A few minutes into the class, Ms. Penelope asked for Cry, and I to come up to the front of the class. Kind of scared about what'll happen if we refused, we walked to the front of the class. Ms. Penelope had turned us into puppets, marionettes, to be exact. The entire class, minus out best friend Angelita, were being way too, enthusiastic about the outcome of Ms. Penelope's magic on Cry Baby, and I. I am not going to lie now, when this happened, I was absolutely terrified. Cry and I both sung Show & Tell by Melanie Martinez
"You pull me by my hair, so I don't go nowhere
Tell me you love me, but you treat me like I'm never there
You say the cruelest words, you used to break my heart
'Cause I'm over here working my ass off
Why is it so hard to see? (Why?)
If I cut myself, I would bleed (kill me)
I'm just like you, you're like me
Imperfect and human, are we?
Show and tell
I'm on display for all you f*ckers  to see
Show and tell
Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me
Buy and sell (buy and sell me, baby)
Like I'm a product to society
Art don't sell
Unless you f*cked every authority
You beg and cry for more, he had 'em on the floor
There are strangers takin' pictures of me when I ask, "No more"
It's really hard for me to say just how I feel
I'm scared that I'll get thrown away like a banana peel
Why is it so hard to see? (Why?)
If I cut myself, I would bleed (kill me)
I'm just like you, you're like me
Imperfect and human, are we?
Show and tell (show and tell)
I'm on display for all you fuckers to see (fuckers to see)
Show and tell (show and tell)
Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me
Buy and sell (buy and sell)
Like I'm a product to society
Art don't sell
Unless you f*cked every authority
Show and tell
Why can't you f*cking hear me?
Show and tell, um
Are you listening yet?
Show and tell (show and tell, baby)
I'm on display for all you f*ckers to see (f*ckers to see)
Show and tell (oh)
Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me
Buy and sell
Like I'm a product to society
Art don't sell
Unless you f*cked every authority." We sung, together, the entire class dove and reached for us, once we were thrown across the room.

What really made me happy about the whole thing, was that once it was over, none of the kids wanted our "Marionette" forms, because once Cry and I, were thrown across the room, it looked like We looked like needed medical attention, badly, but that was just our "Marionette" forms. Once we turned back to normal, which was soon after we were thrown across the room, my head was spinning, and I felt like I was going to get sick. I felt so bad. Cry was just shaking, she was shaken up by the entire thing.
