The younger students with their unzipped jackets and their whining, were driving her crazy. Emily hated safety patrol. She had to stand out in the frosty morning wind every morning. Then at one-o-clock, she had to walk the kindergartners home. They always whined that they were cold, and when she suggested that they put on their jackets, they said that it made their necks itchy. It was a job that was supposed to be for two people but she had to do it herself. The only good thing was she got to skip 4th period, which happened to be her least favorite subject, Spanish. She decided that one day she would tell the kindergartners that a monster was chasing them so they would stop lolly-gagging and dawdling and get home quickly so she could hang out at Starbucks in her extra time. The monster story worked perfectly for about a week, until one tragic Wednesday. That Wednesday, while Emily was at Starbucks, her mom came in. When Emily's mom found out what Emily did, she found the school's telephone number, called the principal, and arranged a meeting. At the meeting, Emily's mom told the principal what Emily did, and Principal Redding took Emily off safety patrol. Emily was so happy to be off safety patrol! The only thing was that she had to take Spanish now. She decided that when she learned Spanish, she would run away from home and move to Mexico, because she was already going to be grounded for life at home. She would speak Spanish, ride donkeys and live off of burritos and tacos! Ole`!
