I felt like smacking Charlie upside the head, fuck that fascist piece of garbage. Hitler was wrong and so was Franco, but according to him Churchill wrote all the books to frame them poorly. Hey dip shit actions speak louder than words. Millions dead, a genocidal maniac and millions living in fear. Damn was I in a pissy mood but at least I have my favorite class next. Mr Jones was such a laid back chill dude and his classes were the best. I looked at my watch. Shit fuck! I’m almost late, as lax as Mr Jones is, his one policy is to not be late. Run damn it. So close yet so far. ‘Ring’. Damn I'll be late and I'll definitely be staying after class. Ahh damn. I walked in and there was Charlie giving me a shit eating grin. Really making this pacifist want to throw down.
