It's literature class

The work has to be done

"An adjective for friend"

Isn't this easy?

I scribbled down a word on my blank paper.

The work has to be discussed

People talk

And start to say stuff

Caring

Helpful

Likable 

The work has to be shared

People look

And start to read stuff

A he got my paper

And he squinted in confusion

He passed it down

A she got my paper

She shook her head in disappointment

She passed it down

A group of buddies got my paper

They looked shocked and sighed in astonishment

They passed it down

A group of other kids got my paper

They looked repulsive and stared in boredom 

They passed it down

Finally, a teacher got the paper

Teacher didn't react

The only thing I could see is the agreement on his face

Written there

On the blank paper

And on every other's face

T-o-x-i-c

Five characters
