Is A Cigar Just A Cigar, Tuesday, Period 3
Cindy wasn't there for class today. This was because she was very busy with important things like being a pair of glass slippers.
But Jaime had been out of town over the weekend, and had sort of missed radio, so he was just sitting with the rest of the students waiting. And then Cindy wasn't there for the start of class. And then a few minutes went by and she still wasn't there, so Jaime decided it was time to improvise!
"Um... Ms. Perrault is... running late today," he said awkwardly, moving up to the front of the classroom. No she wasn't, Jaime. And chances were most of your fellow students knew more than you did. "So we're going to... um... delve a bit more into what we talked about last week." There was a pause, and his eyes widened. "Not more writing!" he said quickly, flushing bright red. "I mean, we watched that scene from North by Northwest last week. Today we'll be watching from the beginning."
He needed to come up with a good reason for doing that, though. Oh! Right! "Pay attention to what sorts of other metaphors are being used, and we can discuss them when Ms. Perrault gets here."
She wasn't coming, Jaime. But nice try.
Boy, it sure was a good thing he'd borrowed the film from Cindy last week. Because it had looked interesting! Not for any other reason, of course!
