You Must Fulfil Your Sentence

(I’m in English class and everyone seems tired. We had been modeling sentences as a warm-up. Basically we would replicate a certain sentence structure.)

Teacher: “Okay, who wants to write their sentence on the board?”

(Silence.)

Teacher: “Anyone?”

(Silence.)

Teacher: “Okay, I’ll do it.”

(She walks up to the board and starts writing a sentence.)

Teacher: *while writing* “The somber class sat still, serious, and disturbed the desperate teacher.”

(She turns around.)

Teacher: “Was that so hard?”
