Crazy Confetti

Have you ever thought that being a principal of a school is awesome? Trust me, it’s not! One usual school day, we had a vote for which student was principal for a day. I hoped I would get chosen. I couldn’t wait until they brought the voting in. The screechy intercom came on. I was wide-awake, unlike usual. I usually sleep in math class, but not today! I waited and waited for them to announce who won the principal for a day. They called out. It was me! I couldn’t believe my ears!

The next day, I called out that there was no rules and free smoothies and free confetti string. Everyone was screaming up and down the halls. Everything was out of control.

You wouldn’t believe what happened next! I walked in the lunchroom, and there was screaming and yelling. I had an ominous feeling. I was so scared. I didn’t know what to do next. Everywhere I looked there were kids running around shrieking.

Out of the blue, someone popped up around the corner. A first grader sprayed me with confetti string!

I shrieked, “AHH!”

Everything was going wrong! I couldn’t hear a thing. I think I busted my eardrums. You would think that a kid wouldn’t want the day to end. NOT ME!!!! I wanted the day to end right this second!

"Woo…. was that a relief,” I sighed.

My story wouldn’t be complete unless I told you the happy ending. The day had finally came to an end. I spent the next school day cleaning the entire school and getting over a killer headache! But the good news is that I learned what a big job being principal is. I definitely now have a new found respect for the position!
