AP Testing

Blonde girl then picks up a plastic bag next to her and says to green shirt "I got all this paper for a project. gonna go crazy" and dives back into the friend drama. sweatpants is observing the room, not really doing anything but sighing. the sub stands up from his desk and looks at the big group whose current topic is Mexico. "go to Mexico and buy that stuff easy" someone says. lady then stands up and speaks to the sub for a moment before leaving the class. pretty girl and delta nununu are on their phones but delta nununu seems to be working on the assignment at the same time. "I've been to Mexico 5 times" someone from the big group says. "dude you've never been to Mexico Mexico" and the topic is now being mugged everywhere in Mexico but Mexico city. the subs stands up again and starts to walk around the class a bit.  tooth asks delta nununu a question which she replies "haha I always bring my book". country then ruptures my attention "so which parts of Mexico is not Mexico?". at this time the sub has made his way to the big group is standing next to them, but says nothing. to the next of me green shirt is showing blonde girl something on her phone and laughs "i like you guys. you're so easy to entertain". sweatpants then joins the girls conversation for a couple of minutes. Sophmore and pretty girl are on their phones. Lady then returns to the class and sits back down. by this time Everest and black shirt are on the topic about retiring, which the sub (still standing next to them) joins in on. tooth then glances over to the group while sweatpants sighs and lifts his arms, rubbing them a bit before making a comment to the girl duo's conversation. mustache is eating chips while the rest of the group is talking and tooth yet again glances over to them before asking delta nununu about the assignment. Pretty girl, lady, and sweatpants are still on their phone. the big group is still talking, but the sub is now quiet and stands over them. the girls next to me are also still talking. sweatpants then starts to rub his hands which green shirt mimics "stop, you're making my head hurt" complains sweatpants. green shirt smiles and ignores him, continuing to mimic him for a bit before going back to talking to blonde girl who was watching the whole thing go down. my interest shifts back to the big group, where the sub is talking about his time in Vietnam. tooth glances over to the group. green shirt to the right of me is still mimicking sweatpants and blonde girl is on her phone. tooth then turns to delta asks why shes doing her work "so I don't have to do it later, i have so much work" delta nununu replies before going back to her work. tooth glances at the big group who are now taking about taxes. sweatpants is picking at his hands . suddenly black shirt remarks "she's taking good notes", making the big group and the sub to look at me as I raise a thumbs up as a reply. the sub then makes a joke about how I am writing about how the class is not paying attention. sweatpants and delta nununu start to talk about the bad road construction near campus is, remarking that "it's like the just spray painted it black". meanwhile blonde girl is playing a video for green shirt next to me and the sub moves from the big group to delta nununu and talks to her for a bit before sitting back down at his desk. The current topic of the big group is now about driving. the sub gets up from his desk and walks over to lady and says "that quiz not bad is it?" "aaahhh, ill knock it out" she replies while stretching. the sub then goes next ot the big group again. sweatpants is on his phone and blonde girl is still showing green shirt something on her phone. black shirt then makes a remark to country girl "you don't want to see it" resulting in a flurry of voices and I am too slow to write down what they're actually saying. the sub then walks to where I am sitting and attempts to make small talk with me before giving up (tooth glances over quite a bit during this exchange).
