Can you redeem yourselves Dream Team?

     The Dream Team: DESTROYED. Yup, I said it. I beat the Dream Team. I'm sure it is very hard for Sam, Alex, Thomas, and John to swallow this fact but they can't deny the truth. It was a day of a terrible blizzard (one that should have definitley been a snow day, might I add). I woke up late because my alarm did not go off. I threw on sweat pants and a sweatshirt and drove five miles per hour to school Tokyo drifting the whole way there. I probably scared kids when they saw me running through the hallway with no make up on, my hair an afro mess, and my back pack half way open. I made it just in time for English class and for the day that Ms. Serensky would reveal the correct answers to the AP multiple choice test. Of course, The Dream Team was already huddled in the back corner, heads pushed together devising their plan. They were laughing and smiling, looking devilishly excited for what they thought would be yet another victory. Ms. Serensky announced the answer to number one: “B. That goes to Teams 3 and 5," she exclaimed. Of course Team 5, The Dream Team, answered correctly and it "made [them] feel, for those brief minutes, the absolute center of [the] world" (Lahiri 129). Yet, something wasn't quite right. Team 3, my team, started slowly noticing the increase in tally marks compared to the boys. They argued with one another after missing more and more questions. I bet Thomas was thinking in his head, "I had rather be a toad/And live upon the vapor of a dungeon" than to lose to them" (Shakespeare 3.3.66-67). John was screaming beating his fists on the table after yet another incorrect answer. The final scores were announced and my team ended up winning the 10 bonus points! We were so happy that our modesty and humbleness put our team at the top.. I will never forget the shocked looks on their faces. The Dream Team coming in second place for an AP multiple choice game is one of the best examples of simultaneous disappointment that I have ever seen. This day was by far my favorite day in AP English 12. “At last! At last! At last!” we put The Dream Team in their place (Wilde 54).
