Sitting in Sampson's car later that night, the three of them got to talking about their futures, as they found themselves doing many times.
"You know we're almost out of this prison they call high school," Rameck said jokingly.
"It's not so bad," George said. "Some of the teachers are too easy, and some just don't care, but it's basically cool with me."
"What you gonna do when you graduate now that you're not getting kicked out?" Sampson asked Rameck.
"Well, I know Mrs. Silly String would never believe it, but I'd really like to be a teacher," Rameck admitted.
"So kids not even born yet can do to you what we did to our teachers?" Sampson asked with a laugh.
Rameck sighed. "No, 'cause I know what it's like to be a kid who needs more but doesn't know how to ask for it. Only a few teachers know how to reach out to kids like me. I could do that."
"You're right, man," George said. "But I don't want to teach-I want to be a doctor or nurse or something medical."
"I don't even know what you have to do to become something like that," Sampson said honestly.
"I don't either," George said. "But I figure you need big piles of money and about a million years to spend in college."
