“The Practice ” by JJBUG123 Awesome

Submitted to Contest #198

When you were in high school or maybe you still are, obtaining the knowledge of multiple subjects and then writing about them for seven hours a day, every day, it was or is probably overwhelming to do. Or maybe that first bit came easily to you. Or you were that one student that was always scared of what the day might come to. Like, something so traumatizing and downright frightening could take place, right in the middle of class! Unfortunately, this fear was not thought of at all when something so horrifying took place at a young girl’s hig...

“Sedgwick” by Levi Michael

Submitted to Contest #198

Charlie and his teacher, Cameron Miller, stood side-by-side leaning over at the waist and peering through the glass of the terrarium at Sedgwick. Sedgwick was staring back. “He doesn’t look any different.” Charlie put a finger on the glass. Sedgwick eyed it cautiously before waddling across the sawdust, through the other hamsters, and nosing at it with a twitch of his muzzle. “I don’t know.” Mr. Miller leaned in closer and brought his glasses down to give the rodent a thorough appraisal. “I think I might see a little progress....

“WARDEN” by Danyal Bokhari

Submitted to Contest #198

Everyone in the class noticed it immediately. Pam was missing. The teacher wore a grave expression that she soon replaced with a rehearsed smile. Something was wrong. “Okay class! Pop quiz.” Every student straightened their backs. There was no time to dwell on their missing peer as sheets of paper made their way onto each desk, excluding that of Pam. “You may turn over your papers on the hour.” A measly thirty seconds until the needle on the clock would meet its mark. The students took the opportunity to dry their sweaty palms, and ...

“The Pop Quiz Bandit” by Kaden Nevarez

Submitted to Contest #198

Emma sat in her history class, staring out the window as the sun beat down on the grass outside. She had always found history to be tedious, and today was no exception. She checked the clock on the wall, counting down the minutes until class would be over and she could finally escape to the comfort of her own home. Just as she was about to drift off into daydreams of her favorite TV shows, her teacher, Mrs. Thompson, suddenly called out, "Okay class! Pop quiz." The sudden announcement made Emma jump in her seat, her heart racing as she scram...

“The Final” by J. Everett Wilson

Submitted to Contest #198

This story contains themes of violence and self harm.Dane’s chin brushed against his chest as the teacher droned on. It wasn’t just the warmth of the room or the dull voice of Professor Haven. It wasn’t even the evening sun filtering through the windows and gently dispersing across the desks of other dozing students.It was what the sunlight dispersed through- a thick fog of noxious fumes created by the experiments that the professor kept bubbling on the tables behind him. No two of the bubbling liquids looked exactly alike- there were slimy ...

“Happy Training” by Flower Queens Adventures

Submitted to Contest #198

"Okay class, Pop Quiz" We heard from the unexpectedly cheerful female voice.. A hidden male figure In all black removed the cloth cover over our heads revealing a confused bunch of us. All different and varying in ages, shapes, colors and languages. The now intensely bright lit room did not resemble a classroom but an obstacle course that was viewed to be the size of at least 3 indoor football fields. With confusing faces and after a long pause of observational awareness of our new surroundings, all of our attention was on her. Noticing o...

“A Day in The Life of A High School Kid” by Rashaad Saunders

Submitted to Contest #198

Okay Class! Pop Quiz. Instantly the class drops their heads, well all except for Tim Eisenhower. Tim Eisenhower is the classic "teacher's pet" character from one of the classic 80's movies, Ferris Bueller's Day's Off, I think of that film every time he raises his hand to speak. If there was a remake coming out Tim Eisenhower would definitely be an extra in that film. I've never actually seen the movie, but cover picture that pulls up online looks like a teacher's pet movie. As Mr. Dominguez set's to open the quiz online via Canvas, he str...

“Off To A Great Start” by Ah Jones

Submitted to Contest #198

“Shoot!” Zoe yelled as she jackknifed from her warm pillow. She could tell by the amount of sunshine filtering through her curtains that she’d overslept. Zoe turned and looked at her cellphone screen - black. Dang it! Her battery must have died again last night. Zoe hurriedly put her feet on the floor and plugged in her cell phone. She’d told her dad that she needed a new phone. This stupid phone would randomly go from showing a fully charged battery to saying it only had 30 percent charge left. She never knew when her battery ...
