Pāhonoa te oro

I tried not to laugh in class today. You know when it’s dead silent? Yeah, that moment. My friend whispered something dumb and I lost it. I tried turning it into a cough… worst mistake. It came out like a dying engine. Everyone turned and looked at me. Even the teacher paused. I sat there fighting for my life like it was a boss battle. I survived… but my reputation didn’t.
