BOOM! The first punch hit a freshman square in the jaw. The freshman fell to the floor, but a friend of his was quick to retaliate. Within 30 seconds, the entire hallway was involved in a major fight. It was underclassmen versus upperclassman, and they were fighting dirty. As the students punched, kicked, and fell- two prominent figures appeared in the midst of the insanity, and all fell quiet.
The silence lasted for about a second before kids started fleeing. As the students started to run, the figures were right on their tails, throwing threats of detention and in-school suspension their way. Now, you may be wondering what two people could be so commanding that their presence in the hallways literally forces students to cease disruption, but is it really a secret? These figures were none other than Ms. Palmer and Mrs. Butler.
Ah, Palmer and Butler, Long Beach High School’s very own dynamic duo. With their speed, their authority, and their devilish good looks, how could anyone want to get on the bad side of Long Beach High School’s deans? It’s a mystery to me too, but alas, these strong woman are put to the test everyday.
One day in particular was a challenge for our lovely heroines. The day started rather nicely, it was already fourth period and only one skirmish between two sophomore girls necessitated dean-intervention. Palmer and Butler were patrolling the hallways as usual, glad for this day of joyous rest, when they heard the first crash.
The crash seemed to come from the Science Research Lab, a place where very few people have access too. Literally 98.7% of students and faculty have never been inside this room, and for good reason. It is well known that the Science Research Lab, cruel experiments are done on lizards in polka-dotted dresses.
Following the crash, they heard screams, and several animal noises. Figuring it was just another experiment, they dismissed it and went on happily patrolling their beloved hallways, because even Palmer and Butler don’t want to get involved with the atrocity of Science Research.
The day went on very nicely, and by eighth period the deans were convinced that they wouldn’t have to go through any trouble that day at all. They decided to settle down in the Teacher’s Lounge for a cup of celebratory coffee, when the deans heard the unmistakable sound of riot breaking lose, and from the sounds involved, it was a riot involving not only students, but lizards as well.
Palmer and Butler scurried through the halls so fast, they would have received tickets if they had been in Point Lookout. They located the scene of the riot, and were absolutely shocked at what they found. The Science Research kids had built an army of not only giant lizards in polka dotted dresses, but reptiles of all kinds wearing dresses of every sort! To top it off, some of these dresses were spaghetti-strapped, which is clearly against school policy!
With so many rules broken, the mutant, cross-dressing reptiles were no match for Palmer and Butler. The reptiles learned how to fight from old Jackie Chan movies, and luckily Ms. Butler is an expert in Karate. Ms. Palmer prefers not to fight, and instead protect, which makes the deans such a perfect team. Butler takes down the enemies while Palmer throws them into isolation.
After an intense showdown involving multiple practices of martial arts, and a few throws worthy of the major leagues, the battle was won. But one question still remained: was this an accident, or was there something more going on here? Could this have been an attempt to overthrow authority, or maybe just overthrow the social breakdown of a high school?
Lots of theories are still flying around Long Beach High School about this day, but the truth is still unknown. All that is known is the facts, which we have stated previously. Needless to say, what ever happened in the Science Research Lab that day was odd, and that if it hadn’t been for Ms. Palmer and Ms. Butler, we would have been in serious danger. So The Thread kindly asks you, the students of Long Beach High School, to show a little love and give our deans a break by staying out of trouble.
