I can't believe I'm doing this. Why am I doing this? Both of us know better. He should just do his community service and get it over with. You don't owe him anything, you know. Yeah, he's done a lot of great work recently, but all of his stuff depends on your stuff. Why are you risking the trouble? Listen to me, talking to myself like there's two of us. Pretty soon they're going to come and put me in a soft white room, and give me a new jacket.
Please enter your access code: He got this access code. Why didn't he do this himself? Never mind. I shouldn't have asked. I remember. I had to write step by step instructions for him that explained how to run the check program. Even then, it took him a long time. How can someone who's so good with . . . You can't draw to save your life, remember? Yeah, yeah. OK, let's see. Craig, Macon. There he is. Attendance Records. Hah! He hasn't missed school at all for two weeks. Before that, though, he went, let's see, like ten times in five weeks. He must have realized that doomsday was coming. We gotta make it believable. Night_Watcher[22:33]: Hey, how many absences can you have and still graduate? Fair_Weather_Friend[22:34]: I think we're allowed 6. Six, huh? Should I group them all together, so it looks like he was really sick once, or should I space them out? Let's just kind of randomly get rid of them--there we go. Somebody's going to notice. I mean, aren't his teachers going to see him, and think that something is up? They never saw him in class, but now they're seeing him graduate? Isn't that going to ring some bells? Night_Watcher[22:35]: Aren't your teachers going to think something is up? Fair_Weather_Friend[22:35]: No. School's about paperwork, not reality. If the papers are in order, everyone assumes that reality's in order, too. The papers determine what's real.
Night_Watcher[22:35]: Wow. That almost sounded deep. Fair_Weather_Friend[22:36]: :) Night_Watcher[22:36]: Ok. Now that I've finished making up a life for you that doesn't exist, can I do anything else for you? Fair_Weather_Friend[22:36]: I don't know. Have you seen Rocio? Night_Watcher[22:37]: Rocio? Fair_Weather_Friend[22:37]: Yeah, you know that girl . . . Night_Watcher[22:37]: Oh, that's her name. No, I haven't seen her recently. Why? Fair_Weather_Friend[22:39]: We kind of got into an argument the other day. I haven't seen her for about two weeks. Kind of an argument? Sounds like it was a doozy to me. Glad it's him and not me Night_Watcher[22:39]: Sorry, man. If I see her, is there something you want me to say? Fair_Weather_Friend[22:41]: No, not really. Just tell her I'm sorry. Poor kid. She's really got him. That's probably why he's been going to school, 'cause he wasn't at home sleeping off the nights he partied with her. Lovely_Lips[22:41]: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Oh crap. Now I'm in trouble! Trackbacks
