We'Ll Both Know

In a way this sort of feels like school.
One moment we're curiously writing and passing notes to each other.
The next we're caught and sent off to detention. 
I never knew which box you checked.
Yes.
No.
Maybe kinda sort of.

There's a lesson to be learned from all of this.
Which one I am really not sure.
I wasn't paying attention. 
Instead of studying. 
Here I am writing another note.
It never really occurred to me.
That while the teacher is teaching. 
Filling us with what passes the time.
Life happens behind his back.

The context of how competitive everything is.
In retrospect. 
What did you get for number 2.
A.
B.
Or C

Which answer dictates how fast he turns around. 
One day soon we'll both know
