Sample Post: There was still twenty minutes left of class but it felt like eternity to a certain red haired girl that was sitting in the middle of the classroom scribbling away in her notebook. The teacher was having a boring speech about the amazing comet that was going to pass by in a couple of days for the umpteenth time that week. The girl was just as excited to witness the comet but the way the science reminded them every single day was getting on her nerves. She wanted to excuse herself in order to escape this torment but decided against it since she didn't want the entire classes' eyes on her. She wasn't necessary shy, she just didn't like drawing attention.
Sighing light, she began to glance around the room to see that everyone else was tired of hearing the teacher speak and were even falling asleep on their desks. The first ones to pass out from boredom were the jocks, she was pretty sure they didn't have a single brain stem in their head from the way the stared off into space before crashing out. Next her eyes fell on the popular girls that were texting away on their cell phones and weren't even trying to hide it. Guess there wasn't any point in doing that since the teacher was blinded by the comet talk that he rarely noticed anything the students did. As she continued to look around, she noticed that everyone was pretty much texting, sleeping, or drawing on their notebooks without a care in the world. 'At least I'm not the only one scribbling.' Thought the girl as she returned to staring at her own notebook that had small sketches of stars on it.
Suddenly the school bell rang loudly and startled everyone in the class that weren't paying any attention to the time. Finally they were released from the evil torment! All of the students quickly packed their belongings and darted towards the door in order to escape from the science teacher. "Mrs. Andres, may I have a word with you please?" The red head glanced up from her bag towards the teacher and nodded as she made her way towards his desk. "Can we make this quick, I got to make it to my job." She wasn't in the mood to have a long talk with the teacher, even if she loved science as much as him, the talks were always just too boring. Clearing his throat the teacher spoke, "Yes I know. I just wanted to make sure that you have everything ready for the presentation on Friday. The club President has been busy with work as well so he asked if I could double check on you." Sighing for the thousandth time that day, Catherine Andres nodded and even gave the teacher a copy of the presentation. "I know, no need to baby sit me." With that said, the girl walked out of the class and head straight for work at the café in the city.
