Hungry Beast had it as a high school re-union, others have mentioned it as high school, and now you! And now a song: Won't you believe it? It's just my luck.(x4) No recess!(x3) Won't you believe it?

And now a song:

Won’t you believe it?
It’s just my luck.(x4)

No recess!(x3)

I am honestly at a loss as to why they would have spent any time arguing over (the metaphorical equivalent of) what grade they were going to get. (I'd welcome suggestions here.) I think I would have been slightly happier if they were at least arguing one step closer to the action - what the total world CO2 emissions should be (how much studying needs to be done), but the real question is how much studying each is actually going to do. Configurator,
