- I like your essay, Today, but there's just one problem.
- The spelling?
- Well, and those yea—there's a lot of those.
- Yea, but I wrote it in cursive so the teacher can't tell.
- You know that you misspelled the word but you wrote it in cursive so that you can misspell it instead of looking up your errors? That means you know already that you're misspelling your words and not looking them up.
- So what, playa? It's English, the teacher will correct me.
- Don't you want to get a good grade?
- How am I going to learn if teacher doesn't correct me?
- But you already know you're spelling it wrong.
- Sometimes...that's why I write in cursive—
- Shut up! I'm so worn out. Okay, you read all your errors when you get your paper back, at least?
- You mean read them?
- Yes.
- Usually there's no marks cause the teacher can't read my handwriting.
- So how does he know you're not just drunk and ranting about your neighbor getting a new car?
- We can usually pick our own topics. Sometimes ranting makes you write better... He's usually drunk.
- Whatever. You pick this topic?
- Yea.
- It's a good one.
- I'm a good one.
- Okay, so you write it's important to act based on goodness.
- Oh, no one's going to argue with that. There's a solid A coming my way.
- Okay, but at the same time I see you make fun of three different people in here. These your classmates?
- Just the ones I don't like. So? Teachers's not going to tell them.
- It just sounds hypocritical to me. And what's this? "Hamlet Sucks." Why is this in the middle of your essay? You trying to be experimental?
- It's a clause.
- What's a clause? Like Santa Claus? Or the clause on Messi's contract?
- I don't know, I just wrote it because I found out why Lala's not been coming to class.
- Why?
- Hamlet got arrested for beating her.
- That bitch.
- I hope it wasn't because of me.
- I hope she got some shots in. How do you know?
- My friend told me. He knows people.
- People?
- From their apartment.
- You really like to hype your friend up.
