Payback (2007)
“In the lunch hour, I go to Mrs. Pickles’ room for my social studies detention and start catching up on my missed homework while I scarf down one of Aunt Maeve’s damp sandwiches.
The missed homework is so boring that soon I’m drawing pictures of racing bikes and other stuff with my ballpoint that has three different colors — red, blue and black.
Then, just as a splotch of tomato juice from one of Aunt Maeve’s soggy sandwiches parachutes onto my Socials textbook, Mrs. Pickles stalks over and stan...ds over me.
“Do you realize you’re damaging school property?”
I look down at the book.
She’s right. As well as the tomato splotch, which I’m aware of, there’s a whole bunch of doodling all over my textbook, which I’m not so aware of.
I look up at her. “Sorry, ma’am. I wasn’t thinking.”
“That’s your problem, Charley Callaghan. You don’t think. You have ruined a perfectly good textbook.” She picks up the book and peers at the doodles and the tomato splotch. “You can just take this along to the vice-principal and show him how you waste my time and your own, and how you waste the taxpayers’ money!”MoreLess
