The artilce mentioned how Issac was supposely Reporter and had been turned after aruging with Mara. Mara had been a 'viticm' of Issac abusing his position of editor to write aritcles slander aritcles about his classmates. It than went on to list some of these 'articles' that had been published on the back of the artilce for students to read./p

The artilce mentioned how Issac was supposely Reporter and had been turned after aruging with Mara. Mara had been a 'viticm' of Issac abusing his position of editor to write aritcles slander aritcles about his classmates. It than went on to list some of these 'articles' that had been published on the back of the artilce for students to read./p

Her tables were near our seats, as she walked by several times. She didn't appear happy taking orders and running around. I sat Calex peek out from the kitchen more than once, snickering. I wonder if he's going to use dining room duty to coax Mara into spilling the beans. When it's busy like this, the best place to be is the kitchen or sitting people. Down side is in the kitchen, Sayri has more oppurties to use us as geniue pigs./p
