***The World is a Chewing Gum***


Last Monday, March 19, 2007, a terrifying scandal which ruin our relationship with our adviser, Madame Gallo and that was the chewing gum issue. It started around 7:30 - 8:30 in the morning when Madame Gallo entered to our room during her class time to I-Bartlett. Madame Gallo started teaching us, all things at that time were fine. Then suddenly, Madame Gallo felt that there is something in her pants, something bothering her and something wet and sticky. Then she finally found out what kept her bothering and that was a chewing gum, a yucky and sticky chewing gum.
When Madame recognized the chewing gum, she spoke up to the class and said that what was happening to her pants. I saw in the face of Madame Gallo that she was so angry , very angry to the person who put the chewing gum in the teacher's chair. All of us were chatting about what happened. Madame turned teaching us and while Madame was teaching, I noticed to her face a mark of an angry person. After the bell rang, Madame asked us why did we put chewing gum to her chair? And if it is not intentional, why the person who put the chewing gum stick the chewing gum to the teacher's chair? When he/she can throw outside the chewing gum or put in another place. Madame Gallo also said that we will have a twenty-point deduction in our last periodical exam. Then all the people got panic and asking one another that who put the chewing gum and some said that who put the chewing gum might die. Then minutes passed by, all of the Bartlett students were still not fine because of what happened. At the end of the morning class, again, we were not still okay. Some of my classmates said that Madame Gallo's treatment to them was different from before the chewing gum issue happened. Most of the students were chatting during afternoon. I joined to their conversation and then I found what they were talking about was the suspect of the "crime". As what I heard, the person they thought the suspect of the crime loves to eat bubblegum and if they are mot mistaken, that person was chewing a bubblegum two days before the chewing gum crime happened. A lot of my classmates said that they saw that person chewing a gum so they thought that person was the suspect. After that day, when we met Madame Gallo again during her class to I-Bartlett. As the things went on, it was all fine,it seemed that nothing was happened yesterday but that was just a thought because at the end of the discussion, Madame Gallo uttered, "All of you have 50-point deduction instead of 20-point in your periodical exam". After we heard those words uttered by Madame Gallo, some of my classmates were crying because of the deduction and also because Madame Gallo had hatred with us and perhaps, we will not be forgive by Madame Gallo until her last days in UP High. After Madame Gallo went out, all of us were busy planning doing something so that Madame Gallo will forgive us. So we made a banner telling sorry to Madame Gallo. Unfortunately, Madame Gallo had a meeting and the faculty was already off-limits for the students so were not able to say Madame Gallo to ask forgiveness to Madame Gallo at that time. Tomorrow morning came, the first two periods will be handled by Madame Gallo. So when Madame Gallo entered into the room, we right away say sorry to Madame Gallo and there two students were holding the banner saying sorry and that we love Madame Gallo. Then Madame spoke, suddenly she cried. When the tears of Madame Gallo fell down, our tears too fell down. At that time, were already forgiven by our beloved teacher and then the normal day we used to with Madame Gallo came back.
