Page Eight

Bulk and Skull are now in the Wanna-Be Fire Fighters club and they are ready to make a presentation, despite Miss Appleby's protests. Aisha tells Miss Appleby it's okay. Bulk wants to present a slide show of his family bar-be-que and what fire fighters across the country referred to as the big one. Skull has trouble getting the screen up. Despite warnings from Aisha and Billy, Bulk puts in another plug into the outlet. Sparks begin to fly, and soon there is a small electrical fire. The class immediately gets out of their chairs and backs up. Aisha springs into action, unplugging the plugs and using the fire extinguisher. Once the fire is out, Miss Appleby calls the students back to their seats. Bulk tries to pretend this was part of his presentation, but Aisha sets the record straight by telling the class it was a good example of what not to do. Miss Appleby praises Aisha and the class applauds. Aisha is thrilled.

Aisha, Kimberly, Adam, Billy, Rocky, Tommy, Bulk, and Skull are in Miss Appleby's class. Miss Appleby reminds the class that the assignment was to bring in a childhood photograph and to share with us a memorable experience at that age. Miss Appleby asks who would like to begin? Several teens raise their hands. Miss Appleby calls on Aisha. Aisha walks up to the front of the class.
