Oh, Great One.

What are you doing here, Shawn? Um, I'm just calling him now. I don't know if his name is Shawn, or anything.

Too bad.

Well?

It's about your brother.

In school hours, I have no brother.

Yeah, you know, 3:00, you'll really have no brother.

Make this quick.

Help.

How could you possibly get into this much trouble in one day?

It didn't take me a whole day.

Alright, look, last bill, head straight to the nurse's office, tell them you are sick, after that, Mum and Dad'd come and pick you up.

Will I look like a coward?

Yeah, you will. So why don't you fight him?

All right, who took the last piece of chicken? Who took the last piece of chicken?

And the nurse's office is where?

Do not attempt to re-contact me.

So, what do you got?

Oh, you know, I got a fever and chills and the fluttering pelvis.

I got a broken nose.

Got that.

Sprained¹ arm.

Got that

And I got asthma².

Hoo.

We are just gonna wait here in the nurse's office until our parents or guardians³ pick us up.

That's what we are gonna to do everyday.

You are gonna sit in the nurse's office every day?

It's safe.

Safe, we like safe.

Woo, aren't you worried what other guys will think? I mean that they'll think you are...

Cowards?

So cowards, we aren't gonna be in this school six years. No big deal.
