I lay on my back on the teacher's desk beside Addison, both of us staring up at the drop-tile ceiling and its magnificent fluorescent lighting. The math equations from this morning's pre-calculus class were still visible on the whiteboard in the corner. Someone had drawn a dick on the margin. Quality education.
