It was her giggling(咯咯的笑)that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
　　Walking over to the offender, I asked for the    . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet     between teacher and student. When she finally    it over, she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
　　It was a hand-drawn    of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” ing out of my mouth.
　　 I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,     , was working angrily as I struggled not to     . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some    to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
