Darth Paper Strikes Back by Tommy It is a dark time at McQuarrie Middle School When did it start I can tell you exactly when it started The first day of school The very first day of seventh grade We didn’t even get one good day We got like five minutes It was kind of like that scene where Han and Leia think they’re going to breakfast with Lando And they’re walking down the hall thinking I’d like some chocolate chip ________________________________________
pancakes and then they get to the dining room and all of a sudden there’s Vader And no chocolate chip pancakes So on the first morning of seventh grade we were all hanging around the library me and Sara Kellen and Rhondella Lance and Amy It just felt like everything was perfect and the whole year was going to be perfect We were all saying hello and Kellen was introducing us to this sixth-grader he knew named Murky and they were telling us this crazy story about what happened to them at the skate park over the summer because of Origami Yoda Then all of a sudden there’s Harvey Paperwad Yoda Sorry this isn’t the year of Paperwad Yoda And then he goes Bom bom bom bom-ba-bomb bom ba-bomb Vader’s theme And he sticks out his hand and there it is an origami Darth Vader made out of black paper with shiny silver eyes and a red paper lightsaber 2
There are a lot of things that might have happened next I was about to say That’s awesome because I did think it was awesome But before any of us guys could say anything like that Rhondella says Aww it’s so cute And Sara says Yeah it really is cute Harvey And Amy says He’s so teeeny Harvey was furious of course His voice got loud and high-pitched which is always a bad sign with Harvey Darth Paper is not cute he yelled I love his little lightsaber Sara squealed Will you make me a pink one asked Rhondella I should have known you people would act like this hollered Harvey I tried to calm him down a bit Harvey ree lax They’re saying they like it Here let me get a good look at it 3
