Gum is basically currency. In our school if you have the right amount of gum you can get anything you want. Like this morning for example, I gave Jacob one dollar for two pieces of Dr.Pepper gum. But if you have gum, you will be bombarded with people begging for gum with either the excuse of "I thought we were friends" or "C'mon I gave you some yesterday." Most of the time this won't work usually you will give something to get gum or someone will give it to you. It's just best not to ask sometimes. I'm just glad I have a friend who comes to school with a pack on him everyday or else I would be just another beggar.
