[massacre man]

What the fuck is Sudoku?

Back to the school, first period has ended, James and Mahoney exit the class.

Mahoney: Alright, I'll see you later.

James: Peace.

Mahoney walks downstairs, James begins to walk down the hallway when Mr. Keller steps out of the classroom at the same time as Abbi and calls James back.

Mr. Keller: James, come here.

James turns around and walks back, Mr. Keller takes him inside of the classroom and sits in his seat, he holds up the paper James turned in and looks at James silently for a moment.

James: I...

Mr. Keller interrupts him.

Mr. Keller: This was a great piece.

James: What?

Mr. Keller: It was just great, the way you left the ending open, great writing.

James: Oh... thanks.

Mr. Keller: Keep doing papers like this and I'll start passing you.

James: Alright, is that all you pulled me in here for?

Mr. Keller: Yeah, go ahead... write more pieces like this.

James: Will do, sir.

James walks outside, Abbi is still waiting for him, he puts his arm around her.

James: Remind me to thank Brian.

Abbi: Why?

James: No reason.

A voice whispers from a classroom, it's Gabriel.

Gabriel: James, come here.

James looks at Abbi.

James: One minute...

James walks over to Gabriel.

James: What?

Gabriel: Hey man, what's up?

James: I'm going to my class, now what the fuck do you want?

Gabriel: What's up with Mahoney?

James: What do you mean?

Gabriel: I was trying to talk to Jennifer this morning and he was being a dick to me.

James looks off into space, Gabriel tries catching his attention again.

Gabriel: James!

James snaps to attention and looks at him.

James: Sorry, I was trying to think of things I cared less about. Nope, nothing.

James turns around and walks back to Abbi, he puts his arm around her again.

Abbi: James...

James: I Swear to God I'm gonna flip shit if you tell me you like Jennifer too.

Abbi: No, I was wondering what you were doing after school today.

James: Tech and then me and Mahoney were gonna go see "Sweeney Todd". Do you wanna come?

Abbi: Can I?

James: Sure.

The late bell rings.

James: Shit... Do you even want to go to class?

Abbi: Not really.

James: Well... then fuck it.

James and Abbi both walk into the girls bathroom to skip class.
