CHAPTER 9: The Photocopied Notes
~ FAST FORWARD: During Chemistry class… ~
AYAMI
It's already our last subject before break and Bakemono's still not here.
Don't think anything sappy here ok? HAH! As if I care where he is.
It's just that, it had been FOUR straight days since Bakemono decided not to grace us with his presence in this class and during those days, sensei was always bugging me if I know where he is since I'm the assistant manager of the basketball team.
Also, I still can't concentrate on our lessons because girls had been passing…no! What I actually meant was THROWING notes at me, asking what I've done to THEIR 'Rukawa-kun'.
What a bunch of retards!
I actually thought I could focus more on the lessons, now that the Bakemono's not here.
Ugh! What's really annoying is that he still manages to trouble and piss me off even if he's not around!
He's really a bakemono.
HOHUMMMM... (checks her watch) Twenty minutes more before our break. I can't wait to eat bento with Sakuragi-kun (blushes) and everybody else.
Suddenly, the girl next to me squealed like a hungry pig then every other girl in our class followed.
" RUKAWA-KUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!! DAIJOBOUUUUU?!?!?!?!?!"
Then, there was chaos everywhere. School things were thrown and tables were overturned. Each girl in our class was making sure that they were the first one to reach THEIR Rukawa-kun. Now THESE are the people Bakemono should call do'ahou.
What really surprised me was when I saw Rikano-sensei join the flock of girls who were rushing to the aid of The Bakemono.
Sheesh! What a totally pathetic sight. I can't believe I belong here.
Our class actually sounded and looked like a barn. You know…pigs squealing, demented chickens twittering, horses making funny sounds, dogs howling, cats making love…
MAJOR MIGRAINE ALERT!
RUKAWA
It was getting hot upstairs so I decided to come down and continue sleeping in the classroom. Upon reaching the door, girls started screaming out my name and started rushing to my side while clinging everywhere.
Do'ahous…
" Rukawa-dono! What made you decide to show yourself eh? You're quite early…for tomorrow's class, that is! But I'll forgive you if you come here and let ME take care of you!"
The guys and do'ahou ononoko suppressed their laughter while the girls glared at sensei. I just grunted and sat on my seat. Veins started popping on sensei's forehead and neck.
Do'ahou hentai sensei…
Then, she asked the girls to return to their seats or else she'll fail all of them. They grudgingly followed while cursing sensei under their breath.
Do'ahous……
When I was about to sleep, do'ahou ononoko turned around and started making fun of me.
AYAMI
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!"
I can't stop laughing! Imagine someone who's old enough to be my grandmother flirting with a bakemono…
" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"
This is too just too much…
" SAKIMOTO! KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN!"
I saw sensei fuming with anger and blushing too much, as if her face's gonna explode any moment now.
Fine! Fine! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
She's just mad because Bakemono humiliated her in front of the class by refusing her advantages. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH -- Are? He's going to sleep again. Maybe I should annoy him first?
Hmmm…that would really make my day.
I happily cleared my throat, turned around to face him and mischievously acted like an overly cheerful TV reporter. I held an imaginary microphone in front of me and whispered this on his ear.
" And here it is folks, for the nine-hundred and ninety-ninth time this hour, the number one single on our Awesome Monster countdown 'Snore And Drool All Day Long' by the very lively Rukawa Kaede a.k.a The Monstrous Bakemono! Do you think this crazy kid will ever get tired of this song? We'll never know but I sure hope so!"
" Do'ahou ononoko…mind your own business."
" Of course, your majesty. How dare an ordinary mortal like myself tread upon the sacredness of The Bakemono's bubbly and vibrant life. It's just so compelling to watch how you live your life. It's always full of exciting and unpredictable things. I REALLY envy you. You know, I suggest you run for valedictorian. I know the school officials wouldn't think twice on accepting your application because you are a very diligent student. Plus, as an added bonus, all the students here LOVE you, even our teachers! Or, you could work for Mr. Webster, seeing that you have a very profound knowledge on vocabulary. Or you can also be a public relations worker because you are the most sociable person I have ever seen in my whole stay here at Shohoku."
" Do'ahou……"
He began gritting his teeth and clenching his fist.
What a lovely sight!
" SAKIMOTO! Will you stop talking and concentrate on our lesson?! Or do you want to go to the principal's office?!"
That made me shut up. I don't want to endure another boring lecture with the principal, thank you very much. But, I couldn't help smiling. It sure feels good to annoy him. I'm forever thankful to Kami-sama for letting Bakemono attend this class. It really energized me.
Now I can fully concentrate on our lessons!
RUKAWA
How I love to remove that smirk on her face! Do'ahou……
" ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!" (drool galore)
~~~ RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ~~~
ALL STUDENTS
" YEY! BREAK TIME!!!!!"
RUKAWA
Finally…HUH?!
What's that do'ahou and his cronies doing over here? (proceeds to look at Ayami with his eyes partly closed).
AYAMI
Sakuragi-kun actually came over to fetch me!!! (blushes)
" Oi Ayami-chan! Faster! We're still going over to Haruko-san's room!"
My face fell. So much for hoping…
" HA...hai! I'll just follow you!"
I saw Sakuragi-kun glare at Bakemono. Then he asked Mito-kun if he could look out for me, just in case 'baka kitsune' does something bad to me. With that, they left.
" Want me to help you?" It was Mito-kun. He is really nice.
" Iie...I can do this on my own. Thanks anyway."
So he just sat there and waited for me to finish. While I was fixing my things, I noticed Bakemono's looking at me. " Don't you ever get tired of doing that?!"
He raised his eyebrows then grumbled something inaudible.
Why can't he just speak in the normal way? Maybe he's really a creature from outer space and grunts were his form of communicating with human beings……
He was about to sleep again when I suddenly blurted out, "Oi! Are you not having your bento?"
He looked surprised for a moment, probably because he didn't expect I'd ask him that question. Then, as a response to my question, he shrugged, grunted and positioned himself to sleep.
" Well, you can join us if you want to?"
THAT got his, and everyone else's, attention. Bakemono just stared.
Mito-kun butted in, " Anou…Ayami-chan, I don't think that's a good idea. Remember, we have Hanamichi. He's Rukawa. Get the connection?"
I can see that he was trying so hard not to laugh.
Oh...stupid Ayami!
" Ah…HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!"
DAMN! How could I be so stupid?! C'mon…think of a good excuse!
" HA!HA!HA!HA! Anou…I can't believe you fell for that Mito-kun! Umm…I was just joking you know? Did you really believed I'd invite a bakemono to join us?! That will just ruin our appetite, ne? And he'll just drool on our food and that would be too disgusting. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
I saw Bakemono glare at me. I looked the other way. Mito-kun stared at me while suppressing his laughter for my outrageous reason.
I can't take this anymore!
With that, I bid farewell to Bakemono and dragged Mito-kun outside.
RUKAWA
Do'ahou ononoko...if she doesn't want to lose her appetite, she shouldn't eat with that do'ahou!
Che! What did I do to her that made her angry at me so much?
Ugh! No use thinking about it. I'll just continue sleeping and hope to forget everything when I wake up….
~ While eating their bento ~
AYAMI
I couldn't eat very well. I was feeling guilty because of what I've said earlier. I was actually sincere when I asked him if he'd like to eat with us. I didn't mean to say those things. I was just trying to think of anything to say to save face and that reason just popped in my head.
Ugh! Why am I feeling this way?!?!?!
" Ayami-chan, daijobou?" It was Sakuragi-kun.
" I'm fine! Everything's fine! My life's great! Eat! Eat! HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HAHAHAHAHA!"
Then I started eating like there's no tomorrow. I can't let them worry about me, especially Sakuragi-kun.
Gotta stop thinking about that bakemono.
ALL
"…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………"
MITO
She must be thinking about the earlier incident. That was really funny. But, she sounded sincere when she asked Rukawa if he likes to join us.
I wonder if...nah! They hate each other's guts. I'm just making something out of nothing...but, what if?
Iie…It's better if I just eat...
HARUKO
I wonder what's bothering Ayami-chan…? She's not normally this quiet.
Hmm…I wonder what Rukawa-kun's doing right now? He might be sleeping... (blushes)
SAKURAGI
I wonder what's wrong with Ayami-chan…? Maybe baka kitsune did something to her…HUH?!
Haruko-san's blushing! (looks to see if Rukawa's around) HE'S NOT HERE! THAT MEANS…Haruko-san!!! (begins blushing)
Inviting her to eat bento with us was such a brilliant idea. I am such a tensai!!!
" NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
ALL
"…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'……………"
AYAMI
(whispering to Takamiya) " Anou……is he always like that? Laughing for no reason?
TAKAMIYA
" I'm afraid…yes. He's really crazy you know!"
SAKURAGI
" NANI?! Who's crazy?!"
SAKURAGI GUNDAN
" YOU!!!!!!" (starts howling with laughter) BOG! BOG! BOG! BOG! (fresh, smoking bumps on each head)
AYAMI & HARUKO
"…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'…………"
(after an hour) ~~~ RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~~
~ FAST FORWARD: During Biology Class ~
AYAMI
He didn't show up again for this class. I thought I would apologize to him after our break but, he decided to cut classes again.
HAY! I should just think of other ways to make up for what I've done. And why is that?
Because, I made fun of him that's why! But you we're always making fun of him…what's the difference?
HUH?! When did my conscience suddenly had a part in here?! I always had a part in here, baka……
Shut up! You're getting worse. I really should get rid of you! Whatever you say……
I said shut up! Hey! Somebody's looking for you!
HUH?!
" --SAKIMOTO! SAKIMOTO! EARTH TO SAKIMOTO!!!!!"
" HaI! Gomen! "
The whole class erupted into fits of laughter. GO TO HELL, BAKAS!!!!!!!
Sensei sighed. " It seems like you already know our lesson very well. Because of that, ALL of you will have a 50-item exam tomorrow. Plus, to make it more exciting, it'd be a right minus wrong type. And it's all about AMOEBAS!" What the –
One of my classmates complained, " Demo, Azuma-sensei, we haven't even started with that yet! And 50 items?! Amoebas?! "
Azuma-sensei just smiled. "That's my point! We don't have to discuss it because you already know a lot. Right Sakimoto-san?"
He winked at me. Ugh! Gross!
DAMN YOU BAKEMONO! It's your fault, not his…
Go to hell you stupid conscience! But you know I'm right, ne?
Just leave me alone…
" And DON'T inform those who are not present today. It'll be a nice surprise test for them, ne? And they have nobody but Sakimoto-san to thank for. MY! MY! Tomorrow will be such an exciting day. I can't wait to see what scores you'll get! "
And with that, sensei left laughing while my classmates were fuming with anger.
Ayami done good! NOW, Rukawa and your classmates will NEVER forgive you.
HAH! I don't care if they never forgive me. But a while ago, you were thinking of ways on how you'll apologize to him.
Go to hell, you damn conscience! You're such a weird girl…
~ During basketball practice ~
AYAKO
I wonder where Ayami-chan is? She should be here an hour ago.
" Rukawa! Could you come here for a sec?"
Rukawa reluctantly stopped playing. Then, Sakuragi opened his large mouth, " NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ayako-san finally realized I'm better than that baka kitsune! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oi Ryochin! Better watch out or kitsune will get your girl! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The rest was history. I heard Rukawa mutter his one-liner that made Sakuragi angry as always but it seems he can't get out from the wrath of Akagi-sempai and Ryota.
RUKAWA
I wonder why Ayako suddenly wanted to talk to me…
" Rukawa, you're classmates with Ayami-chan right?"
What does that girl got to do with this talk? Maybe she had convinced Ayako to go against me.
Do'ahou ononoko……
" Rukawa, HELLOOO?!" I blinked.
" SO, Ayami-chan's your classmatate?" I nodded.
" Do you know where she is? She promised me yesterday that she'll help me arrange the records today."
" Iie…"
Am I her keeper? I don't even give a damn where she is. I'm actually enjoying every moment not hearing her irritating voice!
" I wonder where she is? (sigh)……Well, that's it. I just thought you might have any idea where she went. I can't believe she actually skipped today's practice. Good thing Akagi-sempai's not in a very bad mood today. DAMN THOSE CHEERERS! I'm not mad at you or anything but…SHEESH! Taking advantage just because Ayami-chan's not around. (sigh). You can go now and practice again. And stay away from Sakuragi, ne?"
I nodded and resumed practicing.
That do'ahou ononoko! Who does she think she is?
Maybe she's busy picking fights with other students that's why she's not here.
Che! I'm relieved that that do'ahou finally decided to shut his excessively large mouth, thanks to Go -- Akagi-sempai's and Ryoch -- Miyagi's beating.
Hmmm……I should stop listening to that do'ahou.
I continued practicing with the others. But, because he's a do'ahou, Sakuragi still managed to find some time to fight with me. Of course, I never run away from fights.
ALL
"…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'…………¬.¬'……………¬.¬'………………"
AKAGI
" URUSAIIIIIII!!!" (punching the two on the head)
SAKURAGI
" Itee Gori….it's that kitsune's fault. He won't give up showing off. Those punches I gave were also for bringing those noisy girls over here. It really irritates me that's why I can't show all of you my tensai skills!"
Gori looked like he was deciding whether to punch me again or forgive me.
If only Ayami-chan was here….ARE? Where is she anyway?
MITSUI
" Yare, yare….just forgive that bakayaro, Akagi. Besides, he does have a point. Let's just continue practicing, ne? And Rukawa, will you tell those girls to shut up? They're your fans anyway."
I saw Rukawa glare at me. I smirked at him.
ALL
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH…..IS THIS ANOTHER FIGHT?
RUKAWA
KUSO….do'ahou Mitsui!
Good thing I'm already tired for another fight or I could have punched him in the face…..
I will make sure that he loses all of his remaining teeth. HAH! [bad Rukawa…~_^]
After an hour or two, Akagi-sempai asked us to gather. This means that practice's over. This also means that all of them will finally go back to their 'home sweet home'. This means that finally, I can practice by myself.
Life sure is good!
~ Meanwhile, outside the court ~
AYAMI
" KAH! KAH! (gulp!) KAH! KAH! (gulp!) KAH! KAH! (gulp!) KAH! KA --"
AH! I know that voice. That's Sakuragi-kun's! That means practice's over.
Uh-oh! They're coming out….QUICK! HIDE!
Thank God for bushes! I can't let them see me…especially Ayako-san and Akagi-sempai. THEY'LL KILL ME for not attending today's practice.
Now, let's just wait for the Bakemono to come out…
RUKAWA
YOSH! Time for my special training… (starts playing by himself).
~ After 1 hour ~
AYAMI
I assumed that The Bakemono takes a lot of time to freshen himself up because…he's a bakemono. It's a natural thing. BUT, I didn't expect him to take THIS long!
Maybe he already left…….not possible. I should have seen him. OW! Surely, the mosquitoes here are having a feast.
" OW! OW! OW!"
That's it! I'm going to look inside the court.
" LEAVE ME ALONE YOU PESTS!" (running with all her might).
ARE? Someone's still practicing. I wonder who -- SUGOI!
How did he do that?! I didn't know Bakemono's THIS good. I have already spent some time with the whole team during practices but, I haven't really paid much attention to him.
SUGOI! He did another trick with the ball, prepares to shoots, then – SUGOI!! (A thought suddenly popped in) Oh. My. God. I'm starting to sound like one of his fans. Not a good sign.
OW! DAMN MOSQUITOES!
" WILL YOU ALL STOP PESTERING ME?! GO AWAY YOU LITTLE BLOOD SUCKERS! SHOO! SHOO! SH--"
The sound of a ball being dribbled suddenly stopped.
Uh-oh. I can't believe I said those aloud. Now he'll know I'm here… SHIT!
RUKAWA
I have been practicing for an hour. I still have to practice more.
ARE? Why is that do'ahou ononoko running around like a maniac? She must be looking for the do'ahou or Ayako or Akagi-sempai. Che! Who does she think she is? She has no right to disturb my practice.
ARE? So she's here to watch me…
Che! Secretly watching my special training. Sakuragi might have asked her to spy on me.
Do'ahou……
HUH?! She's surrounded by mosquitoes. They must be paying homage to their 'QUEEN'. After all, she is the worst of all pests.
ARE? What's that she's carrying? THOSE are a lot of papers.
She must be planning to run for the prestigious title of 'MOST ANNOYING GIRL IN SHOHOKU HIGH'. I know she'd win by a landslide. Then, she started coming towards me.
DANGER ALERT!
AYAMI
He had been staring at the stack of papers on my hands for the past minute.
AH! Souka……these are for him. How should I give these to him? Can I just toss it and let him pick them all up afterwards? How about I make paper airplanes out of these then throw it at his direction? How about paper boats? Now, all I need are buckets full of water. Or an inflatable pool. Or…… ARGH! I didn't know it'd be this hard. Demo……I have to hurry. Ojii-san might be worried by now. And I still have to study for our exams tomorrow….
With those thoughts, I gathered up all my courage and started walking towards him. The Bakemono, on the other hand, was backing away.
BAKA…..(rolls her eyes and shakes her head)
" Anou……was Ayako-san or Akagi-sempai mad at me for not attending today's practice?"
" Hn…"
" Anou…what do you mean by 'HN'? Is it a yes or a no?"
His reply was another grunt.
OK…I guess I'll just find out tomorrow by myself then. Next question please……
" Anou…bakemono. Can I talk to you for a minute?"
" ……………………….."
" Fine. I'll just do the talking then! But listen 'cause I'll only say this once, ok?"
He stared longingly at the ball. I had this feeling that he secretly wishes the ground to just open up and get him. BAKA Bakemono…..
" First, take this."
I handed him the stack of papers. He stared at it.
" Go on. It's SAFE ok? I didn't put anything in them."
" ………………………………"
" WILL YOU JUST TAKE IT?!"
He looked at me then took the papers.
FINALLY! Do I always have to shout just so he'll give me some of his attention?
He looked at the stack of papers and started scanning them. Then he stared at me with questioning eyes.
" THOSE are photocopies of my notes and some books which are relevant to the lessons we had for the past few days on all of our subjects. I just thought you'd like to use them. I know all of you had been busy and will be more busy this week because your match against Kainan is just around the corner. But, you can't set aside your studies right? If I'm not mistaken, you got to have at least a passing grade in order to stay in the basketball team. So, because we're classmates and I'm the assistant manager of this team, I thought I'd give you photocopies of our lessons. So…there! Hope you'll use them."
Then I smiled to add more effect on what I've just said but he just stared at me like I've done and said the stupidest thing he had ever seen and heard in his whole damn boring life.
RUKAWA
This is not do'ahou ononoko. This is her twin sister from hell…or just a mirage because I'm tired.
She smiled. SHE SMILED.
This is definitely an alien or a Martian or any creature that does not belong in the human world that made a mistake on taking the shape of that do'ahou ononoko.
I don't know what to say or how to react.
Ugh! I forgot. I don't talk and I don't react. DAMN!
" Why?"
She rolled her eyes then sighed. " I TOLD you to listen. Didn't you hear anything I've said?! I just finished explaining my reasons and I said no repetition. You should have followed my orders."
Liar.
I just stared at her. She stared back. We had a staring contest.
Do'ahou…why don't she just tell me her REAL reason. I'm not stupid like her to believe that story.
Then, she let out an exasperated sigh. I won.
" OK! OK! Fine! I'll tell you why. ARGH! This is so hard…"
I love to see her suffering like this.
" My real reason is…is…do you really have to know?! Ugh! My real reason is…uhrm……my reason is…you see……IWANTOSAYSORRYFORWHATI'VESAIDEARLIER!!!"
After that, she covered her face and turned around while cursing herself in different languages.
There. She finally said it. Then, I just stared. I did not understand anything she had said.
AYAMI
This is embarrassing! I'm actually saying sorry AGAIN to The Bakemono.
But, I felt the need to explain more. So I faced him again. I saw that he has this confused expression on his face.
" Anou……I didn't mean to make fun of you AGAIN this afternoon. The one I said to Mito-kun…it just popped in my head. I can't think of any other way to apologize so, I just thought I'd give you those photocopies. I was really sincere when I asked you to join us. Gomen ne?"
I
was waiting for his reply, but he just stood there and was staring at me like an idiot
" Oi! Am I….Am I forgiven?" He shrugged.
" What's that suppose to mean?"
RUKAWA
"Ok…"
" Arigatou!"
She smiled. Weird. Cute……but weird. I can't believe I actually used the word 'cute' to describe her.
Frankly, I don't understand why she needs to apologize to me. She's always making fun of me so what's the difference? But, what I really don't understand is this feeling. I suddenly felt…relieved…and confused at the same time for unknown reasons. (Awkward silence)
This is really getting unusual. Maybe I should just go now….
" Oi bakemono! Who told you to go? I'm not finished yet you know."
She's back to her old self again. She can be a good actress in the future…
" I shouldn't tell you this but I think you should know because it's for your own good. Bakemono, seeing how very enthusiastic you were in attending our classes these past few days, I would like to ask if you could grace us with your presence tomorrow."
" Nande?"
" You see, tomorrow, we'll have an exam on Math about graphing. On History, we're going to have a film showing then afterwards, we'll write a paper about it. Then, we'll have an oral exam on Comm I. And finally on Biology, we'll have a 50-items, right minus wrong type of test, about the most exciting creatures which has a very high similarity to the size of your brain…AMOEBAS! And you have no one to thank for but -- me."
I stared at her.
" I'm not kidding so if I were you, I'll attend my classes tomorrow if I still want to stay on the basketball team. And about our exam on amoebas, it was my fault because…never mind! You'll find out tomorrow anyway from your wretched fans! And don't worry. I also photocopied some books that gave some useful information about those damn single-celled organisms. Make sure you read the materials, ok?"
She's really strange…but not in a bad way.
AYAMI
" Well, I'm going home now. Don't even dare going to sleep without reading those papers I gave you, ok? Remember, I skipped practice just for that so you owe me big time. JA!"
With that, I hurriedly went home. I actually felt good after doing a 'monologue' with that bakemono.
Hope he listened to everything I said.
I guess I'll just find out tomorrow……
RUKAWA
I saw her practically skipping while on her way out of the gym.
Do'ahou……
I took another look at the bunch of papers on my hand. I'll just drool on these for sure. Anyway, I scanned again through the pages. Her hand-writing's really…legible. And nice. And clear. And -- STOP! Too much adjectives already.
As I continued scanning, I found at the end a piece of paper, which contains a drawing of a VERY ugly guy being clobbered by another guy with a smiling girl beside him. Below each drawing, she wrote their names. For the VERY ugly guy, she wrote 'Bakemono' which means, I'm that guy. Under the guy who was clobbering me, she wrote 'The Tensai' which means, it's the do'ahou. And, under the smiling girl, she wrote her name.
She's really a do'ahou ononoko….
Without noticing what I was doing, I started tearing up the part of the drawing where that do'ahou and I was placed. Then, I kept the other one. My reason? I just found it very…entertaining. That's my reason. No special meaning whatsoever.
Who are you kidding? You're keeping that particular drawing because you're starting to like her. HUH?!
Only a fool wouldn't fall for her. Doing nice things like lending you her pillow and photocopying her notes & some books while risking getting yelled at by your captain and manager? Who are you?!
I'm your alter ego. I don't need you!
Of course you do. I'm here to guide you on the right track. Just shut up! I think I'm going crazy. I'll just practice some more…and maybe review a little later.
SEE?! I told you. You've fallen for her. Do'ahou…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~_^ MY! MY!
SO, what do you think?! There's less violence here than the previous chapters right? ^_^ I chose this topic because during my high school days and up to know, photocopying a.k.a getting Xerox copies of other people's notes is VERY popular especially for students like me who are either (a) too lazy to jot down their own notes, (b) too bored and sleepy to even listen to their teacher which results to choice a or (c) advocate fans of MR. CRAMMING. [I choose (d) all of the above…… LOL!] And, about dogs and cats in the barn……I just added them up to prove my point that the room REALLY looks like a mess. I don't really know if they belong in a barn (hehehehe ^_^;) Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. So…….
Love it? Hate it? Let me know?
Pls. Review! JA! ^_^
