My History Teacher.BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I groaned into my pillow as my alarm clock's obnoxious ringing filled my ears. Today is one of the most dreaded days in a teenager's life. Today is the day that separates freedom from labor. Today is the first of school. Yeah, I am dramatic, but so what. I don't like school, but can you blame me?

I found myself gagging when the man, who was a twelfth grade English teacher, began telling the world about his affair with his eighteen year old student. After he admitted that he left his wife and two kids for this girl, I turned the television off. I shook my head as I put my bowl and spoon into the sink.
