3:05pm. Mr. Shrooner droned on about PEDMAS and the importance of parenthesis. "D...what does the D in PEDMAS stand for?" he asked in his irritatingly squeaky voice.
"Let's see...how about...Taledo! What does the D mean?"
"Dismal...I mean, division!" I stammered.
"Very good! Now..."
*RING*
"Oh, there's the bell! Have a good summer and don't forget to practice your algebra!"
everyone rushed for the doors, leaving a mess of ripped papers and broken pencils on the ground. I met Megan and Martina at our lockers, where the two of them were disputing whether or not it was BEDMAS instead of PEDMAS. "Taledo! Megan! Martina! Hold on!"
5'ft Lauren Balart(Or Lauren Loud, as we'd nicknamed her)elbowed her way over to us. She flipped her perfect blonde hair over her shoulder and cleaned non-existent dirt from her beneath her hot-pink nails. "Glad...I...I caught you!" she wheezed.
"Whew! You wouldn't believe how stuffy this school is! Anyway, I want to invite you to a party, say, Fivish. you know, to celebrate the end of school."
"Oh!"
My family and I were going out to dinner that night.
"Well..."I began.
"GREAT! See you then!"
Lauren dashed off, no doubt asking,(Sorry, demanding), other people to come to her party. "Wait! Lauren!"
But by then it was to late, she had disappeared into the crowd. "Drat" I muttered.
"Come on guys, let's go get a slushie" Martina said.
"But I..."
"Come on Taledo!" Megan replied, pulling me by the arm.
Finally I relented and followed them across the school yard.
