I just got out of detention AGIAN! This time it was for pulling the teachers chair out when she was just about to get settled into her desk, and sit down. It was hysterical when she sat only to find she was sitting on the cold concrete floor of the school. The whole class filled with laughter and praise because no one liked her.
