The Battle Of The Five Pencils

(I am sitting around on my phone during allowed free time in class, before the girls in the front throws a pencil from the front to the boys in the back. This caused them to throw a pencil in retaliation, until an all out pencil war began. I was sitting like a hermit doing nothing while this happened.)

Quiet Student: “Class, I speak to you now, as a person who has seen the terrors of war, and know that nothing ever good comes of it. Lay down thy weapons, and consolidate. Don’t waste your hard earned pencils on thy enemy.”

(They looked kinda amazed, and sheepish at the same time. They stopped throwing pencils, but one or two were exchanged when that kid went to the bathroom.)
