Today, we were all supposed to have finished reading Dorian Gray in Brit Lit. I’d finished it two weeks prior, so no worries. Well, Student Teacher decides we should do a review game in order to prepare for the essay tomorrow. Jeopardy! Woo.
“Split up into 3 teams,” she tells us. Since our class doesn’t contain transsexuals, hermaphrodites, or the like, we can’t group by gender as is the norm. We divide up by rows then.
With the absence of one person, the other two teams are equal in skill. I look at the kids seated in my row, and immediately think, “Oh God.” And not in a good way.
“Give me your team names,” Student Teacher says. The other teams quickly deliberate, and come up with rather fierce-sounding titles, such as Legions of Doom and Team Ramrod (which was subsequently changed to Sons of Baltimore. Don’t ask.)
“I don’t care,” I told my group. Being the similarly uncaring/unoriginal individuals that they were, they decided on Anonymous. And no, I don’t think any of them were /btards.
The game gets off to a rough start with SOB (yes, that’s why) taking 3 5-pointers in a row. Anon gets the 4-pointers, and LOD has none.
“So, what category should we go for?” I ask, as I have unanimously and silently been voted team captain. They respond with shrugs and giggles. “Okay, whatever.” I pick randomly.
“So, what do you guys think the answer is?” I ask, on a 3-pointer rebound. Again, I am met with half-hearted guesses and shrugs. I guess, and get the points.
This continues until the half-way point, where I finally just stop turning around to look at anyone. I pick the questions to answer, I answer them without consulting anyone, and I get them right. All the while thinking ‘Fuck y’all unassertive, uncommunicative, unwilling idiots.’
And I singlehandedly win us the game. We get candy. Jesus.
Edit: I remembered what I forgot to add in. Every time I answered a question, this kid from LOD would yell “Kobe!” (I only know it’s ‘Kobe,’ because he mentioned ‘Bryant’ once).
I looked it up on Urban Dictionary. Some definitions (such as ass-pounding females) are probably not the intended meaning. However:
1. kobe: Kobe Scores 20+ points per game for the lakers… BUT KOBE DONT PASS.
I like it.
And yes, Julia… they all got candy too. At least one guy had the decency to thank me.
