This choice: "Sorry Ms Carroll, it was just a joke." • Go Back...Chapter #7"Sorry Ms Carroll, it was just a joke." by: Mr Doggy   "S-sorry, Ms Carroll," Katrina stammered, "I was just kidding!" She managed a nervous grin; as brave as she was, she wasn't quite ready to take on a teacher. Especially since she, and her classmates, know full well that an angry Ms Carroll is not fun to watch.
Just like that, Ms Carroll's menacing expression softened as a smile formed. "No need to apologise, so was I!" The teacher chuckled as Katrina's plump cheeks reddened with embarrassment. Even Jennifer couldn't help but giggle; she always thought Ms Carroll was pretty funny.
"Though, you may like today's exercise," she explained to the girls, "get lined up with your friends and I'll explain."
The two watched as their classmates were beginning to assemble along the gym wall, talking quietly amongst each other about this and that. They waddled over to join them, taking a space on the end.
The other pudgy kids had their stomachs jutting out from the line in varying lengths, but Jennifer's stuck out the furthest by far. She attempted to tug her top down over her stomach again, but it simply just rolled back up in seconds. She huffed softly and pinched the side of her shorts' waistband, tugging it a bit to release some of the chafing. And while it did help temporarily, letting go simply caused the strain to return with a vengeance.
"Alright kids, quiet down now," Ms Carroll spoke up, the class slowly going silent and giving her their attention, "Today's class will be nice and simple; I want you all to get into pairs, and take turns to count how many skips you can do in two minutes. One skips and the other counts."
The kids nodded and muttered to each other, understanding so far. Katrina just kept a glum frown.
"I'll be keeping time and telling you when to swap," Ms Carroll continued, "so there won't be any cheating." She added with a joking smirk. "You can pair up with whoever you like, so get into teams and one of you come get a rope."
As the kids scrambled and decided on teams, Jennifer looked over to Katrina with an excited grin.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
