Daria – The Basement and Beyond
It was an ordinary day at Lawndale High. Daria Morgendorffer was both bored and annoyed. Bored at the standardized curriculum. Annoyed at the football player who continually failed to understand even the most simple of concepts. ‘Did he get byes all the way through?’ she wondered, not for the first time. She wondered why, Mr. DeMartino kept expending energy on him, trying to get through to him, risking getting further burnt out in the process. She looked at the time. It was almost lunch.
“Remember, class. The fortnightly Quizz is tomorrow,” DeMartino said. He looked towards a certain football player. “Some may fail, if they don’t apply themselves in study!”
“Huh?” Kevin Thompson said.
