classroom murder

     Josh and Alex were just two ordinary teenagers. They liked to play xbox but they did not really care for their english teacher. Mr. Potter was thier english teacher. He gave out crazy assignments like blogs, reading books and reading short stories. Josh and Alex hated doing these things but especially Alex. Alex usually just blew off assignments when he didnt feel like doing them. He really wanted to get back at Mr. Potter because his grade in english brought his grade point average down. Al always thought about that but never really pulled through on anything.

     Talking over xbox live on a Saturday night Al said " Dude Mr. Potter is so annoying I hate the stupid assignments he gives us. We should pull a prank on him to get him back for making us do all this stupid stuff." "Yeah that would be awesome but what would we do to him", replied Josh. They both thought about it for a while but they were stumped and couldnt come up with any cool pranks to do. Later that night Josh said " we cant really do anything to crazy because we will get suspended or something." " Yeah I know it sucks, we should just lock him outside of the room or something" said Alex. " Okay that we be pretty funny, lets do it this friday" said Josh.

     As the days went by Alex arrived late to english almost every day that week. This was normal for him and it made Mr. Potter very aggrivated. Finally it was Friday and Josh and Alex were ready to pull their prank on Mr. Potter. There plan was for Al to leave the door open when he came in because he was always the last one in the room. Then Mr Potter would have to get up and go close the door. When he was in the hallway closing the door Alex would pull the door shut and lock it. Next Josh would wedge the door shut with a chair just in case he had a key on him. Josh arrived a few minutes early to class and anxiously waited for Alex. Alex slowly strolled in the room and his excuse for being late was that he was putting his contacts in. He made sure to leave the door wide open so Mr. Potter would have no trouble noticing it. Mr. Potter saw it but as he stood up to go close the door the lights suddenly shut off. They then flickered and came back on. Everyone seemed confused and then a couple students screamed. Alex was on the ground with his neck twisted. He was dead.

     The whole class ran into the hallway as fast as they could. Everyone was shocked, scared and confused. The police showed up and started investigating the scene. Josh was very shaken up by this because Alex was one of his close friends. He started talking to another student in his class named Will. Will happened to be an aspiring detective. He was very interested in the murder that had just taken place. " It had to be Mr. Potter that did this. Hes the only one that had a motive to kill Alex. You know how mad he gets at him when he doesnt do his blogs and especially when hes late to class. And Alex was late to class everyday this week. I know it sounds crazy but maybe Mr. Potter is a physco or something " said Will to Josh. " Yeah I guess that makes sense but I dont know if Mr. Potter would actually do that" replied Josh.

     As it turns out Will was right. The police found Mr. Potters finger prints on Alex's neck. Apparently he was a physco and Alex had always gotten on his nerves. Then when he was late to class everyday this week it pushed him over the edge and he snapped. Josh watched as Mr. Potter was put into the cop car. Just before he was driven away he looked over at Josh with a crazy smile on his face.
