英文短篇故事（纽约）100 A Mean Guy in School (2)

 　　The mean guy¹ knocked² the book out of his hands. Then the mean guy took³ a seat⁴ near the back of the room. The skinny guy waited a minute. Then he got⁵ out of his seat. Head down, he hurried over to his book. He picked⁶ it up and hurried back to his seat. He didn't look around the room at all. The teacher walked into the classroom. The skinny guy felt better. His racing⁷ heart⁸ slowed down a beat⁹ or two. The mean guy suddenly¹⁰ stood¹¹ up. He turned around. He shouted at the guy sitting behind him. "Stop looking at me!" "Who's looking at you?" the guy grumbled¹². "You are!" said¹³ the mean guy. "You're looking at the back of my head. I can feel it! You're asking for trouble¹⁴!" The guy got up. He went to another desk. "Open your books to page 48," said the teacher.
