"AHH! A SPIDER! SOMEONE COME OVER HERE AND KILL IT!!!"
It was before class started so there was a handful of us in the classroom. We all went over to where the panicked girl was pointing and gasped. The spider was pretty huge, about as big as my palm.
Everyone started backing away from it as it started to move its long gangly legs. Even my teacher started backing away from it, though he was a pretty big guy and could probably crush it with his big toe.
Everyone watched, then jumped back as it started scampering across the floor making its way toward the girl who had initially screamed at it. Of course by now, she was screaming even louder and harder than earlier, as she climbed onto the top of her desk.
Without thinking, I caught up to it and stomped down on it. When I lifted my foot I saw that it had curled up to half its size and its legs were twitching, a safe sign that it was pretty much dead. That's when my teacher finally came over with some tissues and picked it up, then threw it into the trash.
"Allen you're so brave!" The girl climbed back down from her desk and hugged me. "Unlike some guys in here." She added, glaring over at some of the football jocks who had jumped back earlier when the spider had started its mad dash. "You really saved my life." The girl continued, "I dunno if you could tell, but I'm terrified of spiders." She blushed sheepishly.
"Yeah." I smiled at her. Me too…
Sitting in class I kept thinking about the spider and how it lay on the ground, curled up, twitching as the last of its energy caused its nerves to spaz. It really hadn't done anything had it? Although I may have "saved" my classmate's life… I realized that me killing the spider wasn't brave at all. It was cowardly. My actions really did speak louder than my words: I hate spiders.
Has anyone seen the bio lab's class pet, Phillip?
