Hey I haven't had a poem with redacted names in a while.
Reminder that different number of hashtags are different people
I do the number same number of hashtags as letters in their name.

"I have to discuss y'alls test scores."
Oh shoot.
I didn't study.

2 A's
Maybe I'm one of the A's.

15 B's
I wonder if he got a higher score.

7 C's
"Please say I did better than #####!"

0 D's
I should ask him.

3 F's
Wouldn't that be ironic?

88%
Not too bad.
Not an A though.

###### was upset.
She only got a 77%.

I wanted to ask him.
You think he'd be loud enough for me to hear.

But I saw his face.
That same stupid smile
As he looked down at his paper.

He probably got an A.

But I wanted to ask.

And I sat there,
staring at him
as ###### ranted to me
about her test score.

I wanted to walk up and ask him.
Once ###### stops ranting, I told myself.

She stoped,
But she was still sad.

Oh boy, self-conflict.

Just walk up and ask him!
But he's talking!
Wait until he's done then!
hE'S LITERARY RIGHT THERE.
It's just a test score!

What could go wron-

The bell rings.
And class ends.

Now my only option is to ask him after a weekend.
Why couldn't I have asked him on Friday?
