I wish I've seen the world's probably only real pool-table hijack!

We were all socially awkward when it came to the opposite sex and I remember none of us spoke a word to the person sitting next to us for at least a term and a half.

This is so cute. : )

I would guess that this story is a mixture of truth and fiction - Mr. Howe is a real character and you did receive an essay punishment for giggling, but the boy didn't really burn his eyebrows, or did he?

Cheers!
