Didn’t Make A Passable Attempt

(On the first day of class, my teacher is talking about attendance and how we need it to pass.)

Teacher: “I had one student who didn’t show up for several months. Then one day she came back.”

Classmate: “What happened?”

Teacher: “She told me she had left school to move in to her boyfriend’s dorm room. But her parents found out and forced to leave and now she was back.” *his face goes carefully blank* “She asked me if she would still be able to pass the class.”

(I can guess what he told her.)
