It's time for a new school week!
What?! Henri is absent again this afternoon?
The teacher calls roll, but when she gets to his name she doesn't say it.
She must have known he wasn't going to be here... Like last time.
Mrs. Casanolia: "Ok! I'm going to pick up your homework. I hope that you have all applied yourselves. I need not remind you how important this grade is for your final average! You haven't forgotten l hope?"
The teacher walks around the classroom, picking up our homework while she continues her speech.
When she gets to Enzo's desk, she stops.
Mrs. Casanolia: "Enzo? You can't be serious... I don't want your excuses this time!"
Enzo: "But Ma'am! I'm telling you, I did the homework! It's just that my dog ate it this morning and I couldn't salvage any of it! I swear!"
Mrs. Casanolia: "I said I don't want to hear your excuses! This one in particular seems to be a huge lie! I am giving you two hours of detention to finish this homework... You'll be sorry you ever mentioned your dog!"
Enzo: "Oh no, Ma'am! Come on please!"
Mrs. Casanolia: "That's final! I'm giving you until first thing tomorrow to bring it to me! If not, that'll be a F plus your two hours of detention."
Enzo: "But I have a game tonight! I can't!"
Mrs. Casanolia: "That's not my problem!"
The teacher goes back to her desk and writes up a two hour dentention slip for Enzo.
But while she has her back turned, he very arrogantly rips the paper and swears under his breath.
Once class is over, the teacher calls Enzo up so she can lecture him again.
Jasmine: "You coming Lyla?"
Lyla: "Yeah... Go ahead, I'll catch up!"
Clement: "Ok... Whatever you want..."
My friends leave just in time. Mrs. Casanolia lets Enzo go. He quickly gets out of there.
Enzo really has a lot of nerve to rip up his detention slip like that!
Two hours of detention... He deserves it!
But... After all, I could use this to my advantage...
Lyla: "Enzo?!"
Surprised, Enzo turns around.
Enzo: "Hey baby! What's up with you?!"
I try my best to ignore the "baby" part.
Lyla: "Well... I just wanted to know... everything you know about Henri repeating a grade."
