You think about accepting the strange teacher’s offer to
help, but then you remember the Stranger Danger lessons from elementary school.
You ignore the teacher and run into the office. Your sprint down the hallways
leaves you breathless, and it takes you a few minutes to recover before you can
explain what has happened to the secretaries.
It takes you less than a minute to tell them what is going
on. You expect them to panic, but they are perfectly calm. “Don’t worry about a
thing,” the attendance secretary tells you. “We have tangled with Earl many
times.” They pull off their BJHS sweatshirts to reveal black outfits, then
reach into their desk drawers and pull out black masks.
“Wait… you are ninjas?” you ask, confused.
“Not just ninjas,” the financial secretary says as she grabs
her weapon bag from under the copy machine. “We are specially trained
anti-badger ninjas.”
Within fifteen minutes, the ninja secretaries have not only
rescued the entire creative writing class, they also force Earl to start
writing a rough draft for an apology note to send every student.
Ten minutes after that, you are sitting in creative writing
thinking about the crazy afternoon events. By the time the 3:14 bell rings, you
have made an important decision: instead of being a lawyer, you are going to
become a badger-fighting ninja secretary, just like your new heroes.
THE END
