“I might flunk this class,” Michael whimpered, staring at the long list of assignments, homework and tests he failed to do. Ever since Tia threaten to divorce him on Monday he’s been concerned about how his grade could drop down to a zero.
“It’s you’re fault Michael,” Tre snickered, showing no kind of remorse. “I warned you what would happen if you didn’t stand your ground.”

“Why would I be sick? I’m here in class.”
“Every time you’re in a ten-foot radius of him, there’s always a giant clash and yet today you two are acting like two civilized classmates. What gives?”
“We just decided to try and get alone for your sake.”
“I didn’t agree to it, but she’s forcing herself, so I really don’t have a choice,” Tre shrugged, concentrating on his etch a sketch… Wait, where did he get that
