~3~ Father Knows Less
"All right, class. Time's up." Mr. Feeny said causing Gia to put her pencil down. Although it was hard to believe with the amount of procrastinating she did, Gia was a surprisingly good student. The way that she saw it, good grades kept her parents off of her back.
"Please pass your test papers to the front of your rows." Feeny said, and she did so, before turning to talk to Shawn.
"Mr. Hunter how many times have I told you not to talk in my class."
"I was talking too, Mr. Feeny." Gia spoke up, rolling her eyes.
"Yes, Miss Watts, but unlike Mr. Hunter, you're a straight A student." He turned to Minkus. "Mr. Minkus, this test didn't require an essay anwer but how refreshing that you've chosen to include one." Mr. Feeny said as he took the papers from Minkus's desk.
"Ahem," Shawn fake coughed, "Suck up."
"Future plumber." Minkus coughed back, causing Gia to roll her eyes.
"Feels a C-minus short." Mr. Feeny said as he weighted the test papers in his hand.
"Ah, yes." Mr. Feeny exclaimed as he walked over to where Cory sat sleeping on his desk, "Here we are..."
"Cory," Gia said, kicking his seat as Mr. Feeny tried to wiggle the piece of paper out from underneath Cory.
"Huh?" Cory woke with a start, "Is the test over? Did I get an A?"
"Looks like an 'A'" Mr. Feeny said.
"I got an 'A'?!"
"No. 'A' is the only answer you put down before you slipped into the coma."
"So, what did I get?"
"Well, you answered one question out of forty and got it wrong." Mr. Feeny explained, "So what grade do you think I'm going to give you?"
"Can it be found at the beginning of the word 'fajita?"
"Si, Senor."
"Come on, Mr. Feeny." Cory whined. "I was up till after midnight."
"Oh, and what earth-shattering event kept you up till that time of night?" Mr. Feeny inquired.
"A no-hitter."
Shawn gasped. "You got to stay up and watch the game?" He asked and Cory smiled,
"With my dad."
"Fun." Gia muttered, thinking of her poor excuse of a father.
"Ah, baseball. Silly me." Mr. Feeny said as he walked back to his desk. "I thought you would've stayed up for something frivolous, like the announcement from Stockholm of Noble Prizes."
"Biophysics—Dr. Ira Soochek, Medicine—Dr. Lin Yi Pao, Economics—Professor Narwhal Fowab." Minkus recited. "And I'm as fresh as a daisy."
"Teacher's pet." Gia deadpanned.
"Go fix a sink with your boyfriend."
"I wont hesitate to kill you, Minkus."
