“That's cause you can't see much.” 

“Your right, I can't see much with that stench foggin' up the air.” 

“Class sit down and log onto the Backa.” 

“Yes, Tempas Fempho.” 

Later in the class when Fempho was talking about how to do this and what
happened when somebody did this Grimmet tapped Boshney on the shoulder. 


“Tang wants you.” 

When Boshney looked over he saw little people dancing around on Tang's
terminal singing 1-800-Sparksmellslikeshit. Yes he does, Oh yes he 
does. 1-800-Sparksmellslikeshit.” 

“How do you like it?” 

“I think it is horrible I mean what kind of music is that in the
background? It's horrid.” 

“Hey that's the best music.” 

“I think your mistakin' that music with some other kind of music.” 

“You really seem stupid not knowin' the good music.” 

“I'll let you say whatever you want when you are in a hole with the
horrid music.” 

“SHUTUP!!” 

“Tang don't shout in class.” 

“But it was Bosh...” 

“Don't blame others just because you yelled out. I want you here at 3221
sharp.” 

“But...” 

“No buts.” 

Boshney was feeling great after that. He thought nothing would bother
him after that. But like always he was dead wrong. 

Later that day Boshney had exercise. It would be cool but Boshney has
the mean Temo that believes in no fun and all work. 

As always they only get 5 minutes to get dressed (1/4 the regular time.)
And as always Boshney takes to long and has to do twice the running, 
pull-ups, pushups, etc. before getting the twenty second break. Today 
he is feeling really good. And at the end he thinks he did much better 
than usual. 

“For those of you who think you so good and that you are better than
everyone but a few your right. But for those of you that think your 
just ok you are way off because you are horrible. Everyone did either 
very good for his age or horrible.” After that speech Boshney was 
feeling mush better about himself. He was sure he had been one of the 
best if not the best. 

“Sign on everyone and then check your scores. If you got over 1500 then
you have to come down at 2200 S.T. Prin order.” 

“But Falf that's games time.” said one of the students. 

“You forgot to say sir. You got a 1490 but because of that outburst I
will increase it to a 1501. So your comin' at you game time.” He tapped 
a couple buttons and hi score on the screen changed to a 1501.” 

When Boshney saw the number on the screen he was surprised. “Sir I think
there was a mistake. My screen says 2000 but there is no way I got a 
2000 today.” 

“Well ya see you have become a beginner 1. In other words there is a
Temo in control of you and guess what I'm yours. 

“What? Why would I become a beginner 1?” 

“If a student does not wake up on time for 5 days in a month and he is
doing poorly in the attention games. Then he is declared unstable and 
he becomes a beginner 1 with the Temo of the class he does worst in as 
his controller. Because of that I take points off for waking late, 
being late to something, and causing somebody else to be late. Guess 
what you did all three this morning.” 

“Sir how can I stop being a beginner 1?” 

“Two things now your to call me dada and you can only stop being a
beginner 1 by me saying you have improved enough to be in control of 
yourself or by becoming a Inter. Right now it doesn't seem like either 
will be happening any time soon.” 

After that he was the laughing stock of the beft. 

At lunch because of his new position Boshney had to sit at the en of the
table for the friendless people. Of course the end of the table is even 
worse. If you are at the end of the table not even the friendless kids 
talk to you and the friendless table is always the last table to get 
food so they always end up with the nasty and healthy food without a 
snack or anything. The food was nastier than Boshney could have even 
imagined. 

After he was finished he was still hungry but all the food was already
gone. He knew that would not be good because he always noticed hunger 
when he was just listening and watching which was all he would be doing 
for three periods after lunch. 

He always watched a Led called Lazzerth during the first free time. He
just loved how Lazzerth controlled the kids under him. Lazzerth could 
get much done in one day. Usually Lazzerth got the kids under him up to 
Leds very quickly. The kids seemed to worship Lazzerth basically. One 
group of five that was about to be promoted had, as a last thing to do 
while being Inters, built a huge palace in honor of Lazzerth. 

Lazzerth also was cool because he had control for wurmans that are like
five wurms put together. There are two wurms for legs, two for arms, 
and one wurm for neck and head. They are taller than the tallest trees, 
stronger than any machine, and louder than all the other animal. No 
Leds dared fight the wurmans. ‘If only I was an Inter under him.' 
Boshney would think ‘But then of course I would ruin his record of 
sending everyone that became an Inter under him to become a Led in less 
than two months.' 

That day Lazzerth was doing extremely well. He got two other Leds to put
their selves and their Inters under his control. Then using the new 
people he took over three other Leds that before had been thought to be 
the best fighters. So once again Lazzerth had a huge group of people 
under him. Lazzerth would have had everybody under him had it not been 
for the fact that the Temos would place the Leds somewhere else in the 
world to start again the next day. Lazzerth owned much of the world and 
had great buildings and cities. But never would he allow anybody to 
make a building greater than the one that had been built by his Inters. 


‘If only I was like him, smart and great. I would own so much of the
Backa that the Temos would have to make the Backa bigger and then I 
would just conquer the new land. Of course that will never happen.' 

“Lazzerth what should I do?” 

“I don't care. Build a monument in honor of your great fighters that
have died.” 

“But they don't honor their dead partners.” “Make ‘em. Tell them how
they should be honored more than those that don't go to the battles and 
die in natural ways. Show them that you honor them. Show them that you 
want them to honor them. Show them that they should help out in the 
wars if they want great honor.” 

“But...” 

“I will make you do the dirty and the hard work. I won't give you
brakes. It will just be work, work, and more work if you do not listen 
to me.” 

“Sorry.” 

“Call me sir. I don't care what you think of me but don't forget to call
me sir.” 

“Sorry sir. So you will be fine if I call you anything I want?” 

“No I didn't say I would be fine but I can still ignore it and I said
think anyway. The only one who I might not ignore what you say is the 
kid that always sits over there. You would be the best judge, right 
kid?” 

“Wha?” 

“Don't think I don't notice you. If after all the time you've watched me
I think would you would know that I knew about you. Haven't you always 
gotten a clear view of the holo?” 

“What would I know I'm only a beginner 1. What do beginner 1's is know?”
replied Boshney with a lot of exaggeration. 

“Man, you must be the only one for many years to be a beginner 1. How
long you been one?” 

“Since 2446 exactly.” 

“Which rule.” 

“Wake up late and bad attention.” 

“How can you do bad at the attention? They are so easy.” 

“I don't even try. Lucky for me I get Falf as the Temo in control of me.
There is no chance for me to stop being one for a long, long time,” 
said Boshney with even more exaggeration. 

“To bad. Oh yeah, just to tell ya so that you know Temos, no matter,
what can only take two of your free times. Choose the open one wisely.” 


“I'm gonna watch you.” 

“Figures .“ 

In only three days later Boshney's scores had dropped to the worst ever
and it seemed that his scores would never go up. 

Every day now he had to spend games time at exercise. During the 2nd
free time he would be with his exercise Temo again. Then in the 3rd 
free time he would be with a different class teacher to redo his work. 
He was the only beginner 1 in the school. In all the years that the 
school had existed only 25 had been beginner 1 and he was much worse 
than any of them. 

Then in survival class he was stuck with Lash, his Nosh. Of course
Boshney did horrible causing Lash's average to get much worse. 

“Boshney if you don't get better my grades will become horrible. 

“Do I care? You don't have the evil teacher. I don't care what happens
I'm fine just how I am and I don't care about you or your stupid 
grades. Bug off. 

“Oh yeah, I forgot. Ah well to bad. HaHa! You got the mean Temo and you
spend three periods every day with him. HaHa! Now anyway I'm gonna get 
real pissed if you don't start doin' better.” 

“With all this new work I am late to about 30% of my classes. This is a
living hell for me and what do you do? You just laugh and laugh and 
laugh.” 

“What do you expect me to do? I'm just...” 

“Just what? A beginner? I know and I never expected you to understand. I
just want you to get off my back.” 

“Oh sorry mister I have it so hard and everyone else has it easy.” 

“Whatever. And you wonder why you have no friends. Gotta go hope I never
see ya again. I got strategy now. No wait, dinner. See ya later.” 

“It's only 1647 now.” 

“Oh I'm almost late gotta go.” 

“Idiot.” 

As you can tell Boshney had completely lost his sense of time. Sometimes
after breakfast he thought it was almost lights out time. But as always 
the teachers don't seem to care. He would just have more things piled 
on him to do and then he would get even worse. His scores after being 
beginner 1 for 1 week had become between 203056 and 256381 more than 6x 
the old lowest score. Always in survival Boshney was late, tired, and 
mind dead. 

On the 1st day of the 7th   week Lash knew he would be a beginner 1 soon
if Boshney didn't improve. He tricked the Prin into letting him have 
the same schedule as Boshney by saying he would tell the Prin about the 
way that the Temos did stuff. The Prin of course agreed to the idea and 
gave him a copy of the schedule, a note, and a device that does an 
interesting thing.
