Time for History

Greg zoomed back over to his school, a few minutes late but nothing that a wink, smile, and his new favorite ring couldn't fix. After charming his way into History without getting a tardy, he decided to have a little fun. Mr. Bryce was a nice guy, so he decided against anything too mean or embarassing. Just a few "edits" to commonly known historical facts.

Mentally, he channeled his thoughts into the speech of his teacher.

"Pop quiz time!" The class groaned as they reached for paper and pencil. "You won't need those, this is an oral exam. If you get a question right, you can take the rest of the period off. Open book, too." Hoots and hollers filled the room as the students excitedly flipped open their books to prepare.

"Who was the first President of the United States?"

Almost every hand shot up, and he called on Danielle, a pudgy but cute Junior who was taking Senior level history classes.

"George Washington? Duhhh." Everyone laughed.

"I'm sorry, the correct answer is Genghis Khan." The students looked at each other with doubt, while Danielle shrunk into her chair angrily.

"Next question. The Civil War was fought over..." Again, hands filled the air. "Kevin?"

"Slavery, and also individual rights of the states?"

"No, wrong again. It was actually just a case of sexual frustration. You know what, you can all leave now anyway. Oh, and the paper due next week is delayed until the end of the month."

More cheers sprang forth as the classroom emptied. Now that school was out, Greg was getting close to time for his date.
