take it or leave it ((open))

This was a moment when Macmillan's occasional procrastination got to the best of him. He had an exam in half an hour, and here he was sitting on an out-of-order toilet looking through his notes and textbook at the last minute. There was no way he would let himself fail it. Twat would never let him live it down, and Macmillan did not want to give him that satisfaction.

The restroom smelled like ass and Myrtle could be thirsting over him at any moment, but he was going to enjoy the peculiar tranquility of it all while it still lasted.
