29th January 2024 Writings

 29th

 

Excerpt from: A School Dance of Mischief

There were many opportunities for mischief at Lawndale High. As much as Ms. Li cracked down on such, they still presented themselves. She entered one of the Arts classrooms. “Good morning, Students.” She then noticed that Defoe was missing. “Where is your instructor?”

 

“She went to the ladies room,” Brittany Taylor answered.

 

That wasn’t what Li expected. “10:25, Defoe leaves post without clearance for personal business. Initiate investigation,” she said into her tape recorder. She then put it away. “Anyway, I just dropped in to caution you that the school dance is in two weeks, and security is going to be especially tight. So, if anyone is thinking of rigging a bucket of pig's blood to the rafters, well, they can just forget it.”

 

She then left.

 

 

“The Dance is going to be cool,” Kevin Thompson said as he left the class.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn

“What?” Sanderson asked.

 

“She’s gone,” Anna said.

 

“The I guess I can come in the ambulance and get the bus later.”

 

 

It didn’t take long for SpiderGirl to find Gerald. He hadn’t gone far. ‘Now, how to do this without revealing my secret identity…’

 

 

Gerald was surprised when he was suddenly lifted up into the sky. “SpiderGirl!”

 

“That’s me!” the self proclaimed ‘superhero’ said.

 

“What are you doing?” he asked as he struggled against the webbing.

 

“With great power comes great responsibility, and that includes helping teenage girls and teachers who don’t want to get into trouble because someone ran away from a field trip.”

 

“Quinn! She’s an annoying insinuating busybody!”

 

“I’ll be sure to tell her that,” the costumed meta responded.

 

“What are you going to do?”

 

“I’ll take you back to the bus.”

 

 

SpiderGirl brought Gerald back to the bus and webbed him to it. “Quinn, Anna and Miss Sanderson will be back shortly.”

 

“Great!” Gerald groused.

 

 

Quinn got back to the spot and found that Sanderson and Anna had gone with the ambulance. “Oh no!” She thought quickly. ‘I guess SpiderGirl can drive the bus…’ she thought.

 

 

“What?” Gerald asked.

 

“I’ll drive the bus to the hospital,” SpiderGirl said. “How hard can it be?”

 

“And where’s Quinn? If the teacher went with Anna and Ben in the ambulance.”

 

“Now… did the teacher leave the keys here by accident?”

 

“I don’t think so,” Gerald said as he followed the vigilante into the bus.

 

 

‘Of course not,’ SpiderGirl realised. But she did learn how to hotwire a vehicle in Highland…

 

 

Gerald worried as the bus’s engine roared to life. He was sure SpiderGirl was going to cause traffic chaos.

Excerpt from: The Memorial Dance Incident

“Good idea,” Nikki said. “I’ll go and round them up.”

 

 

Brittany and Jane came down off the roof. The former could tell that the latter was still in thought about what to do for her big project.

 

“You are going to tell me, right?” Brittany asked.

 

“Yes,” Jane answered.
