Mr. MacKinnon wanted to find a way to seem more "hip" and "cool" so that his friends would like him more. He went and got a fresh new haircut, some cool new clothes, a drone, and a PS4.

One day Mrs. Bergeson was walking down the 3-5 hallway on her way to lunch. When she walked into teacher's lounge, she found no one else was there yet. She was the first one! This never happened, and this was a big deal because the school had bought all the teachers lunch today and it was pizza! Mrs. Bergeson found herself overcome with hunger and greed and realized what she wanted to do. She wanted ALL of the pizza. She grabbed every pizza box and sneaked out the back door. She ran outside and around the school and made it back to her room and locked the door without anyone noticing. She ate all of the pizza and was so full that she couldn't move. When the other teachers came to the teacher's lounge looking for the pizza, they noticed she was the only one that wasn't there. They made their way to her room and found her sitting sadly (with a stomach ache) surrounded by empty pizza boxes.
