Adding Spice To Life

Doing crazy things doesn't make an individual insane, it adds spice to life; I did lots of harmless, foolish things to bring my classmates out of depression and make them laugh heartily. Eric was the weirdest kid in our English class, he was depressed a lot and kept to himself, and with his morbid looks, one couldn't help feeling sorry for him; I had a plan to snap him out of it. That gloomy Monday morning our teacher, Mrs. Armstrong, was reading from Shakespeare's play, " Hamlet " making us feel his madness, how he planned to commit murder... goose bumps appeared on everybody's skin! Eric started to shake as if he were coming for him. I looked at him at him and said, " What's the matter? Eric, you don't like the play? " " No," he answered in a sarcastic way... " Blood makes me faint! " " Look, Hamlet is thinking of murder, and hasn't killed anyone yet, but wait...it gets scarier when he freaks out and does it! " Eric stared at me and trembling murmured, " What do you mean by that? " " Buddy, since you are afraid of blood, you shouldn't be in this class, and if you feel like vomiting , go to the rest room! " As a lighting flashing, Eric with encroached hands on his belly, ran out of the class room without saying anything. " Where are you going Eric ? " Mrs Armstrong asked. But Eric kept going, giving her a sickly look. " I will expel you from my English class! " She exclaimed with a maddening gaze. " Excuse him, Mrs Armstrong...he's not feeling well, he drank half gallon of spoiled milk and he needs to vomit! " I screamed back with soaring anger. Everyone started to laugh and induced vomiting. "Not here! Not here! Everybody leave!" she yelled with exaggerated commotion by dropping her book on her coffee cup...Ah! It splashed by turning her white face black! " Run, everybody, run...she's another crazy Hamlet! " And jumping up for joy, I was happy to have made everyone laugh!
