Everybody hates Tuesdays

Has it been mentioned that irony has a strange way of screwing Albert from behind? Yes, if you do remember, it has been mentioned. Tuesday was a classic case of cruel irony.
For starters, it all happened in Catholic High, the school he was only whiskers away from being transfered to. Owh, the setting was "perfect".
He put his all into this one, more effort than he had ever put into anything. They won the coin toss this time. Maybe they shouldnt have, but they did, and they lost, cruel irony number 1.
In the quarantine period, Shereena asked him what was "globalization"? The topic by the way, was "globalization contributes to the development of third world countries". And she didnt know what was globalization, when her scripts were done for her(guess who), and the rationale was for her to be able to have more time to do research. What is globalization. Cruel irony number 2.
When it was Albert's turn to speak(he was third speaker), everyone expected the same old boring guy who nobody could understand because he used to many big words and had no X factor. Instead, the Albert that day was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. With an almost "I dont give a shit" attitude(well when you're in a sinking boat, hungry, pissed, flustered, dissapointed and insanely nervous, you flip), he became quite possibly the most "unobedient" as Tess puts it, debater who ever competed in Wira cup. One of the teacher's said that he was too "revolutionary" for the Wira Cup. Reality check over here-->He was crude, disrespectful(also known as witty), arrogant(or pompous as the third speaker from the opposing team puts it) and had absolute disregard for the rules. Well the crowd no doubt sounded their appreciation, one particular teacher laughed like she was watching an Adam Sandler movie. Adam Sandler movies are dumb. So whether the crowd was laughing with him or at him is quite open to debate.
Facial expressions-check. Non-reading from cue cards-check. Moving a little as he was advised to do after his debut the last time round-check(maybe a little over done). He remembered shouting towards the ending of his speech, as he was told to be more forceful-check(whether you can be funny and forceful is doubtful). And yet, even with his improved performance(depends on your definition of improved), they lost. Cruel irony no 3-check.
He is still debating you know. Time has already run out. But he wanted to win, BADLY. The timekeeper isnt happy. The chairperson is yelling "excuse me!!". The SU chief adjudicator looks more than ever determined to condemn SS17 to their fate(she probably thought that SU should have been there instead of SS17). But Albert cant get it out of his system. He needs to rebutt their points. Thats what he is supposed to do. If anything at all, he is suppose to save the day. Even if time's up. The crowd are still having a good time, he is very funny they think.

Its over.

But hey, at least he wasnt boring.
