Slowly, Kyle slips into his class next to his trusted friend. Tracy looks over inquisitively waiting for an answer. The tension continued to build as they exchanged glances for the 50 min class period. Still no answer.
They walked in silence to their next course, Tracy still waiting, Kyle not answering. They avoided looking at each other for fear of Kyle's possibly unwanted answer. The silence was brutal throughout their third course, partially because the professor apparently had some sort of vocal restriction that didn't allow him to use more than one tone throughout his lecture. Almost as if he had been dared to put every member in the class to sleep. This lecture only added to the tension between friends.
Five O'clock rolls around. By now, Kyle and Tracy had been eating dinner for 30 minutes still in silence. Finally Tracy couldn't take it anymore. He had to know. Asked the question as if he had been a balloon filled too far and exploded.
"WHAT happened?!?!? What did you tell them? What were you thinking?!?"
"What do you mean Tracy? I don't know what your talking about. maybe you are just fishing for an answer that I don't have."
"I'm not fishing. You disappeared for 2 hours today after a Professor pulled you out of class. Where were you and how did they find out it was us on the SWKT?"
"Again, you are fishing for an answer i dont have. The professor just asked me about an published paper I wrote."
"O alright. We are good then."
"Yup.. Like a jellyfish in the ocean"
Tracy calmed down and went to his room. Opened the covers laid down. something shot out from underneath his back and fell on the ground... He looked and saw a fish staring him blankly in the face.
"HEY TRACY! Did I mention I went fishing after the professor asked me about the paper?"
