the phone call felt familiar and so i said yes to the job. the woman i'd be subbing for, a girl i knew in high school, thought maybe a field trip would be best. she recommended a boat ride. i agreed. on the day i was to teach her kids i showed up at 1:40pm. since classes began at 8, i was late. i had trouble pronouncing names during roll call and wasted about an hour's worth of time. some of them were on my side. some of them were dancing with hula hoops in the center of the room. i escaped and set up shop in the courtyard to sell old t-shirts to some friends i used to know.
