Drug Dogs

Today, just as I was taking a secretive bite out of my granola bar in 3rd period, the secretary came over the intercom announcing that we were in a "code yellow with bags". None of us students knew what that meant. Our teacher told us to take our backpacks out to the hallway. Some of the students started zipping their bags or grabbing things out of it, but they were yelled at. We were instructed not to touch our bags except to drag them out to the hallway. I looked down at the open granola bar sticking out of the top pocket of my backpack and sighed. Right as I set my bag down in the hallway, everything made sense. I heard a sharp dog bark and looked up to see a bunch of cops and a couple of dogs standing outside of the office. I walked back into the classroom with the rest of my classmates, and everything was so quiet that we could hear the dogs walking around the hallways. Then it hit me. I looked over at my friend Katie and asked, "Can drug dogs sniff out Mydol and Motrin?". She said, "Yes, probably." My stomach and brain were going crazy. Not only did I have Mydol in my locker, I had Motrin in my backpack in an unlabeled bottle, and my inhaler in my track/softball locker. And according to school rules, all medications are supposed to be kept in the office. I was freaking out. So many thoughts were running through my head, for some reason I was envisioning them as headlines, "Teenage 4.0 student expelled from school after drug dogs find menstrual cycle medication, hopes and dreams to become a CRNA, dashed" or "Unlabeled Motrin, teen receives drug possession charges". I was freaking out. Finally, an "all clear" was called and we were able to go get our bags. I hurried out to the hallway; mine was still sitting there, exactly how I had left it. Back in the classroom I checked inside my bag, my unlabeled Motrin was still in there, but one thing was missing... my half eaten granola bar! The drug dogs took my breakfast! I was not in a very good mood after that. At lunch, John told me that three kids in his 3rd period speech class were caught with drugs in their backpacks/lockers. Why are people so stupid? Some people's kids.
