My Sincerest Surge of Joy (the limbo in my life)


Scene 1: Seeing that C-bin's online, must mean he's back from Chicago.
C-bin: (typing) I know my grade! I know my grade!
Yih: (t--) What?
C-bin: (t--) Math! Statistics! The horror class of my life!
Yih: (t--) How?
C-bin: (t--) I was sooooo worried I asked Ms. O.
Yih: (t--) How did you do then?
C-bin: (t--) 90.
Yih: (SCREAMING) Oh yeah, oh yeah (dances around the house, mum looks at me like the freak I am) Oh yeah, oh yeah!
C-bin: (t--) Are you there?
Yih: (settling down, sitting down) Yes. (happy grin plastered on my face)
C-bin: (t--) Guess what?
Yih: (t--) What?
C-bin: (t--) I got my SAT scores back.
Yih: (mumbles to myself) I know it… he's going to score higher than me. I know I know know it.
C-bin: (t--) They weren't that bad.
Yih: (t--) How did you do?
C-bin: (t--) 1430.
Yih: (bangs my head against the wall) I knew I knew knew it!
C-bin: (t--) Are you okay?
Yih: (thinking) He didn't see me do that did he? (thinking again) He can't! I don't have a webcam!
Scene 2: Getting the mail a week later. Seeing the school: SBS on the from and panicking. I rip open the envelope and scan the grades.
Yih: WOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
RC: (reads) Statistics: Sem 2 Fin- 94!
Yih: (dances around, not caring the black and white polka dot dog is yapping at me) Yeah baby! Yeah baby! Yeah baby! Yeah baby!
RC: (reads) Statistics: Sem 2 Avg- 90!
Yih: (calms down and walks back authoriatively to the door) Hey mum, guess what?
Mum: (pokes her head out of her room) I hate guessing.
Yih: (sighs, thinking: NO FUN!) You don't have to chop my head off.
Mum: (suspicious look)
Yih: (waves my RC in front of her face) Look! (points at the Statistics grade) I got a 90.
Mum: He must have given you a few points.
Yih: (groans)
Mum: You made a B.
RC: (reads) Statistics: 4th 9 weeks- 85!
Yih: (points to the Statistics: Sem 2 Avg- 90!) That's more important! GPA, mum!
Mum: You still made a B!
Yih: (SD, glares at RC)
RC: (thinking) What did the fuck did I do?
