Picking up my little brother home from my old middle school, I heard an alarm go off.
"Is that the fire alarm?" I asked.
Nonplussed, he responded, "I don't know."
It made me think back to my middle school experience. And how much I hated it. And everyone there. I would get relentlessly followed around by a girl with a green tooth, and everyone wanted to know if we were going out. Funny how that turned out...
I also knew a kid who was convinced that the public school system was a conspiracy designed by the government to feed us radioactive cafeteria food for an impending nuclear war.
I shit you not.
But back to the fire alarm... There was one time when someone pulled the fire alarm on a cold, rainy day. Everyone was excited to be out of class for 45 minutes while the school's administration investigated the matter. As for me?
"Are we doing this right now?"
"Corey, why are you covering your ears?"
"'Cause that alarm is so god damn loud! Also, I'm FREEZING. This sucks."
Old, whiny habits die hard.
