Modern Day Students Like To Collect “Likes”

(I hear this conversation during English class. It’s still a relatively new school year, and we’re trying to form some opinions about our new teachers:)

Girl #1: “My history teacher is really nice.”

Girl #2: “Mine, too, except he hates [Friend].”

Girl #1: “How do you know?”

Girl #2: “Well, every time we have questions he completely ignores her.”

Girl #1: “That doesn’t sound so bad.”

Girl #2: “Yeah, well, yesterday he answered questions for half the class, and [Friend] was one of the first people who had one. He never answered her question. So, she asked him why he ignored her, and he said, ‘I was hoping I wouldn’t have to answer you because I don’t like you.’”
