Aw, poor Toby having his questions stifled!

Sometimes I'd volunteer, but often... well, other people knew it too, so why raise my hand? If no one else did then sometimes I would.

And I gave him absolutely the correct answer and then some and from then on he loved me. XD

You could sort of see Toby fuming in place, little stink-waves of hate rising off his head

I'm a little bit in love with Toby. I'm a lot in love with this entry.
