Jamie stood nervously at the front of the hall, clutching her notecards. This was it. Her big moment. The speech she had practiced all night: The Importance of Giant Spaghetti Bowls.

She cleared her throat. “Ladies and gentlemen, fellow students… today, I want to talk about something that truly matters, giant spaghetti bowls.”

From the front row, the principal immediately dozed off. SNORE.

Jamie blinked. “…Well. At least he’s not booing.”

Meanwhile, Samantha was leaning back in her chair, staring dreamily at the ceiling. “Mmm… what if spaghetti bowls were actually made of chocolate…”

Jamie snapped her fingers. “Samantha, pay attention!”

Samantha blinked. “Huh? Oh. Sorry. Continue.”

Max, meanwhile, wasn’t paying attention at all. He was sitting in the middle row, comb in hand, fixing his hair like he was starring in a shampoo commercial. “Perfect… flawless… yeah, Jamie wishes she had my shine.”

Suddenly CRASH! George tripped over nothing and toppled directly onto Ryan, flattening him.

“GEORGE!” Ryan shouted from under him. “Get OFF me! I was calculating the volume of this chair!”

“It was gravity’s fault!” George protested.

At the same time, Sarah and Andrew were bickering in the corner.

“You stole my eraser!” Sarah accused.

Andrew snapped back, “Well, you stole my SONGS! ‘Cause I HEARD you humming Twinkle Twinkle yesterday!”

“I DID NOT!”

“DID TOO!”

The audience was pure chaos, but Jamie pushed through.

“Giant spaghetti bowls,” she continued firmly, “are not just meals. They are dreams. They are unity. They are—”

“BOOOOO!”

Jamie froze. She knew that voice.

Her eyes locked on Max, who was cupping his hands around his mouth and booing as loud as he could.

“Boooo! Worst speech ever! Where’s the spaghetti, Jamie?!”

Jamie’s face turned red. She yanked off her shoe and hurled it at him.

SMACK!

“OWWWWW!” Max yelped, clutching his head. “Why am I always the target?!”

Jamie, still fuming, whirled around and chucked her other shoe straight at the principal.

THUNK!

The principal snapped awake, blinking in shock. “WHAT—WHO JUST ATTACKED ME WITH FOOTWEAR?!”

The room fell silent.

In the back, Bob shuffled in, still stuck inside his backpack, muffled screams echoing. “GUYS… I’M STILL TRAPPED…”

The silence broke into laughter.
