I had hoped,

that we would fit.

But it feels like,

and has received a scholarship.

And he sings like an angel.

Look here!

I will miss you.

Tomorrow it begins.

Perhaps I die during the night,

and get rid of it.

If I have to survive here,

I have become friends with the other.

respected and honored.

I have become friends with Rambos

is destruction and death.

It was not good to be seen with

Gekko, the school's most stupid guy.

It's a madhouse.

There is always someone who is

after you or mock you.

Do not you think Milton?

This better be serious.

Thank you, Milton.

I do not recall,

to have invited you, Spud.

He could not tear it off for so

he had tweezers and magnifying glass.

It is not fair.

Even Gekko has got hair on.
