wearing a dark suit paired with a
gorilla mask.
The bus arrived, and the stu-
dents fell silent as they filed in.
Gorilla boy sat down next to me.
With the camera focused on my
face, S awkwardly pulled out my
cell phone. Then I felt an arm
around my shoulder: t was goril-
la boy.
"Want to get a picture?" he
asked, motioning with his other
hand to my phone. "Take a pic-
ture!"
So S put my phone in camera
mode and took apicture with him
while everyone else giggled quiet-
ly. For the rest of the ride, gorilla
boy was filmed reading the news
and chatting with another pas
senger. At the end of their dee:
conversation, they embraced.Th

or a professor's office. He didn't.

he couldn't possibly be rush-
