As I sit I feel before I can hear the vibrations of human feet coming down the halls. I'm sitting in the corner of the big room I have heard called "Junior English" by some humans I happened to be getting a snack from. What a lunch! The big human had this sandwich that ... well, that's beside the point.

Anyhow, the vibrations have gotten stronger and the noise that the humans make is barely tolerable. At least they get quiet when the electronic bells ring and the female leader calls their attention. Those almost adult humans are the worst! I start looking for a good place to sit and wait, out of sight cause I know that they would try to squash me again.

The big paper posters that plastered the walls were usually a good spot. Most humans don't bother looking at them half the time, much less checking for me. The female leader sometimes changes them; usually when the air changes temperatures. These posters have small cuddly baby animals on them like puppies and kittens, yuck! I really don't feel like climbing on the walls right now, especially since the almost adult humans are starting to come into the room. They are noisy and make the ground shake terribly. The carpet makes it easier for my six little legs to hold on. If I had tried to climb the wall to get to the posters one of those obnoxious humans would probably get me and torture me or feed me to the pet frogs.

I run to one of the chair like things with a big table attached to it that the humans sit in. I think they call it a "desk." Anyway, I climb up the cold metal desk leg a little and where the leg and the seat attach to each other. They usually don't look here for me either. Only problem is that I can't really see anything.

I hear the electronic bells ring and the female leader make the same words she says every day. Except for the extra vibrations of two more humans approaching the big room, everything is normal. A male leader and the female leader start speaking to each other and one set of vibrations goes away from the big room. Then a set of vibrations comes up to my "desk", MY "desk". The chair jerks and I fall to the ground. I scurry across the carpet to the wall and climb up to a poster after all.

I look back at the beast that caused me to fall. It is a male almost adult. He is talking to the male almost adult next to him and pointing to the female leader. Then he points at a female almost adult in front of him. He shows his teeth and the walls vibrate as he propels his "desk" up to hers, then a bump. He starts speaking quietly to her. She turns around and speaks back then turns back to the front of the big room. I crawl up the wall to the ceiling and along the ceiling so that I am positioned above the "desk" I was previously occupying. The male starts marking a piece of paper and gives it to the female. She looks at it, marks it some more, and hands it back. The male looks at it again and the viciously crumbles it up and throws it across the room. Many of the other almost adults take notice and speak quietly. I scramble the rest of the way to a wall and then down to the floor. I make a quick stop at an old soda stain and get some left over sugar on a leg for later. Then off I go toward the big room where they have lots and lots of food. That's my favorite place to go. They have something new everyday. Yesterday they had this meat like thing...
