It was a typical Thursday afternoon in a community college, and I just got out of my biology lab lecture. It was a really exhausting week, and I’m glad to say to start the weekend. I drove my way home listening to music.

As I arrived home at the dinner table, my little brother OP was telling the whole family about a back to school game night at his high school, ironically the school I just graduated from and the school our cousins Jasper, Lupe, and Feliz are currently attending. My older brother Nicolas and my other cousin Thomas were unable to make it because of work, and my little sister Olivia is at cheerleading practice in her middle school.

Back to school night is different in most years. As the parents and guardians meet with our teachers in each of their child’s classes, the students and the rest of the family members (in other words us) have to stay in the school cafeteria for a barbecue and a game. There was bingo, monopoly, uno, jenga, sorry, etc.

OP and Jasper’s annoying chemistry classmate Teacher’s Pet comes over to play bingo with us. So we played bingo. We played 4 rounds of bingo, and the Teacher’s Pet kept losing each round of bingo. In the first round Jasper got a bingo. In the second round Lupe got a bingo. In the third round, OP got a bingo. And in the fourth Felix got a bingo.

As we were all playing the fifth round of bingo, I finally got a bingo and announced it. When the teacher’s pet saw my bingo card, he cleared all of my bingo checkers by dumping them and saying, “nope this was not a bingo.” The whole family saw that it was an actual bingo, and this pisses Jasper off.

This started a fight when Jasper threw the first punch at the teacher’s fight which lead to OP and Felix joining in. Everyone in the cafeteria stopped what they were doing to watch my family beat up the teacher’s pet. Then the principal came along and kicked all of us out of the cafeteria, and assigned my brother, my cousins, and the teachers pet one week of lunch detention including Lupe, even though Lupe didn’t even do anything. The whole family was so disappointed and we were all so embarrassed.

I went to visit my cousins and my brother in detention and bring them lunch from McDonald’s.

“Thanks Nephrite.” said OP. “Next time back to school night happens, we’re staying home or literally doing anything other attend family game night.”

“That’s a good idea.” said Lupe.

“I agree.” said Jasper.

“Same here.” said Felix.

“Of course.” I said.
