Drew:Why not?

Daisy:Um, because the man literally gives us at least one quiz per class, sometimes TWO.

Drew:Exactly. It’s a quiz, not a test…

He does have a point.

Daisy:The class is only once a week.

Drew:Yeah and it’s mind-numbing.

Daisy:Some of us have to get good grades because we HAVE to get good jobs when we graduate.

I clamp a hand over my mouth at the same time he replies back:Ouch…

Daisy:That was so rude. I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.

Drew:You can make it up to me by skipping class.

Drew:Live a little…

I don’t love being manipulated, but on the other hand, it wouldn’t kill me to skip the class.

I nibble on my bottom lip.

Daisy:LOL no

Drew:It was worth asking, I guess.

It’s also worth watching him beg, if begging is actually happening here. Hard to tell.

Daisy:Hmmm *taps chin*

Drew:You’re tapping your chin? Does that mean you’re thinking about it?

Daisy:Maybe

Drew:Maybe isn’t a no

Daisy:But it also isn’t a yes.

Drew:But it also isn’t a no, which means now the odds are 50/50. I like my new odds.

Daisy:I guess if you have an argument that could convince me to play hooky…

Drew:So what you’re saying is I can change your mind… Compromise. I like it.

Drew:1. The prof is a wanker whose only interest is hearing the sound of his own voice.

Daisy:**yawns** That has already been established.

Drew:2. YOLO

Daisy:Wow. People are still saying YOLO?

Drew:3. If you haven’t skipped the class this semester, you won’t fall behind. It’s the same class every single class.

He is not wrong, not even a little bit.
