"-the Box Ghost! Beware!"
I groaned. "Seriously? You again?" Rubbing the bridge of my nose, I narrow my eyes at the specter before me. "Why don't you just get into the stinking thermos so I can get back to studying for my finals?"
"You underestimate me, ghost child! I will have my corrugated cardboard vengeance!" A blue beam from the thermos enveloped the ghost. "Beware!"
Sinking to the ground, I cap the thermos. Sam's voice rings out from the buds in my ear. "Got him?"
"Yeah. That's what, the fourth time tonight?"
"Third," Tucker's voice rang in head. "Think we're done tonight?"
"I hope so. I've got a math final tomorrow and these ghosts keep interrupting my study time."
"Maybe you should just go to bed. I mean, it's not gonna help you at all if you cram for it. All the information will just go out the other ear," Sam said.
"Hey! And, maybe if you're lucky there won't be any ghosts during the exam!"
"And you jinxed it, Tuck."
"Hey!"
I sigh. "Okay, whatever, I'm just gonna go to bed."
"Night, man."
"-for I am the Box Ghost-"
I moan into my pillow. "Please just let me sleep."
"-cardboard boxes-"
"I have an exam in two hours just go away..."
"-of DOOM!"
I moan again, dragging myself out of bed, and grabbing the thermos.
"Your cylindrical container-" A blue beam. "-cannot contain the Box Ghost!"
"It's really tempting to just bury you."
If you take the time to look closely, you will see me silently swearing at the paper in front of me. I'm pretty sure we never covered this in class. Or maybe I just missed the lessons because of the Box Ghost. 'If a=5, and b=2, then according to Pythagorean Theorem, what is c?' When did we learn this? Skip this question, I guess. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Hey! Area of a circle! I know this! A=πd, right? Right?
Oh who am I kidding, I'm going to fail this class.
"Beware! For I am-" Oh I have never been more happy to see your fat blue butt.
Somewhere in between the student's fleeing the room and waiting outside for the attack to end, I manage to slip into a closet and go ghost.
"Get in the thermos."
"I am the Box Ghost! Your cylindrical container cannot contain me! Beware!"
Maybe if I'm lucky this exam will be postponed.
