My pens and pencils neatly arranged. From largest to smallest. From shortest to tallest. My markers perfectly aligned. ROYGBIV. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet Rule to live by. In order of the Rainbow. Aesthetically pleasing. Perfect. My erasers meticulously stacked. widest to thinnest. My pencil case empty. The teacher approaches the board. I grab a number two pencil from the small end. (get the weak out of the way) I am ready to go. Ready for action. Prepared for anything and everything. James comes up to my desk, grabs it with two hands and shakes it. My masterpiece crashes to the ground. I was not prepared for that. He laughs. I cry. Whaddya have to do that for?
