So, in reading class we pretty much got to sit wherever we wanted and do just about whatever we wanted as long as we stayed in our seats. There were three groups formed around the classroom: the popular chicks (every female student that was there today except me) with two boys added in, most of the guys, and "the loners" (two boys and me) who were just scattered around in random desks on the other side of the room.
So, I'm just sitting down in my regular desk, writing a bit, looking at the other people in the room. Suddenly, one student in the all-male group shouts out, "Let's play the Quiet Game! Whoever talks is out first is out," and then the students in that group are just making hand motions and pointing at each other while occasionally making sounds that don't quite qualify as talking.
The teacher then starts watching them and said, "If I knew you'd have so much fun playing the Quiet Game, I'd have done that every day." Of course she would want all of us quiet.
