It's been done.
With all the frenetic hecticness of the last couple of minutes, it just completely sailed away right past frantic eyes… or I guess maybe I was the one that actually went sidestepping out of the way.
Either way, I missed it… and either way, I realized it eventually, or if you really wanna align it close to the actual happenings - Irene realized it for me. Right then, I was totally too absorbed with starring the role of lap-pillow for an unconscious Elf to be realizing any profound revelations.
Priorities, man.
But yeah, I actually did it. Got the nod of approval, the smile of success… from the stone-cold teacher herself. All of her lessons done and over with. Perfect As, too.
Freaking top of my class in a classroom of one, so you know this is the real deal here. Teacher's pet, student body president, star athlete, class clown - I am basically the entire yearbook.
