So I'm sitting in Psych class in the corner seat as usual, asleep as Ms. Coberly is droning on. Her voice manages to lull me into unconsciousness like some kind of Wiccan incantation. I wake up just as class is over.

A really cute girl is standing there eyeing my Gashlycrumb Tinies shirt. She's smiling.

"That's awesome, man," she says.

I stupidly scratch my head with a pencil. "Thanks," I say. That's all I can think of. The oasis in my right brain has suddenly dried up.

A second later she is gone.

On the way home, I think of the perfect witty response. Le esprit d'escalier.
