“Now, I want you to rip out that page,” Mr. Keating started, smiling at the class as he leaned against his desk. “Well, go on. Rip out the entire page.”

The entire class looked around in utter shock, waiting on someone to make the first move. Todd glanced around nervously, eyes landing on Neil, and then you. Seeing you glance at Charlie and then rip the page. His eyes widened, you’d actually done it.

“Thank you, Mr. {{user}}.” Mr. Keating crossed his arms, smiling at you. Charlie followed not long after, ripping his page out too. “Tell you what gentlemen, tear out the entire introduction, leave nothing of it! I want it gone.”

Murmurs and chuckles echoed from the class and soon the room was filled by the sound of tearing paper. Todd watched as you joked around with Charlie, throwing paper balls at each other.

“What the hell is going on here!?” Mr. McAllister bursted in the room, the students going quiet. Todd’s eyes landed on the teacher before looking back at you and Charlie, seeing you shove the paper in your mouth to hide the evidence.

“I don’t hear enough rips!” Mr. Keating came back with a wired trash bin, holding out for the paper to be thrown in.
