So context:

A buddy and I were sitting in a study hall waiting for the bell to ring, mindlessly doing work and occasional chit chat here and there. After mulling over some work the bell rings, and I see him continuing to do his work with his earbuds in. I think to myself that 1) he probably still heard it because I’ve had earbuds in before and have heard the bell and 2) if he is aware I don’t want to annoy him while he is doing some last-minute work.

20 minutes later he shows up to class and our teacher is a stickler for tardiness and so he was sent to the dean to get a note and hence a detention (were in highschool). He talked to me later and was pissed because he thought I should’ve alerted him when I didn’t know I needed to...
