• The bell rang, and even though I was used to hearing that sound every school day, this time it seemed 10 times louder, longer, and mocking than ever. I knew why but still groaned. This bell signified it was time to get BOB. Oh how I despise that orange chunk of pages that everyone knows really has no purpose other than to cause us pain, humiliation, and boredom. Over 2000 pages long, 4 inches deep, 13 inches along the spine, and 10 inches in width across the top and bottom. Even though I've never read them, I know that even though it might have less pages, BOB is way heavier than any of the Harry Potter books. You can't even fit it in your backpack unless you take everything else out or you happen to use a huge suitcase as your backpack. Nope, you have to carry it in front of you and hold onto it for dear life as you go through the crowded high school halls. If you don't hold onto it tight enough, someone can knock it out of your hands and have it land on your feet causing you about the same amount of pain as if a Shetland pony had stepped on your foot. Trust me, I know they feel equally bad from expierience. But that is not the only thing that can happen if you don't clutch that sick orange abomination as close to you as you can. You might be lucky and blessed enough to not have it land on your feet, but everyone knows how the hallways are during passing period, people don't stop to help you out or pick it up for you. Instead they trample all over it, a stampede of children and teachers and there's nothing you can do about it. What's the big deal? Wouldn't you want that non-living thing to die? Of course you would! It just so happens that if anything happens to BOB you have to pay about $200-400 for a replacement. Unless you just won the lottery, nobody would want to waste that much money on something as dumb and meaningless as that BIG ORANGE BOOK. I would love to throw a huge bonfire party using all of the BOBs as the firewood but I can't. Nobody can and it sucks epically. So beware those of you who havn't entered the realm of high school yet, beware of the BOB. Now for those of you older people on here who never had to deal with this horrible orange fate, at least try to feel our pain. You may say childhood is the best time in a person's life. Well that's true, but being a teen in high school is not pat of your childhood. It is your worst nightmare that you have to live over and over again for at least FOUR YEARS! SOMETIMES MORE! Fellow students who know about this dreaded BOB, help spread the word so that one day we can again live in peace and overthrow these mighty books. LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN! PeAcE OuT! exclaim xp lol heart
