Thursday
9:36 am
$20 says I can convince ms toussant my first language is portuguese
9:37 am
Considering that she can hardly speak the language she is licensed to teach, I would not take that wager.
9:37 am
Also, who is this?
9:38 am
very funny ponine
9:38 am
you know i had to use my backup phone after javert confiscated mine
9:39 am
What kind of person keeps a backup phone?
9:40 am
ah shit wrong number srry
9:41 am
I figured. You didn’t answer my question.
9:42 am
what
9:42 am
What kind of person keeps a backup phone?
9:43 am
clearly, someone who needs to stay in the line of communication
9:43 am
I can’t do that if javert confiscates it every day
9:44 am
I agree that Javert is the worst but- EVERY day??
9:45 am
I will admit that I do antagonize him a bit
9:45 am
poor guy. wakes up every day to come in and teach a bunch of hormonal teenagers and then he’s stuck with me
9:46 am
I see. Well then I’ll leave you to it.
___
1:25 pm
she totally bought it for about halfway through the period until Eddie Beyres ratted me out
1:27 pm
Still wrong number.
1:28 pm
oh I know. I just figured you deserve to know the outcome of our bet
1:29 pm
I didn’t actually bet you $20, I hope you know.
1:30 pm
WHAT
1:30 pm
WHAT WERE MY PROLONGED EFFORTS EVEN FOR
1:30 pm
WHYYYYYYYY
1:31pm
No one told you to harass the spanish teacher.
1:31 pm
Hold on. Prolonged? We’ve only spoken once this morning.
1:33 pm
exactly. but this has been a long time coming. no more “en español, niño” anymore
1:33 pm
You have quite the vendetta against underpaid teachers.
1:34 pm
don’t tell me you feel bad for them
1:34 pm
for… javert
1:35 pm
God no. He’s a pig.
1:36 pm
Besides, don’t you have actual friends to be telling this stuff to?
1:37 pm
so we’re not actual friends? ouch, stranger. that cuts deep
1:38 pm
I’m rolling my eyes.
1:39 pm
yet you still answer…
1:40 pm
Well someone keeps pestering me.
1:41 pm
i’m only entertaining you. surely you’re bored of this school
1:42 pm
That’s hardly near nor there.
1:43 pm
How can you assume that we attend the same school? I am a complete stranger.
1:44 pm
i don’t think a 37 yr old pedophile would go through such great lengths for lil ol’ me
1:45 pm
Don’t beat yourself up. Some pedophile somewhere would love to prey on you
1:46 pm
gee thanks, stranger. that makes me feel loads better
1:47 pm
I aim to please.

4:38 pm
Nice try.
4:39 pm
awe come on. I should at least know who my partner in crime is
4:41 pm
Partner in crime? I didn’t do anything.
4:42 pm
you’re an accomplice. a witness. an onlooker of political protest
4:43 pm
And what exactly were you protesting?
4:51 pm
the lack of language diversity at our school
4:52 pm
I find it interesting how long it took you to answer that.
4:53 pm
I have no comment at this time.
4:53 pm
Thank god.
4:54 pm
frreal though, you’re not going to tell me who you are?
4:55 pm
I frreal won’t.
4:55 pm
are you a boy or a girl?
4:56 pm
That’s a gendered question.
4:56 pm
you don’t sound like a boy
4:57 pm
I won’t even begin to tell you what’s wrong with that statement.
4:58 pm
ahaha i’m just messing with you don’t worry
4:58 pm
I wasn’t .
4:59 pm
are you a junior?
5:00 pm
I’m not playing 21 questions with you.
5:01 pm
must be if you have javert
5:02 pm
or you’re a REALLY advanced sophomore
5:03 pm
are you a sophomore?
5:10 pm
awe, man. not the silent treatment
5:17 pm
we had such a good thing, stranger
___
7:13 pm
If you must know, I turned off my phone to study.
7:14 pm
for three hours???
7:14 pm
I also had dinner.
7:15 pm
well. that seems reasonable enough. can’t pull you away from your studies…
7:16 pm
Don’t.
7:16 pm
currently marking a check next to “studious” on the mysterious stranger identification list
7:17 pm
That’s hardly a clue.
7:18 pm
on the contrary. In fact, i don’t think i’ve ever met anyone who genuinely studies in our year
7:19 pm
so youre either crazy, or…
7:20 pm
Yeah yeah. I get it.
7:20 pm
a nerd
7:21 pm
I'm a sophomore. I take Javert’s AP calc.
7:22 pm
I just involuntarily shivered. Is there a chill in here?
7:23 pm
We’re not even in the same room.
7:24 pm
you wish we were in the same room ;)
7:25 pm
Hardly.
7:26 pm
It's perfectly reasonable to study for difficult classes and care about school.
7:27 pm
not when you’re a sophomore dude. that’s your last chance to fuck off and have fun
7:28 pm
and harass the teachers?
7:29 pm
exactly
7:30 pm
Then, what is your excuse? Are you not a junior?
7:31 pm
ouch.
7:32 pm
Just saying.
7:33 pm
If you must know I just don’t care about school. It’s not like I’m gonna get into college or anything.
7:34 pm
I find that hard to believe
7:35 pm
my grades would beg to differ
7:36 pm
Do you just not care?
7:36 pm
I don’t believe there’s much reason for me to go to college, so why make the effort?
7:37 pm
Do you believe in anything?
7:38 pm
not really
7:38 pm
That’s ridiculous. There has to be something that sparks your reasoning to go on.
7:39 pm
I’m just stuck here like the rest of you poor sods, man
7:40 pm
We’ll see about that.
