Stephon and I were starting to get a little risky now as we tossed the egg much higher on each throw, and we knew it was only a matter of a few more throws before one of us missed a catch.
"No, Stephon, that's too high," I shouted as I lost sight of the egg in the sky as the sun was shining down directly into my eyes. At the last second, I saw it coming right for my face and that's when it happened. Splat! The egg broke directly on my nose and the cold, runny yolk immediately seeped into my eyes, up my nose, and into my mouth.
"Dudes, check it out," Justin shouted, pointing his finger right at my face as I struggled to get the yolk out of my eyes. Everyone was laughing so hard by now, including the teachers.
At once, I decided to pretend that I was a monster and began rubbing both of my hands over my face in order to get as much slimy egg yolk on my fingers as possible. "I am the monster of Eli Terry School and I have come to slime you over." My first targets were many of the boys who frantically tried to get away from me, but not before I slimed them over pretty good. Jason took a direct shot of yolk right to his cheek as I flung my hand in his direction and Noah didn't fare much better as I snuck up to him and wiped my fingers all through his hair.
"Aww, dude, you die," Noah furiously shouted once he realized what had happened.
Before things got out of hand, Mr. Federici stopped the nonsense, although it was clear to see that he was enjoying the show quite a bit himself. "Okay, Joey, that's enough now. Let's get you cleaned up." Before I knew what was happening, a towel was thrust into my face and began cleaning up all of the sticky egg yolk. In no time at all, I was as clean as a whistle, not to mention any of the other boys who had become my victims in the attack.
"Let's get a nice round of applause for all of our contestants in the egg toss," Mrs. Sevick stated. "All of you did a great job and I think we will definitely have to do this once again next year."
"It was really fun," Jenny declared. "You should definitely do it with every year's fourth grade class."
"Joey and Stephon, please come here," Mrs. Sevick asked, and once she had us at her side, she gave each one of us a big blue ribbon with a giant gold star in the middle of it. "Congratulations to this year's winners of the egg toss." At once, everyone began cheering and clapping for us, and I had never felt so special in all of my time at Eli Terry. Whether my classmates were boys or girls, each one of them was clapping for me with a big smile on their face which made me feel so proud and happy. It really was times like this when I felt so special and knew that I was loved by so many people. It surely was the best feeling in the whole wide world!
