TW: SLIGHT MENTION OF SUICIDAL THOUGHTS || SELF HARM || ABUSE
ੈ✩‧₊˚
I'm sitting in my desk as Minkus is dressed as king George and Cory is dressed as George Washington.
"Taxation Without representation." Mr. Feeny says, who's in the middle of the two.
"King George." Feeny turns to Minkus, holding up his fist as a microphone. "We provide the colonists with all their finished manufactured goods. We deserve remuneration." Minkus states his opinion.
"General Washington." Feeny turns to Cory, holding up his fist as a microphone.
"Fine. Keep your goods. Like we need your stinking British goods." Cory says to Feeny and Minkus carelessly.
Cory turns to the class.
"We're American. We're independent. We'll get our goods from Japan." Cory says, causing the whole class, besides Feeny and Minkus, laugh.
"General, I'm dying for you to elaborate." Mr. Feeny says.
"What's the point, Mr. Feeny? We all know we kicked British butt." Cory says.
"Winners and losers aside, General. If we do not understand history, we are doomed to repeat its mistakes."
"Oh, who cares about George Washington? Who cares about King George? Was every boring guy in history named George?" Cory says, not realizing his mistake.
I mean, he's not wrong...
Feeny looks at him, and Cory slowly looks at him, with a sheepish smile.
"I meant, every dead boring guy." Cory corrects himself.
"Apparently, the past holds no fascination for you." Feeny says, ignoring what just happened.
"No, it's happened. It's done." Cory says.
"It's history." Feeny says.
"I'm saying!" Cory says.
"Perhaps we should study your history, Mr. Matthews."
"I have no history, Mr. Feeny. I'm eleven. I'm more interested in my future." Cory says.
"Oh, well, then it might be more interesting for us to look into our futures, to see if we can avoid our mistakes before they happen." Feeny says to the class."
I roll my eyes. Assignment time.
"I smell an assignment." Shawn says.
"Nice going Cor." I say while resting my head on my palm.
"I swear, I didn't see it coming." Cory says.
"You never do." I say sighing, being used to Cory "accidentally" starting new assignments with his big mouth.
