Hi, friends! I knooow This is a little bit long but it's necessary for the story. Hope you enjoy!

-------------------------------------------

"In the year 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Egypt." Said Ms York, our English teacher as she paced in the front of the class. Ms York was an elegant-looking tall woman. She had brown hair that was neatly tied in a low bun, deep black eyes and also owned that brilliant kind of smile that made you eager to listen to whatever she had to say.

"I thought this was English class." Said a girl who sat behind me in a bored voice.

"Well, Miss Ricci, if you'd bothered opening your book at page four like I had instructed at the beginning of our period, you would have fugured that this topic is our first reading passage." Ms York replied sweetly but absolutely roasting the girl that just spoke. A few kids snickered.

"So," Ms York continued, looking away from the roasted girl, her smile returning back to her young beautiful face.
"Without looking at your books, does anyone have an idea why the french emperor wanted to invade Egypt?" She asked the class.

"But what if we don't even know who-" Started a boy on my right but Ms York cut him.

"Oh you do know who Napoleon is, Mr Lockwood. You learned about him last year in history. If you don't know who he is then that's your problem." Ms York replied smiling. So far, I found myself admiring Ms York and her sass. I like sassy people.

"So, back to our question, who knows the answer to why Napoleon was eager to go to Egypt that much?" Ms York repeated.

"Well that's obvious." Said a boy with bright blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair to my left. "He wanted to take a selfie with the Sphinx for sure."

Now, my luck can get really terrible that I sometimes have to take a step back, look at it and be like: What?

Seriously, it's so bad that it's even funny. The same guy I had um.. well crashed into earlier suddenly shows up in my fifth class. It was alomst like luck was slapping me in the face. Very funny.

There he was, sitting two desks apart from me. A mischievous grin on his face as he'd just thrown a sarcastic comment at his teacher.

Ms York narrowed her eyes at him. "Well, Mr Bailey, that was definitely not the reason...but you want to know an interesting fact concerning both Napoleon and the Sphinx?" Ms York asked excitedly, happy to share knowledge outside of the lesson.

I don't want to keep saying, the boy whom I had crashed into because that's something I don't wanna be remimded of, thank you. So I'm gonna call him The Bailey kid.

"Sure" The Baiely kid said, his grin still not leaving his face.

"Well," Ms York started, "Old sayings state that Napoleon wanted to prove how much power he possessed over Egyptians. So, he took some of his men, readied his cannons and attempted to fire at the famous Pyramids of Egypt and destroy them. However, he found the Sphinx to be a smaller easier target, so he oredered them to aim at it instead. Napoleon fired his cannons at the Sphinx's nose leading to its collapse and falling off. This is why if you look closely at the Sphinx these days, you'll find that it's nose is actually missing." Ms York finished. A satisfied smile on her face. I could tell she'd recently learned that information and was hoping to find a chance to share it.

Surprisingly, The Bailey kid looked so intrigued by the story.

"No way! He destroyed his nose?!" He asked, his eyes wide, eyebrows raised.
