her friend Jessica's homework.
"That's the wrong answer."
"How can it be wrong?"
Jessica snapped in response,
"I've checked it five times."
"It could be scalene.
You assumed isosceles."
Amy said, shrugging.
"How do you solve that?!"
Jessica moaned, "I can't do
this geometry!"
"You might not have to.
Why not challenge the teacher?"
Amy suggested.
"What are you saying?"
Jessica asked, cautiously.
She studied Amy.
"You're a good student.
You've always had perfect grades.
A B would shame you.
"What gives him that right?
Why let Dr. Prinz shame you?
Fight for your honor!"
Jessica recoiled.
"I couldn't fight a baby.
How could I hit prince?"
"That's not a problem.
Pens beat the sword anyway.
Just have a write-off."
Jessica brightened.
"I'll demand a Haiku-off
to save my honor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Save honor for what?
