Snippet #1974275

Jimmy looked up at the wall clock, which was a digital wall clock mind you, as Mr. Stevenson neared the end of his 'first day speech'. Class was about half over given he got there pretty late as did a few other students. It was a miracle that Mr. S wasn't pissed about it. He looked around the classroom again then back forward. "Can I go use the restroom?" Jimmy asked, raising one hand just a little bit.

"Can you? I don't know, can you? Do you posses the physical ability to use the restroom?" Mr. S responded, with a heavy dose of sarcastic humor.

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you." Jimmy paused, "Sorry, may I use the restroom?"

"Are you going to come back?" Mr. S responded again, it wouldn't have been the first time Jimmy left class by asking to go to the restroom.

"Probably," Jimmy said with a slight grin, he wasn't planning on ditching class he just wanted to get out of the dreadful speech. That, and he was dying to go get a can of soda from one of the school vending machines.

"Alright, take a pass," the teacher said before pointing towards his desk as if Jimmy didn't know where they were. Jimmy stood up and walked over, picked up one of the passes and left the room. He let out a heavy sigh upon exiting the classroom and began to make his way towards the lunchroom. There were vending machines dotted all over the school, selling things such as candy, snacks, soda, bottled water, most of the snacks were healthy snacks of course.

About halfway to the lunchroom he spotted a vending machine, he was looking for this one in particular. He wasn't exactly a cheapskate but he didn't have any money, and if you hit the coin return button fairly hard, it would drop a few quarters. It was probably just broken, but nobody had noticed save for a few people. Jimmy hit the button. Not too hard to make a noticeably loud bang, just to get a couple quarters. He then put them in the coin slot and got a mountain dew out of the machine, then began walking back to class.

((It's funny because I used to have a soda machine at my school that did that, until they fixed it. ;-;))
