Creepy Crawly Thing

I walked into my normal history class with not that many people around but the bell about to ring for the class to start. Like always, everyone started walking in at the last minute.

So, I was unpacking my bag like any other person on the floor; when all of a sudden I see a huge thing crawling on the floor back and forth towards me.


"AAH!" I yelled out running to the door where Ms. Trius was, as if I were being attacked from a gigantic monster. I was holding my red 'JanSports' bag and I was trying to keep myself together, feeling my heart beating up and down in my chest from the scare that happened in matter of seconds while I was unpacking.


"What, What's wrong?" Ms. Trius was asking me in panic, as if I were being killed by the way I screamed.


"There's a cockroach on the floor," I told her with my frightened voice. I wasn't sure if it was trembling but I could feel my throat swell up from the scar.


"Oh," she huffed in relief. "You're scared of a cockroach?"


"Yes," I nodded with a fake smile laughing at myself still in shock.


While I was telling her what just happened Aaron and Donovan came to the rescue and killed the cockroach while I left the room to put my bag away and wait until the cockroach was dead.


"Madison, you know that that cockroach is more scared of you than you are to him," Aaron told me after we sat down at our table.


"I know," I told him. But that is no consolation, they are still gross!



You might think I'm not scared of many things, because I don't really talk about my fears as much as others do. I don't go telling people; I'm scared of birds, I'm scared of spiders, I'm scared of turantula. But, now you and I know that I have relized that I freak out if I see a cockroach.
