Scaredy student was afraid of everything in the whole entire world so he tried to live the safest possible life anyone could live.(Or did he?) This was his daily schedule;
5:00 a.m.- Wake up and lie in bed listening for intruders who could jump him on the way to the light switch.
6:00 a.m.- Sit up and check extra padded slippers for Superglue, bugs, jam or any other sticky substance that would feel trapped under his toes.
6:30 a.m.- Put on extra padded slipper for protection against anything that might of fallen on the floor during the night.
6:45 a.m.- Put on clothes that completely match the school walls so he can blend in when the teachers come looking for him to do the HOMEWORK a.k.a. the H-word.
7:00 a.m.- Check cereal thoroughly for any surprise raisins.
7:15 a.m.- Eat cereal slowly to ensure that there is no choking involved.
8:00 a.m.- Walk to school avoiding sidewalks that are probably booby-trapped to fall through the earth as soon as you step on them.
8:30 a.m.- Arrive at school avoiding the outside Fields that could be holding mean football players that could Huck footballs at you at any time.
9:00 a.m.- Start school, avoiding homework, teachers, football fields, pencils,and cafeteria food.
3:00 p.m.- End school, throw homework away with rubber gloves and go home to hide under the bed.
That Morning started like any morning. Scardey Student was lying in his fluffy, protected bed straining his ears for intruders. When his mind started wandering from his work, and he started thinking. THINKING! The most scary thing of all! Thinking led to responsibility and that led to homework! He tried to direct my self back to my intruder listening, but he couldn't stop my flow of thoughts. The first thing that popped into his mind was Am I living the way I should be?
He tried to block that thought. The whole way to school he was saying to myself, Don't think that, Don't think that. He was so absorbed in not thinking that he accidently walked right into the touchdown zone of the football field! There was a game going on between our school and are arch enemies, CNB!
The MVP was running up the field trying to get the quarterback to throw to him, but then MVP slipped on the wet grass, just as the quarterback threw the ball! The ball sailed threw the air and landed right in scaredy students hands! It was a touchdown and thier team had won the game. That was the day scaredy student actually did his homework and stopped being a Scaredy Student.
He stopped wearing blend-in clotheing. He got right up without waiting to listen for intruders, and was not scared of anything ever again.
Well, except spiders.
