~tornado warning~

10 2 3
                                    

Back against the wall
Sitting on hard hard ground
Trying to get a signal
To be able to talk to someone, anyone
Everyone all crammed together
In the hallways
Teachers talking
People playing on their phones
Looking at the weather
Time goes away
Sweating
Anxiety
Can't focus on any of those little app icons
Offline
No ads
No connection
I see a familiar face
A nice word,
Then over and done with
Write this conjugation down
Oh, there's the bell
Sit down
Take a practice test
It's only the second day of school
Timer goes up
Filling in the circles
Reading
Well then
Math problems
Can't think
Homework
Then sun
Don't wanna be here
Stress and unfamiliarity
Not quite shaken off yet
But the good part is,
The day isn't finished
Not for me

This is is something I wrote while at school while we were in fact under a tornado warning. We were alright, and it inspired me :).
