Mr. Heartbreaker

by L.O., 7th grade

Students! Are you curious to the reason WHY the following teachers are gone: Ms. Nenedal, Ms. Sosa, Ms. McMichael, Ms. Seelig, Ms. Ramirez and Ms. Galan?
Well you gotta swear not to tell him! It’s because Mr. Zapata broke their hearts so bad, they couldn’t stand being on the same campus. Maybe that’s why he’s always smiling. My inside source was anonymous. They told me, “Mr. Zapata has always been the insatiable type. If he’s been with someone for over a week, he needs someone new.” (In case you’re wondering, last year Mr. Zapata was in and out of the school for interviews – this is how Ms. Galan, his first victim, developed a crush).
I wanted to hit Mr. Zapata up for a quick interview but I got “no comment.” (Yeah right) I tried to track some of the teachers down to hear their side of the story. I went to each teacher’s home; just at the mention of his name they slammed the door in my face! I later found out that it was Mr. Zapata asking out one teacher to get another teacher jealous! And it just went on and on and on! Is this maybe why Ms. Chai left? Naah! But we just gotta keep an eye on him!
