I’m curious about that last “Gah!” and wondering if it fits into your clues somehow… Entertaining little story!

I like this.

Fun stab at the challenge. The names are the only tricky ones, but I’d guess Apey as a nickname, Bernie as a pet, and Larry as a friend. Just a guess.

I figured out all the clues.. apey the pest i hope a monkey perhaps? lol. cool school setting story and flowed very well.

Gah is the nickename..

I wondered for a moment if I was reading a clip from reality! This was excellent!

no, the Gah is just an expression.
And THX pegged the names perfectly! I was coined Apey by my cousins when we were little. :)

THX is good that way. He guessed all 10 of mine!!
psst… I just noticed you misspelled “scavenger” in your title.

LOL ! I fixed it! I never noticed! Our brains are funny like that sometimes. Usually spelling errors bug me to no end…

No, you know what it is? This happens to me all the time – there’s no spell-check when you’re writing the title so you just type it in as usual. You should see the hilarities I’ve come up with!

I remember many science classes just like this. Good job getting me to dredge up THOSE memories :) I haven’t been reading the comments until after I guess, so here goes:

1-1981, 2-Bernie, 3-Indianapolis, 4-Larry, 5-Secret Garden, 6-Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now, 7-22, 8-Apey, 9-I got nuthin’, 10-Big Bang Theory

Great job Melia! 9 is science, though I like many subjects equally. I chose this one for the challenge.
