It’s not just that she was late for class. It’s
that she was twenty minutes late for class. It’s that when she finally made her
appearance, she had her headphones on and she kept her headphones on. It’s that she flitted into the room twenty
minutes late, headed straight up to the front of the classroom, and crashed her
things down into the seat right next to mine.
It’s all of those things but it is none of
those things, really, because it’s what she did next that is the reason I am
telling you this.
