Katie's Dreams story 1: the bird-eating tarantula

Mar 02, 2008

I am starting what I guess would be a blog of short stories that happen to be one of my friend's dreams. I don't have interesting dreams, so I used hers and expand of them.
It was 7th period at Rockwall-Heath High School and Mrs. Bennett was trying to teach Freshmen and Sophomores geometry. As usual these students were not listening. Everyone was talking. A few girls in the corner were talking about what parties they are going to attend this coming weekend, some nerdy guys in the middle of the class were talking about the new level they just beat on their favorite video game. Katie just came back from Washington D.C. a few days before, and as she was talking to her friend Tabatha Broom, she saw the one thing that freaked her out the most during that trip. At first she thought she was tripping, but it was so real.
It was the same spider she saw at the zoo in Washington D.C. It was a gigantic bird-eating tarantula. It was just sitting on the wall of Mrs. Bennett’s portable classroom’s wall. That is if spiders even sit, however, it was there and she was sure of it. After the initial shock of seeing the spider there, she finally jumped up and ran to the other side of the extremely small classroom. As she was running, she tripped over a piece of paper, which turned out to be Sydney Verdun’s test from the past week. She scored a 95.
Seeing Katie screaming at the top of her lungs and pointing at the wall, Mrs. Bennett grabbed some tissues and ran over to the wall where the enormous spider was. She hadn’t realized how huge the spider was and when she tried to smack it with the Kleenex tissues, she just pissed it off. It then jumped off the wall and ran after Katie. She freaked out and jumped on top of one of the empty desks near her. The spider tried to jump at Katie, but in mid-jump, Mrs. Bennett finally hit it, and it flew out the window onto the grass.
Blaine and Trevor (the kid that worked at Pizza Ghetti for about a week) got in a fight and Blaine ran out the classroom door, not thinking about the spider, and Trevor ran out after him. This gave the spider plenty of time to get in the doorway. Once in the classroom, class had started back up and no one even realized it was in there. So it slowly crept up to where Katie was sitting and ate her foot whole.
