17- Luke TRANSCRIPTION (Because of Mr. Terupt)

Transcript
We spread out all over the place, tossing our cardboard squares and counting the blades of grass. Peter, however, was flinging his square like a Frisbee, even though Mr. Terupt had warned us that it wasn’t a toy and to be careful throwing it.

Maybe if things had turned out differently that day, they would have turned out differently in the end, too. I think what happened on the soccer field just set us up for disaster later on.

So Peter was being his typical sneaky self, flinging his square and counting here and there. But as soon as he spotted Alexia bent over her square, he wound up and sailed a beauty in her direction. It was a perfect delivery (dollar word) that tattooed (dollar word) her fanny.

“Ow!” she screeched. “Like, what the heck!”

“What happened?” Mr. Terupt instantly twisted (dollar word) around.

“Like, someone just hit me right in my tushie with their square,” Alexia cried.

“The ol’ buttocks again, huh,” Mr. Terupt said. “You okay?”

“Yes,” Alexia said.

Mr. Terupt turned and looked out at us. We were laughing our heads off, and I swear I saw him smile as he shook his head at the whole scene. “Peter, come over here, please,” he said.

“Why me?” Peter complained.

“Because we all know how much you like the buttocks area, don’t we?”

Classic Mr. Terupt. Instead of blowing up, he was funny about it, but in a serious way. He sat Peter out for the rest of the activity and had a talk with him. Peter didn’t pretend to be innocent. But like I said, I think this set us up for later. The whole thing seemed funny. No one got hurt. Peter sat out. That was it.

Once we finished tossing and counting, we headed inside, where we learned how to average all our data. Then we took our average number and used it to predict the soccer field total by figuring out how many of our squares could fit inside the field.
