Homework

"Okay kids, make sure to pick up your homework on the way home!" said Miss Morrison, waving goodbye to each of us.I sprinted out the door without taking my sheet of homework. "Um, aren't you gonna take your homework Alyssa?" asked my best friend, Pearl. "Oh yeah, I nearly forgot." I lied under my lips, taking a sheet of homework. "So are we going to your house to play your new Xbox 360?" asked Pearl pleadingly. "Uh.. sorry, I'm busy with biology. Sorry." I replied guiltily. That was just my stupid excuse so I could spend the whole afternoon by myself playing this new game called Animal Jam that I had just discovered last week and I was really into it. "Aw..." replied Pearl sadly, and ran off crying. I mean, I do admit, I did feel a little bad for her then, but it was only a game. When I got home, my dog, 'Big' Ben greeted me politely at the door. "Hi dog-go." I said kindly, patting his shaggy little head. "Woof!" he replied in approval. I bolted upstairs and dropped all my homework on the blue shag carpet. "Who needs you anyways?" I snapped, and teared the exercises into shreds and tossed them carelessly into the bin. Then I opened my Chromebook and logged onto Animal Jam. My animal was an arctic wolf wearing a orange short collar, peacock feathers and a sheep cloak. I went to my Princess Castle (aka my den), and to my shock, I saw a pig wearing a cotton candy necklace and a tiara. "Um, what are you doing here?" I asked. "Come to my classroom\den to figure out." the pig replied, smiling. I scratched my head. What did she mean by classroom? I casually assumed she just made her den like a classroom for a role play or something like that, so I replied, "OK." and clicked on the den icon. Mysteriously, it looked a lot like my classroom from school. Maybe this was Pearl deciding to join my all time favourite game and make a classroom. The pig later came into the den, and cleared it. She placed a mirror and a singular blue mat. "Sit down." she said. Her pig's eyes flashed a red for a second and turned back to brown. But the most creepy thing was the pig spoke to me literally, and sounded a lot like Miss Morrison. "On the mat?" I said to the computer. "Yes Alyssa." I was surprised the pig knew my name, so obediently, I used my keys and sat on the mat. "Look into the mirror. You should see your true self." she said coldly. My eyes darted to the mirror. Oh my hair was alright, but my face was absolutely disgusting. I didn't even have one! "What do you see?" asked the pig. "No face." The pig grinned. "So, Alyssa, why did you throw away your homework?" she asked. Now I was really shocked. "How do you know that?" The pig moved closer to me and said, "I am your teacher...." I gasped and left the den immediately. I bet it was probably a hallucination or something. "Bedtime, Alyssa!" called my mother before I could think anymore about what just happened. "OK Mum!" I called and tucked myself into bed. That night, I couldn't sleep. My face was aching badly and my hands and fingers were limp. Eventually I fell asleep. When I woke up that morning, my face was throbbing more than ever before. I pressed my hands to my cheeks in pain. When I looked at the mirror to investigate, I realized I had no face. Just like in the mirror in Miss Morrison's den. Before I told my Mum to come and help me, I saw one last thing. On the mirror, I also saw my teacher's face, saying, "Do your homework..."

Moral: Always do your homework or this might happen to you one day kids. I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU RACHEL!
