I’M TENSE

One hour before the History test. The pressure was on. I admit it. Even Bernie Bridges felt a little tense.

The Rotten House dorm has a Study Hal Room downstairs. I went there to study because I knew it would be quiet. No one has used this room in a hundred years.

I pushed away the cobwebs. Then I hunched over the table. My eyes scanned the History textbook. I knew the imports and exports of every country in South America.

But my brain was fried from al this studying. Does tin come from Bolivia or Peru? Are the jute mines in Chile or Paraguay? And what the heck is jute?

How could I keep it al straight?

I looked up and saw Mrs. Heinie staring at me. Her eyes bulged behind her thick glasses. Her mouth was open in surprise.

“Bernie? You’re in the Study Hal Room?” she said. “Should I cal for the nurse?”

“I’m studying for the History test,” I said. “It’s important to be an outstanding student.”

“I’d better cal the nurse,” Mrs. H. said. “You must have a high fever. You’re talking crazy.”

“No, I’m not,” I said. I jumped to my feet and shook her hand. “You’ve inspired me, Mrs. Heinie. You’ve set the right example for me. Thanks to you, I want to spend my life learning, learning, LEARNING.”

“Now I know you’re sick,” Mrs. Heinie replied. “Now I’m really going to keep an eye on you, Bernie.”
