Alice is in French class, her mind wandering as her teacher rambles on and on. The girl next to her nervously plays with her hair as she stumbles over the words.

"M-mon père a cinquante-huit ans." She whispers and the teacher asks her to speak up for the umpteenth time.

Alice begins entertaining herself with imagining her teacher's reaction to telling them that her father was over three hundred years old when her cellphone vibrated. One eye on the teacher, she digs it out of her pocket and flips it open.

Jasper's trying not to crack up in class. He doesn't want his cell confiscated.

Maybe you should have set ground rules.

You are the father. Aren't you supposed to tell
me to be safe or abstain?

Be safe. Abstain from my car.

Have fun in class.
