When Everything Defeats What's Ultimate (the limbo in my life)


Scene 1: I'm screaming with excitement, SCHOOL'S finally over! (Yup, yup, very very good day. More time to do fun fun things!)
Yih: (slam my locker open, throwing the rest of my books into my bag) I'm so glad school's out!
C-bin: (walks up to me) Heard about Statistics?
Yih: (closes my locker) Eh?
C-bin: He's graded them already.
Yih: Oh?
C-bin: Class average was 27 right out of 39.
Yih: EEEK!!!
C-bin: I got 28 right.
Yih: Good for you! Knowing me… eh pretty pretty bad!
Scene 2: The Stick walks up.
Stick: I'm ready for Summer!
Yih: (sarcasm drips from my voice) I was too, but… (points to C-bin) Mister Man just ruined it for me. (turns to him) I REALLY REALLY didn't need to know this.
C-bin: Hey! I'm not the one that got 34 right!
Stick: It was the Genius' score, right?
Yih: THAT MEANS CURVE!
C-bin: (smiles) Yup.
Yih: But, DAMN him! It won't be enough… (dramatic sigh)
Stick: Probably not.
C-bin: (pushes me) Go check your score! He's in the room right now! Go check your score!
Yih: I dun wanna!
Stick: I'll go if someone goes with me.
Yih: (huge intake of breath) I'll go with you then.
C-bin: (sooooo happy expression) Yaya!
Scene 3: C-bin opens the door to the determination factor room.
Stick: You go in first.
Yih: No, you go!
C-bin: Someone go in!
Yih: Fine! (I walk in.)
Mr. K: So you want to know your grade?
Yih: Yes, we both do. (shrugging toward the Stick.)
Mr. K: Do you want me to say your score outloud?
Yih: Uh… Uh… Better show me privately.
Mr. K: Okay. (shows me the score.)
Yih: (huge sigh of relief). Not too bad.
Stick: You can show me my score. (He looks at it and doesn't seem to upset.)
Yih: (walking out.) How did you do?
Stick: 31. You?
Yih: 30.
C-bin: Well, how did you guys do?
Yih: He got a 31; I got a 30.
C-bin: (face faults) Ugh!?
