testicles, obviously not his own because Asians have small...anyway, I'm pretty sure his drawing won't be covered on the MCAT. “ Gabriel, you're supposed to be studying, not drawing dildos, ” I scold, hoping that he'll grow up, at least before next week's exam. “ First of all, it's a c*ck— with balls. Second of all, why are you walking around then instead of studying?” “ Because I'm done studying, ” I arrogantly reply. “ Done? We've only been here for an hour. There's no way that you're done. ” “ I studied before today unlike you, nimrod. ” “ I'll show you a rod, ” Gabriel smirks, pointing at his obscenely distasteful drawing. “ Well, if you do bad on the MCAT, you won't have a rod anymore because your parents will chop it off.” “ You know why I'm not laughing? ” Gabriel asks moronically. He points his left index finger at me, holding a stern look in his eyes and exclaims, “ Because you're right. ” “ And if I do bad, my parents will chop off my rod— and balls, so I'm in the same sh*tty boat as you are. That's why we have to study or else we're screwed.” “ Alright, alright. Don't get your panties in a bunch. ” “ I got panties in a bunch last night at Emilie's, ” I say boastfully. “ Har-har. Well, don't worry about the MCAT. Because if you fail, you can always be a comedian, ” Gabriel advises sarcastically. “ Gabriel, why do people make such a big deal about scores? ” I find myself changing the subject. “ I mean, seriously. Getting straight A's, high test scores— it's not like they ask you for your SAT score when you check in a hotel or board a plane. Everyone makes such a big deal about scores but in the real world, no one gives a sh*t.” “ Hey, bro. You're preaching to the choir. For most Asians, school is life and life is school. For us Japanese, work is life and life is work. We excel in the classroom and in the office but in the real world, we are outcasts. We are minorities, not just because of the yellow color of our skin, but because of our beliefs and our way of life. We're so focused on money, status, and power that we don't care about anything else. That's why no one cares about us,” Gabriel finishes saying. true. “ Your philosophy ranks up there with Kant and Rousseau, ” I snicker, half-lie and half-
“ You know that I'm right about the money, status, and power obsession, ” Gabriel persists, advocating his tenets. “ Of course, you're right. Actually, I'm right since I'm the one who came up with the Asian Pride Theorems, remember?” “ Yes, Professor Small Johnson. ” “ Yeah, that's really original, GAYbriel. ” “ Your mom's original. ” “ You've used that before, you unoriginal prick.” “ I'll show you a prick! ” Gabriel points at his drawing yet again. “ You've used that before, too! ” “ I've used your mom before too. ” Gabriel won't be stopping anytime soon. We've been here for only an hour, studying for the d@mn MCAT and neither of us has accomplished anything. We're so screwed.
