and doing HP spells at him. It was going to be awesome. But I forgot my wand in my locker, and so I would have to borrow one of Hannah's extras. So you see, Mr. Johnson always looks forward to the days we have, he's a cool teacher, and he puts up with us, even though he made us take off our mustaches on Mustache Monday. He said they were cool though. But yeah, so I used a super flimsy wand, and we walked in and he looked like he was going to ask me a question, but Hannah just tipped her wand towards him and said Confundus. Not very dramatic. So I wanted to be dramatic to show off my amazing skills, I jumped like a ninja and fixed my eyes on his face and with the most determined look I could muster I shouted STUPEFY! And waved the wand around for extra dramatic effect, and then ran away into the class room. Hopping around excitedly, and some people saw it and some didn't. But either way it was awesome.
Then during class we made holiday cards and Hannah pointed her wand at Mr. Johnson and yelled AVADA KEDAVRA! And I was all DUDE! You just KILLED out English teacher!!! She did it like 6 times and then we were like what's wrong with him, he won't die, he won't be knocked out he won't be confused, he won't even DANCE!!
Bum.
We were making cards and Cassandra and Hannah have been known to have awkward moments where they go back and forth telling eachother off, because they are kind of angry or annoyed and one of those happened and Mikayla and I are just hey-guys-no-fighting-please kind of people, so I tried to lighten the mood by going. "ooo she tryn ta bake!!!" Like the ghetto people do at our school. Coverin' my mouth and all that kind of stuff. I did that about ten times until Hannah was like, can I slap her, I mean really, would you guys mind??
I kept doing that and I got a couple of jabs in the neck cuz of it. But then at the end, Mikayla gave my a Christmas card, and I gave Mikayla one, with the words to the song where it goes, he sees you when your sleepin' he knows when your awake, and all that, the title slips my mind right now. And she was all, why would you do that to me, you know I'm claustraphobic. Dude. . . . . . .?

4th Hour

I ran into the room with my own wand casting spells running amuck and Joshua Blake runs up going hey let me see that. Which coincidentally he looks like Harry Potter only with blonde hair, and I go, no way!! I want my wand, and he grabs the end, and instinctively I try to wrench it out of his hands. I succeed and end up giving him a splinter. Which this happened to me on the first day I got the wand, I tried to put it in my locker, and I grabbed the end, and the end is all mottled and stuff and it got a splinter into my hand. So I laughed, and then we got into the class, we had this work sheet where there were pictures and you had to find the Christmas song that went with it. Me and Hannah figured out most of them, but then started quizzing eachother on the spells we were going to use in our epic battle at the end of the day. Kirsten and Cassandra figured them all out and they got pops, Kirsten got a Diet Coke Lime, cuz she was late getting a prize and that was all that was left, but Cassandra got a Coca Cola. We fountained some Coke from her. It was good. Then Abby stole the knife to the yellow frosting, and everyone was all like ewwwww, kids are still going to FROST with that knife you just LICKED CLEAN!!!
Then everyone started to do it, because she wasn't getting yelled at. While Me and Hannah just talked about really nothing in particular. Then class was over. And I tucked my wand into my sock, and covered it over my pant legt and went to math.

5th Hour

That was incredibly boring because we learned how to graph a linear equality on a four quadrant graph plane.

6th Hour

We ran in desperately looking for tape, because we NEEDED tape to hang our Ministry of Magic Flush Twice sign, and the Dumbledore's Army. So we looked all over and no luck, not even in her art boxes, then I finally found some and it was almost gone, I didn't know how much she needed so I just handed Hannah the roll. She got some and with 2 minutes left we ran into the bathroom and posted the signs on the stall, and ran back super fast, my wand fell out of my sock, and I'm pretty sure that the only one that saw anything at all was Mr. Johnson, who watched us run from one end of the hall to tape and us run back wands in hand.
The bell rang while we were running back but we slid in before some of the kids in my class had a chance to close the door, and there was a mob at the front of the class and we blended in and snuck to our seats laughing hard. Then we stood up did our fancy hand shake and said Mischief Managed!
We did a stupid word search and then Mariah came back from the bathroom and was all you put those signs up in the bathroom, and Samaria was all oooooh I'm tellin' Ms. Martinez. Bahaha. No she wouldn't. Then Hannah dotted me on the forehead and I couldn't get it off, so I went and asked Ms. Walker if I could go to the bathroom to wash it off, and check on the signs. I grabbed my pencil to sign the Dumbledore's army sheet, but when I got there, they were gone. Torn off and thrown away. Mariah. No. Way. I. Was. Mad. I used the bathroom and washed some of the marker off, but it wouldn't come all the way off, and then I stormed my way back to class, I was MAD. I told Mariah they were gone and she admitted to taking them off. That BUM. Then class was over and I had to go to spanish all by myself.

7th Hour

We had to do this oral reading, and when it was my turn I only stumbled on a few words. I even got estadounidense right. She asked me what instrument I played in the band.
Um.
I'm not IN band actually. So I had to explain that I played violin in 5th grade and planned on doing it in the next semester again. And she said I had a good ear for music. We weren't even talking about music though. . . . .what?? And then she said I had a good ear for language too, but she didn't give me a candy cane. I was bummed. I LIKE candy canes.
Then we watched this stupid movie about this guy who steals something out of this other guys car, and then they catch him but don't send him to jail and make him to odd jobs around the house for them. But while exploring the house he finds that the guy he stole from is really his son, and then he steals stuff and runs away.
Weird.
FINALLY school was over. I got my stuff and went to find Hannah. I found her at her locker.

After School

We went into Ms. Taylor's class and Mr. Erspamer's class, and we gave them chocolate. Haha. I tried to give Mr. Erspamer's in a handshake, but it didn't really work. He took it, and my empty hand was shaking up and down awkwardly, and he was already thanking us and wishing us a merry christmas by the time I eased my way out of his crowded desk area.
Then I had to go to the office and turn in my cross country stuff which wasn't turned in yet because our coach hadn't organized a banquet yet!! i had joined swimming like a month after Cross Country was over, and that season came and went and then we had the banquet last night, but no Cross Country banquet. I mean what the heck, dude??
The coach was there, and I was like hey, take my stuff. And he was all hey hannah.
Oh my god. I'm not HANNAH!!!!!  YOU DING DONG!! I'm DELANEY!!!!! He's like NEVER ONCE got mine and Hannah's name right. When we practiced it was always, nice job  Hannah. Like, ok, dude, I don't look like her. So what if we always hang out and stuff, I DON'T LOOK LIKE HANNAH!
So we were giving him (good naturedly) crap for not having a banquet. Trying to tell him that swimmings banquet was over, and that I still had my stuff. When like all of a sudden Mr. William's the chess coach from like 3rd grade walks in. And I'm like what is this, a reunion?? And he just walks past, and I'm like hey, what are you doing here?? And he doesn't answer. So I go, HEY! MR. WILLIAMS WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?? He turns around and gives me a hug(slightly awkward) and starts telling me he's trying to get a program over here again, which would be neat so I would have something to do after school. Yippee. He asks me if I would be in it and I just say, oh you know. . . . . maybe. And Hannah's just standing there looking around because the coach was talking to the secretary, and finally Mr. Williams goes and does . . . .whatever it is Mr. William guys do. Then the coach was like you want your trophies, and we were like YES! So we started following the coach out and we're talking, and giving him more crap, until we get near the locker rooms, and we get our fancy trophies, which have little things that flip around all cool like. And then we are like so yeah, we should have a banquet. And he says you know, I don't know what to do with you guys, maybe we could have a pizza party. And he starts to walk towards the door. He's leaving, and we're like yeah, get everyone back together for a day. You know, if they're not all dead, or like 40 years old. And he goes, yeah, shut up and leaves. So then me and Hannah are walking back to go outside and we're talking about how fun giving him crap is.
We get outside and set down our trophies on a trash can and prepare for the wizard battle. We do the whole thing, with the wands up to the faces, and backing up and turning around and all that. My personal favorite spell is stupefy. So I used that she used ennervate. She used the tantareglla. Or something of the sorts and I had to dance, and then I made her do the imperio, and she made me do the crucio. Then I was all AVADA KEDAVRA even though it's banned, ans she goes Protego, which is the counter curse which ended up killing me. Oh wow. So then I was all yay, I'm dead ha ha you win. Bye. But then girls pick up our trophies and are talking and stuff and then one girl just drops Hannah's trophie on the ground and the fancy spinny thing breaks off. And everyone gasps and the girl who did it just smiles smugly while her friend makes sure to carefully set mine back down the trash can. And everyone's like ooooohhhh you gonna cry and stuff. And I'm thinking, ha! if she's gonna do anything she's gonna punch that girl in the face! But no, Hannah picks up her trophie all quietly and then just walks away. And I'm like, bye Hannah. But she's already like 20 feet away from me. She kept herself together, I would have been 'tryn ta bake them' if I were her. That made me mad just watching that. But apparently the trophy object is fixed. So all is well, today was EPIC.
I like that word. EPIC.
I won't ever forget EPIC, (hee hee)
