No talking [antikvár]

CHAPTER ZIPPED Dave Packer was in the middle of his fourth hour of not talking. He was also in the middle of his social studies class on a Monday morning in the middle of November. And Laketon Elementary School was in the middle of a medium-size town in the middle of New Jersey. There was a reason Dave was in the middle of his fourth hour of not talking, but this isn't the time to tell about that. This is the time to tell what he figured out in the middle of his social studies class. Dave figured out that not talking is extra hard at school. And the reason? Teachers. Because at 11:35 Mrs. Overby clapped her hands and said, "Class— class! Quiet down!" Then she looked at her list and said, "Dave and Lynsey, you're next." So Dave nodded at Lynsey and stood up. It was time to present their report about India.
