11 Ch11-One Last Song

Chapter 11 One Last Song On Monday morning everybody came to school excited. We got even more excited when Miss Daisy told us to line up for music class. "Yippee!" everybody yelled, even Emily and Andrea. We couldn't wait to get to the music

room to congratulate Mr. Hynde. Everybody wanted to be the line leader. Finally we got to the music room all out of breath. But nobody was there. "Where's Mr. Hynde?" we all asked. "I'll bet he's going to make a big entrance, like he usually does," Ryan said. "I'm ready to get down and boogie," Michael said. So we waited. And we waited and waited and waited. Finally, after about a million hundred years, the door opened. And you won't believe who walked in. It was Mr. Loring! Boring, snoring Mr. Loring was stand- ing there looking as boring as ever.

Everybody gasped. "Sit down, please," Mr. Loring said. "We always sit down for music class." "Mr. Loring!" Andrea asked. "What are you doing here?" "I am here to teach music, of course," he said. "What happened to Mr. Hynde?" I asked. "Apparently he quit," said Mr. Loring. "What?" I shouted. "That's not fair!" "Principal Klutz asked me to come back," Mr. Loring said, "and I agreed, against my better judgment." Everybody moaned. Mr. Loring reached into his jacket and pulled out a piece of paper.

"Mr. Hynde left a note for you," he said. "Would you like me to read it?" "Yeah!" So Mr. Loring read Mr. Hynde's note: "I hope you dudes don't think I'm rude. Don't moan and cry 'cause I didn't say good-bye. I had to keep it real 'til I got a record deal. But now I hit it big so I quit my teaching gig. You kids are cool. I dig your school. Wherever I go, whatever I do, There's one thing true. I'll always remember you."

Emily started crying, that crybaby. Well, to be honest, we all started crying. "I realize you're sad that Mr. Hynde is no longer here," said Mr. Loring. "Maybe if we sing a song, it will make you feel better."
