Ever heard of the nursery rhyme, 'A-Tisket a -Tasket'? I haven't. Not until I met him.
Tisket was the name he always introduced himself as. At the time, when anyone asked why 'Tisket', he would give you this look of amusement or boredom and tell you to simply, "Look it up." It made no sense, but then again neither did he. Of course, we could have looked up his picture in one of his old school yearbooks, or simply asked his parents but the mystery was fun.

Coffee, energy drinks, medicine, and anything else he could talk his parents into getting him for the sake of a 'good grade'. Sadly, all his efforts were futile, and that next big test was coming up. You all know their's always that one kid in the school. That one who always is high off his rocker and such. Has the connections to majority of things one can ask for, or knows almost anything in the school. If not, you are lucky or oblivious. Hanging in with the correct crowd and simply didn't notice them. Tisket had ran with the correct crowd though, yet they had heard of his dilemma and decided to be courteous. They approached, and offered. Some sweet words of what he wanted to hear, and it was hook, line, sinker, Tisket took the bait. He knew he shouldn't have, but he
