Homework on the Run
by Othon
One sunny day, I was going to Elementary School in Indio. As all the students got off the bulky, yellow, and black bus my friend Shawn came running towards me. He had told me that he forgot to do his homework! Shawn had always turned in his homework. Seriously, I couldn’t believe it! We knew each other for a long time, even he couldn’t remember the last time he didn’t turn in his homework because there was no last time! Someone else heard us talking because more and more students heard about Shawn not bringing his homework they were in great shock!
Then suddenly someone talked to me, I didn’t know who it was. It was only Shawn. He said, “Can I copy your homework.” I said “No” “ Please Othon” “ No!” After a few minutes I said to myself it would probably be best if I went to talk to Mr. S, the teacher. And that is what I did. He was about to leave the classroom but I reached him before he left. “Mr. S wait up” “Yes Othon “ I need to talk to you.” “ What’s wrong?” “Shawn asked me if he could duplicate my homework.” “He what? No student in my class has ever done that. I’ll talk to him tomorrow.” “Okay.”
Finally, Shawn and Mr. S had their discussion. The office staff had called him through the loud speakers, “ Shawn P. please report to Mr. S’s room.” He got to his room. “Shawn, Othon had told me that you asked him if you could copy his homework. “ No I didn’t” “ Shawn please tell me the truth.” “ Okay, I did ask him if I imitate his homework.” “ Why didn’t you do it?” but Shawn was just standing there bobbing all over the place “ Shawn!” “ Okay, I was playing and I forgot to do my homework.” “ Please step out of the classroom.”
The next day after lunch, Shawn told me “Thank you”. I asked why he said that after I told on him. He told me he said thank you for being a good friend and probably next time he should do his homework before going to play outside.
Othon, I think you did a good job on this story: )
