September Prompt

A schoolroom scene in book or film

Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink

Chapter VI. A Schoolroom Battle

Instantly the schoolroom was in an uproar. Obediah lurched forward and caught hold of Caddie's curls, and Tom and Warren, sensing danger to Caddie, began leaping over benches and desks to get to her tormentor. But, if the Woodlawns were clannish, so were the Joneses. Ashur threw himself in Tom's way, and the two went down together, rolling and kicking, under the desks and benches. Clattering slates and the shrieks of frightened little girls mingled with the shouts of boys. 

 Miss Parker, who had been calmly ringing the last bell, rushed in to behold her schoolroom in complete disorder.

 "Boys! Girls! she cried. "Stop! Stop at once!"

 The noise began to die away. The shrieking girls and shouting boys slipped into their seats. Tom and Ashur ceased pommeling each other and crawled out from under the desks, looking a little ashamed of themselves. But in the middle of the room Caddie and Obediah still struggled and fought, Obediah pulling her curls this way and that and Caddie getting a kick on his shins whenever she could. They looked with awed faces from Miss Parker to the struggling pair. What would Miss Parker do? Her mouth had set in a hard, thin line.
