Hiding In Plain Sight

(I am sitting in my history discussion section, in the same seat I have occupied all semester. Our teacher’s assistant is handing back our quizzes.)

Teacher’s Assistant: “[My Name]… [My Name]?”

Me: *waves hand*

Teacher’s Assistant: “Is [My Name] here?”

Me: *waves hand higher*

Teacher’s Assistant: “[My Name]? [My Name]?”

Me: *exasperated* “[Teacher’s Assistant], I’m right here!”

(He turns and sees me. He blushes as he realizes what has happened.)

Teacher’s Assistant: “Ah, your usual spot. Good place to hide.”
