Week #5
(E is for enigmatic, elbow, and elsewhere)

“He’s so enigmatic! I ask him a question – even something simple like did you see Evan’s new car – and he never answers me straight.”
“Maybe it’s because his thoughts are elsewhere.”
“You’re defending him?”
“He’s always been nice to me. Anyway, I think he’s got an eloquent way of speaking. Classy. You can tell he’s smart.”
“One guy’s eloquence is another’s BS.”
“You seem pretty decided about him. Or is it envy?”
“Hardly. So he makes better grades. A lot of people do – I’m no genius. But he likes to elbow his way into conversations to show off.”
“He’s funny, though. You have to admit that much.”
“You mean the excuse he used when he didn’t have his paper done?”
“Yeah. ‘Was that due this week?’ After Sedgely had just reminded us. Everyone just fell out. ”
