Prompt 26

March 4, 2020 by Deanna Repose Oaks

I am so excited! My pencil broke and I get to use the new electric pencil sharpener the teacher got for our class last week, finally. I’ve been thinking about using the sharpener since she showed us how to use it. Just push the pencil in the little hole until it starts making noise.

I walk slowly across the class to the new sharpener. It seems so far away because I have to go so slow. The teacher says I can’t run with a pencil, and if I get caught now, I will have to go back to my seat without my pencil instead of using the sharpener. All I want is to use the sharpener, so I am walking extra slow.

All I have to do now is pass Jana’s desk and put my pencil in the hole to sharpen it.

I put my pencil in and a strange noise sounded. I yelped and pulled the pencil out. The teacher ran to me, and asked if everything was okay. I looked down at the pencil. The teacher looked too. She took the pencil from me and sent me to my desk. Then she showed my pencil to the class as the way NOT to sharpen a pencil.
