What Went Wrong With Christmas

By Edith Ephraim

I sat down then i felt something cold...

I tried to stand to check i couldn't....

I was confused... what's happening?

Why can't i stand?

Just then i heard Jackson, his minions and some of my classmates snickering..

Keep it down! Said out teacher oblivious of what was happening...

Els was also looking at me with a questioning look..

It already dawned on me, what had happened and I'm regretting not looking at my seat before i sat down.

What's wrong Els asked...

I was about to answer her when we heard "both of you stand up" ...

Holy crap! I shouted in my mind...

Els stood, but I couldn't. she looked at me, motioning me to stand...

I told her I couldn't... just then Mr Donald's or Mr. Do as we call him arrived in front of us...

Mr. Weather, why aren't you standing he asked. Staring at me...

Now the whole class was looking at me. Some of them giggling like it was fun. I was so embarrassed at that moment.

I wished the grounds would open and swallow me.

I should have known Jackson would try

this much...

Cat got your tongue? Mr Do asked...

No sir I replied, I can't stand because I'm glued to the chair.

The whole class burst into laughter again...
