>First day of English class
>A girl in my environs overtly eyes my books.
>"Is that Joyce?" She asks.
>”Yeah.”
>”Oh cool, I really like him.”
>”I just checked this out, but I haven’t read it.”
>”Finnegans can be a bit much if you haven’t read Joyce yet.”
>A girl that reads Joyce? I’m intrigued.
>"Have you read this in class?" I ask.
>"No, I read and write in my free time. I don’t need an English class for that."
>I smile, “So what are you doing in an English class?”
>“English class?”
>Open doors, the mathmasters walkers in and gingerly jumbles formulaics on the bored (he flew them over my roundhead).
>“I’m in the wrong class!”
>Wake up from embarrassment
>Realize the Joyce girl was only my subconscious
>Make myself a cup of coffee
>Mom wants to talk to me
>“Maybe it’s time you got a job”
