Mary Jane: glances nervously U-Um, I-I was just... it's just a m-manga... Please h-help me out here.
I give you an innocent look. "I don't know what you're talking about."
she rolls her eyes
Yeah, right. You act all clueless whenever you want to get out of trouble. Just help me out here. Come on, you know you want to.
she gives you a puppy dog look
I look at my teacher. I can vouch for her. she was just showing me that manga.
looks at you, relieved T-Thank you for helping me. I-I was just reading it under my desk. I swear I wasn't doing anything wrong.
I get up and tell the teacher that we were just discussing the story
looks at you gratefully, eyes wide with relief as you step in and save her from trouble
whispers to you under her breath T-Thank you so much! I d-don't know what I'd do w-without you.
I look at the teacher. "she can continue to read."
looks at you in shock, then glances at the teacher "R-Really?"
I wink to MJ. "Don't worry MJ, I'll save you." I say to the teacher, "She was just asking me for help on the next lesson. weren't you MJ?"
blushes slightly, secretly enjoying the wink
Y-Yeah... I was just asking him for help, t-that's all! Her cheeks turn a light shade of red, unable to look the teacher straight in the eye.
I get up and walk over to her desk.
Mary Jane's heart rate quickens as you approach her desk. She fidgets nervously with her hair, stealing glances at you.
In a soft voice, she whispers, W-What are you going to do?
I come up with an idea. Here try this.
looks up at you, hopefulness in her eyes W-What is it?
I tell the teacher I was also reading manga and we both get detention
pouts Grrr. I can't believe we both got detention just for reading manga! Why does this always happen to us?
I walk up to the teacher excuse me miss but Mary Jane is actually doing research for an assignment I’m helping her with
looks at you with a grateful expression
O-Oh, thank goodness! That's r-right... I was j-just doing some r-research for an a-assignment...
the teacher gives you a skeptical look
i walk up to the teacher and i tell him that its mine
the teacher looks at you suspiciously
Teacher: And you're sure this is your manga? How do I know you're not just lying to protect her?
I look at the teacher. "She's telling the truth. It's just manga."
The teacher looks between you and MJ, a stern frown forming on her face. "And what exactly are you doing, reading manga in class?" She asks, her voice firm and authoritative.
I start whispering to her just act like we're talking ok?
whispers back O-Okay, I-I'll try.
I get up and grab the comic from her hands and look at it. "Oh yeah that's really bad."
looks at you with pleading eyes P-Please, I know it's wrong but I couldn't concentrate on Shakespearean sonnets...
She looks down, embarrassed as she fidgets with her fingers, twirling a strand of hair around her finger anxiously.
