Rami should be arriving from his class in about ten minutes. I have the rope ready and shoved under my bed, ready for what will be the real first day of my life.

Yes, I created a fake website and posted a fake monologue on it. I took a hammer to Rami's laptop. I shredded his monologue.

And I feel great about it!

So, here's the plan for the evening: I have a huge coffee mug full of camel meal tea (Rami's favorite beverage) sitting on his bedside table. I crushed up 17 melatonin and put them in a food processor, and then mixed them with the tea. Rami comes in distraught, I offer him a nice cup of tea, he's out like a light and I tie him up.

Rami enters through the door. Right on cue!

He throws his book bag down on the floor. I try to act shocked.

"Hey, Rami," I say, grabbing the huge mug of tea. "Why so gloom?"

"My monologue failed completely," he moans. "Now I won't get the credits I need to graduate this school."

"That's awful," I try not to obviously lie. "Well, I was about to drink this piping hot glass of camel meal tea, but it looks like you could use it more."

I extend my hand with the cup in it. "Take it," I say.

"Thank you so much," he says, fighting back a tear. He slowly lifts the glass up to his mouth, and the tea runs past his lips and down his throat.

"Woah, that is very ho-" he falls asleep mid-sentence and drops the mug on the ground. It shatters. I decide I'll take care of that later.

I grab the rope from under my boat with a rhythmic swipe. It takes me nearly ten minutes, but I manage to get Rami completely tied up (arms and legs) and laid on his bed.

This is going quite more smooth than I thought.
