She stood up and told me to wait my turn. My turn took several people. First Cynthia stood up and shouted that her father was the most interesting person she knew. Apparently Cynthia’s dad works for city hall and he gets to go into every room and make sure that all of them are squeaky clean and without him nothing would get done. After her Steve told us about his doctor and the amazing way that Dr. Smith reads the charts and explains how he can straighten his spine. Then came Suzie, Julie, Matt, Kimberly, Jack, Frank, and Vanessa…Vanessa took the longest. All Vanessa talked about was herself, I really loath her for various reasons. Finally I stood up and shouted “Mr. Arrington definitely beats all of your ‘interesting’ people.”

Ms. Smith took a breath and told me “Calm down Jeremy.”

“I would love to Ms. Smith, but your hair would jump out of place once you find out about Mr. Arrington. So take a seat, I tell you this for your own good.” Ms. Smith continues to stand and I feel bad for her since she’s about to fall flat on her pencil nit skirt, which she has been wearing for two days in a row now. “Mr. Arrington is my neighbor and I know for certain that he either was or currently is a snoop of some sort. My apologies to all of you since you all are in danger now that you know Mr. Arrington’s horrible secret. Run, tell your parents, hide under the covers, bolt down the silver wear.”
