Connor's Courting Chicks Curse

Guess what's back? Back again. Fahs' blogs. Better than Devlin's. So this year, I'll spend some time blogging with the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Since the sophomores are going to dominate the class games at homecoming this year, I'm going to be blogging with them first and telling you about my favorite rural legend (Urban legends? We ain't from the city round here, like that city-slicker Hudson). Now, onto the Curse of Connor Courting Chicks. It is the saddest rural legend in history. It all started way back when Connor Althaus was in 7th grade. He promised his dear friends Kadin, Carson, Trent, Jacob Kear, and Jackson to be in their group for their field trip to Wildlife Prairie Park with the wicked awesome Mr. Fahs, but at the last second he backed out to join a group of all girls in order to attempt to court (flirt with) them. It seemed like a great idea to Connor at the time, but he unfortunately didn't realize the years of struggles it would create for him in the future. Connor was forever cursed to miss out on all the fun times his friends would have. First of all, on the day of that field trip, Connor missed out on plans for Mr. Fahs taking his friends to lunch after they graduate; Connor will miss out on this adventure which is sure to be a Hoot! Then in 8th grade, the curse caused Connor to complain about DJ Fahs' sick beats at the dance, so DJ Fahs' bouncers removed Connor from the dance and he missed out on the wildest party to ever hit the LWHS cafeteria. Also in 8th grade, Connor missed a sick jam session on the way to the movies with a random stranger singing some Zac Brown Band. But it didn't get really bad until Connor was in high school. He missed Trent's block at Deland-Weldon that literally caused a 4.2 earthquake on the Richter Scale (Connor felt it at home). Connor then missed the time we all went to see Jackson play football and literally puke in the middle of the game on the field. He missed the open gym when Carson invented the play 25 BOL, caught a lob from Whitey, and dunked on 5 people at the same time. He even missed Whitey's first kiss, with Carson, Trent, and Jacob in the background cheering him on! It is scary to think that the Curse of Connor Courting Chicks could be passed on, but I've been able to be like T-Swift and shake it off since I'm usually a part of the fun times Connor misses. Hopefully Connor is able to shake off this terrible curse and pass it on to someone from Midland or Roanoke.
