The Pep Rally - Chapter VII

The Pep Rally is a story that I wrote in High School. If you haven't read the first 6 chapters, here are the links:

Chapters I, II, and III.

Chapter IV

Chapter V

Chapter VI

Chapter VII - Who me?

"This friday's skit is not going to be your usual skit." announced Chaz. No one appreciated the irony at the time.

"Today's skit would not involve football players and cheerleaders, but instead, eight randomly chosen students". (Actually, seven randomly chosen students and one purposefully chosen student who had made the unfortunate mistake of up-chucking on the captain of the football team's Members-Only jacket earlier in the day.)

As the first seven names were called out, the students were led to the auditorium floor, blindfolded, and seated in chairs, one beside the other. Johnny was totally surprised when his name was called, but he stood up and shuffled to the front to take his seat beside the others.

As he was being blindfolded Johnny felt a little apprehensive.

What was going to happen?

However, once the laughter started Johnny felt a little more at ease. What ever was going on, the other students were loving it.

Johnny sat patiently and waited, laughter surrounding him.

Could this be a turning point in his life?
