It was her giggling（咯咯笑） that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn't all that

I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one 53 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for 54 .
