Why were you absent yesterday? Why do you care? You should be thankful I care so much about your education. The truth is, I didn't hear the alarm clock. You missed out on a very important lecture. It happens. I'll just ask my friend what was on the lecture. Is she a good note taker? I don't know. I guess? If you were in class, you wouldn't have to rely on anyone's notes. I can't change the past. I know. Anyways, you should increase the volume on your alarm clock. I suppose I could do that.
