Dave enjoying a cup of fury !


Dave is in the classroom , when his teacher
walks in astonished
“Dave, what IS wrong with you ? You have hurt Pearl again ! “

Dave throws a flabbergasted look at both of them and for this one time, his instinct shoves him into an explosion of fury, fury and more fury.

“IT WAS NOT ME. SHE PUSHED ME INTO THE MUCK AND MUCKED UP ALL MY TROUSERS .SEE !
(Turns and bends slightly so that his but appears protruded from underneath his shirt and the muck over it is clearly visible) .

SHE IS THE ONE WHO CALLED ME A LOSER BECAUSE I LOST AT THE BASKET BALL LAST EVENING AND SHE SHOWED HER TOUNGE OUT AT ME WHEN I ENTERD THE SCHOOL TODAY. IT’S SHE, SHE ………SHE’S THE ONE ! “

“Calm Down, Dave “ . Ms Ruggets appears a little concerned now and surprised because she has not seen Dave quarrel with others .
“Pearl, is that true ? Did YOU push him into the muck today ?”

“Ms.Ruggets. umm, I did that, yes, but he called me names and he…he took MY strawberry cheese cake …it’s him “

“Forget it. (Sighs).I want you both to show a modest quantum of dignity while in class. Dave, I understand you have your own hitches, back home but let this be the last time I hear a complaint on you and Pearl, you MUST stop inviting Dave into quarrel for me retain my sanity. PLEASE ! “

“I’ve got cheese sandwich and Egg Bacons. Unlike you, I am gifted with a fine attitude of benevolence. I don’t mind you joining me for lunch, if you are too afraid to show any one that you’ve lost your pocket money for lunch and are starving”
That’s Pearl speaking, of course after Ms. Ruggets leaves . Pearl sometime is Commanding . And she has got the style of making herself clearly dominant.

“No THANKS. I hate the smell of packed food.(scowls in disgust) By the ways, I am NOT afraid of anyone, anyone at all. You wanna try that kid ? Now get off me, will you?”

Now well, Dave can pretend to get commanding, even if he gets a trembling throat most of the time. But this time, he could convince himself that he saw that taken-aback kind of look on Pearl’s face and that is a sign of victory.

Nevertheless, twenty minutes later, someone just saw Dave parking himself , closest to Pearl and his face dug into the Lunch kit of Pearl’s and if the listener was not wrong, this is what he heard Dave say ,

“I Looovvvveeeeeeeeeeeee Egg Bacons…hmmmmmmmmmm “ .
