A Fool's College Admission
When I was little, Mom once said, “You love playing with water so much, why don’t you just live in the toilet?”
So I sat beside the toilet all night, until my legs went numb and I could not stand.
They laughed and called me stupid.
I only thought people said things in confusing ways.
Lucas loved using that against me.
Just last week, he deliberately knocked over my water bottle.
Hot water soaked through my textbooks.
He stood there with a crooked smile.
“Oops, Mason. My bad. I didn’t mean to do that.”
“You’re so smart, though. You must have memorized everything already, right?”
