"Ehh... I drew Old Lady Temple this time around." It wasn't even a complete lie. He had been in Mrs. Temple's Physical Science class...during the fall semester, and they had done a similar experiment, only using the school's pool. "I think she gives out boring-ass assignments like that 'cause she's been there about a hundred years, and is just marking time 'til she can collect her pension." Yeah, when skate-talk failed, gossip about the teachers. Always a good backup plan.

"So who'd you have?"
