"You don't know what it's like,

. . . Yeah you don't know what it's like~"

   "... So, the history of these companies had the greatest impact on man-kind back in the 20th century. Without them, we would have never had this," she motioned her hand around, "at all. Now, in the... "

Ugh, this is why I hate history.

I stared at the clock - 45 minutes left. It was a Friday, 2.45 pm. And I was mentally dying. Soar was seated right next to me, on my left. The exact same positioning as English. And while he was paying attention, surprisingly, I did not. I honestly couldn't care.

History doesn't play a huge role in my life. In fact, It plays the worst role in my life. And I don't mean by brains and grades. But rath-

   "Ms Dash!" A pair of arms slammed roughly on my desk. I looked up to met with an irritated look on Ms Mitilda's face.

Yikes

   "Uh... Hey?" I squeaked out, trying not to laugh at her red face.

But since she's "the nicest teacher out of all of them," she just rolled her eyes and walked back.

She cleared her throat, giving me a tiny frown and spoke: "Care to elaborate on what I just said?"

   "Uh," I shrugged, "What makes you think I know, hmmm?"

If this was Miss Cheerilee you would have had a death wish.

She just narrowed her eyes.

   "Well, as I was saying," She scowled at me. Yeesh, what got her panties in a twist?

   "This term, you will be assigned to conduct a presentation and a full document of one of these companies and why they rivalled each other. There is no right or wrong answer for this as no one knows why, but your answer must be valid and creative but factual. You must have your draft and final draft to show evidence on your research and your document on the day of submission. You must include why your chosen company is better in economic terms, luxury, standard, it's history and etc. This is a partner project-" everyone groaned, "-so I expect full participation in both sides. This hand-out I'm giving out is your task-sheet with more information about it. Don't lose it. Or you'll lose 5 marks. Understood?"

No.

Everyone else just grunted in response.

Dammit, why???

It's only a Friday.

It's only the first week.

Fuck History.

And wait, why the hell does this have anything to do with history?

Bloody hell.

Some girl at the front shot her hand up.

   "Yes?"

   "Um," She looked at the teacher, "can we pick our partners?"

She smiled, "Of course!"

Man, sometimes I'm so grateful that she isn't Cheerilee.

Pfft, that's a first

Huh?

You're grateful for something

Uhhh

Although, you could be just saying it but not meaning it.

'Cause really, when we're you ever grateful for anything?

Excuse me-

Oh, shut up, fakester! Why can't you be real for once? Why you gotta brag about your life when it's living hell? You deserve it anyway. Why you gotta put on a fake smile when you could be showing everyone your scares? To show how weak you are. To show how bloody pathetic you are
