37
You are really draining me.
38
Is this how other people feel when they talk to me?
39
Okay, this is getting to be too much for me, so I'm gonna take the textbook
40
and go to the bathroom for the rest of the class period so I can research in peace.

I have become the thing that I dread.
43
I'll see you next time.
