Out of the blue, Ericka came out of nowhere and tried to cut the line, just when it's Valentine's turn.Valentine lose her temper and started to spit out her anger towards Ericka. "Hey Ericka! We were queuing in the line for ages. Don't think that you could just cut the line like that, Blondie!"--"Why can't I?" replied Ericka sarcastically and unfortunately, that was the last straw for Valentine. She pulled Ericka's perfect, blonde hair very hard and she was shouting in pain. She tried to fight back by throwing a plate of spaghetti on Valentine's face. Not long after, a food fight begun and the cafeteria was full of various food on the floor, tables and even walls!
Unluckily, the chaos was heard by Mrs. Wright, who was passing by the cafeteria. She quickly barged in and her jaws were wide open, watching students covered by food all over. At the top of her voice, she ordered "Stop it for once!" Everyone stopped whatever they are doing and those who were on tables, slowly climbed down. "Now speak! Who started this whole mess? And I shall punish him or her, badly!" A voice shouted, "Valentine is the one who started all this! She is to be blamed!" It was Ericka and she came forward while having her finger pointed out towards Valentine. Mrs. Wright was so angry that she dragged Valentine and Ericka, both to the principal office.
Half an hour later, they got out from the principal's office. Valentine approached Jenny and Amy with a long face. "Why the long face? What happened? Did you tell them that Ericka started it first?" asked Jenny repeatedly. "I did try to explain to them about the truth. But it's worthless because Mrs. Wright was on Ericka's side. She blamed me for the thing and the principal believed her without any further questions. As a result, I got detention for a week and I have to help the janitor to clean up the cafeteria!" replied Valentine unsatisfactorily. Amy tried to calm her down and told that Jenny and her could lend a hand with a cleaning, later. Soon, the three of them walked home.
AT HOME
"I'm home!" announced Jenny when she arrived at her house. Her mom greeted her with a warm smile and offered a plate of freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies, which is Jenny's favorite. "Hey honey! How's the first day of school after a long break?" asked Mrs. Simpson. "Well, there's nothing exciting happened. But it wasn't a good day for Valentine, mom," she replied while having a small bite of one of the delicious cookies. Her mom asked her about what happened and she spilled everything to her. "Oh dear! That's terrible. How could the teacher be so unfair?" exclaimed Mrs. Simpson. Jenny remained silent and pretend not to listen. Only Jenny and her friends know how Mrs. Wright is. She grabbed her bag and went upstairs to have a hot shower. Her mom just looked at her and then continue preparing for dinner.
