It is said "you should not judge a book by it's cover". This is used to mean that you should get to know someone before judging them. A wide reaching idea — didn't Martin Luther King say something similar in his "I have a dream" speech. It is a common mistake, however, to think that this means "there is more to some one than meets the eye". This is usually not true.
"Today, you will work with the person next you."
Unfortunately, the boy sat next to me is Kobe.
"Let's work together, ok?"
…Why did he say that as if I have a choice?
Kobe wears glasses and his voice is so slow it's like he's got learning disabilities.
"Hang in there, Hitoshi!" Someone sat behind me said.
That's right. One thing that I could thank Kobe for is the popularity I gained from dealing with him. However, I didn't ask for or want that.
"The task involves drawing and writing. You must…"
The teacher continued to explain the details of the task.
"I'll do the drawing. I'm good at that."
I, who learned art from my father and sister and practiced various forms of art a very young age, did not say this. The one who said this is Kobe, who struggled to draw a straight line with a ruler. However, I'm annoyed by the comment so much as the person saying it.
If this guy were a book, there would only be a cover.
