The Worst Day in English Class

Last year i suffered an embarrassing moment in my high school English class. When the teacher walked in and stood in the front of the class, she said, "We were going to role play some skits today in front of class." The teacher's procedure called for forming groups that she herself selected. Interestingly, the teacher picked me to join a group of three crazy boys. Generally, I am a shy person and I dread the prospect of standing before a classroom where all eyes are upon me, and I feel like someone had just turned the spotlight on me. We got to go outside and practice what we were going to do since we were the first group to go. Are skit was about these three boys who were doing drugs. They had this friend Emily who didn't do drugs and always tried to get them to stop doing drugs. After we had got everything down that we were going to do we went back into the class and started doing the skit in front of the class. Well it started that the three boys were at one of the boys houses and they were smoking some illegal marijuana. They were doing it behind there Emily's back so that she would not get mad at them. She had already told them that if she caught them doing the drugs that she would never talk to them again until they had stopped doing them. Well she happened to go by the house and see what they were doing. Emily caught them in the act of what they said they had not been doing. She got mad and left. The tried talking to her and she didn't want to talk to them as to what she had already told them. The next week the boys went and got into a rehab to stay out of the trouble that they had been doing. They didn't want to lose their friend Emily. Emily had seen what they did so that she would want to talk to them again because they really loved having her as a friend. The story ended up all well in the class. As soon as the skit was over we all sat down so that we were not in front of the class any longer.
