Off white and yellow.
I don’t think that’s a good sign.
The lights need cleaning.

I want the courage
To talk to any guy here
Like the other girls.

Why is there homework?
I do way more work at home.
Isn’t that home schooled?

What is he doing?
He is home schooled like Mango…
That must be awesome.

Young Writers Project.
Can’t wait until after school.
But… then there’s homework.

That’s interesting.
Colored chalk does not wipe off.
The next will be mad.

Cafeteria.
Is there anything healthy?
Response: I think not.

I like her jacket.
I wish I had one like that.
Maybe… Or do I?

Please, please, don’t choose me.
Prof, I don’t have the answer!
Oh no… Not again…

I like colored pens.
They are fun to take notes with.
red, blue, green, and black.

They are so noisy,
As they walk past the French door.
I like distractions.

Why is the sky really blue?
Teachers can’t decide…

These are quite entertaining. Especially the colored chalk one. I can't believe nobody's invented a color that will actually erase by now.
