Friday Class - August - 14th

A- What were you doing in front of the mall last tuesday morning?

R- I was checking out some ladies.

A- Stop showing off , dude!

R- Actually I was waiting someone to give the tickets for the new Aerosmith show away .

A- Are you trying to make me a fool?

R- No way! They were supposed to hand two thousand tickets out but unfortunately they took long and I needed to go away.

A- Is there another way to go after it for free?

R- I really don't know.

A- Hang in there bro! I'm sure you'll find a way around it. Come to think of it , how is your mother? Has she gotten over ?

R- Thanks for your concern. She , as well as my father , is getting over the flu .

A- What about you? Are you feeling well?

R- As far as I'm concerned I'm still with the flu , the common type , don't worry. I'm looking after it by taking some medicines.

A- I was really worried , essentially when I drank that "I dunno something" at J.B"s.

R- Were you afraid of taking the flu?

A- I just can't put up with a friend that puts me in the doghouse. I think we shouldn't drink that with the same glass. It's disgusting and dangerous.

R- Are you telling me you are a fuck chicken?

A- No. I'm trying to tell you I'm not a fuck idiot.

R- So the teacher is an idiot , too.

T- Calm down folks! You both are right and wrong. This groomy conversation is bringing me down cos' I'm the responsible for it. I know that none of you is going to back down. Renato is right cos' I've offered the "I dunno something" and you " Neo guy" is right cos' it's really dangerous to use the same glass to drink " I dunno something". So , in order to bring the peace back , I 'll break in this class.
