Everyone loves the sassy teacher

Today in my Novela y Cine class, Ángel was making sure everyone had bought their books so they could read them and write the essay (I finished that like 2 weeks ago WUT lulawk)... and one kid was like 'I went to the library but they didn't have it..' and Ángel said 'Well don't go to the library! You have to buy it, mark it up, make notes, fold over pages!! Go to a store and buy it!'

Now, most people in this class know that they're not going to read the book they have to, and will somehow bullshit a 6 page paper in Spanish... I unfortunately do not have that 'talent', and so I bought and read my whole book (it was super short anyway), and wrote the essay.. But anyway, since this kid knew he wouldn't read the book, he didn't want to buy it.. so he made up some excuse and said: (this is all in Spanish by the way)

'Yeah, but that's, what, like ten euros?'

WRONG THING TO SAY.

Ángel was like 'OH SO TRAVELING TO OTHER COUNTRIES EVERY WEEKEND IS SOOOO CHEAP BUT 10 EUROS IS TOO MUCH FOR A BOOK. OR GOING OUT EVERY TO PARTY AND BUY ALCOHOL IS SO CHEAP BUT 10 EUROS IS TOO MUCH.' (this is in a jokingly angry but still sort of annoyed tone, btw.. he wasn't yelling or anything..)

Then Ángel takes out his copy of the book and there's a big 5€ sign on it and he says LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT WHAT THIS SAYS. CINCO EUROS.

And then the best part-

'CINCO (fucking) EUROS!' 

Except it was really funny because he said the PALABROTA really quietly and off to the side, but it was such a marked difference from his tone before that everyone knew what he'd said.

And then everyone laughed and he said something like WE DONT TALK ABOUT THIS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

hehehe
