you chewed at your bottom lip as you repeatedly glance from the front board to the square clock placed on the wall.
just 6 more minutes until class was over, and then another class.
waiting for one class to end just for another to start was exhausting.
school, in general, is exhausting but at the same time, it's a happy place.
somewhere people can enjoy themselves, escape from home life, and hang with friends.
but some flaws with the number of bullies, the large number of random tests, and the teacher's attitudes.
school isn't what people exaggerate it to be all you have to do is listen to whatever the administrators say, keep a good schedule, and don't start drama.
your body jolts as the bell rings causing your eyes to snap open, you dozed off waiting for class to end. your eyes dart around the room trying to see if anyone saw your little moment.
thankfully no one did.
just as everyone stands up you grab the papers and textbooks from your table placing them into your bag.
the bell continues to ring loudly as you exit the classroom into the crowded hallways full of people talking over each other. you make your way to the bathroom passing the buzz kid you had beaten up earlier his face had some bruising from what you can make out his lip was busted he had purple marks around his eye and cheek and his nose was covered by bandages.
you don't remember doing that much damage.
you quickly slide into the doors of the bathroom since you only had a few minutes before you had to get to the next period. you place your bag on the floor and turn the sink on splashing cold water on your cheeks to wake up a little. you stare at your reflection in the mirror focusing on the bags under your eyes, the sound of the door opening pulls you from your eye examination.
you turn to look at who entered the bathroom it was 3 girls, didn't stop you though. turning back to the mirror looking at your face.
your hands reached for the paper towels to wipe off the dripping water from your cheeks the bathroom was silent until one of the girls spoke up.
"Holy shit!" one of them whisper yells making you look at her with a curious look. to your surprise, she was already looking right at you with a glint in her eyes. you raised your eyebrow as the other two girls looked at you.
"You're the one who fought those boys this morning!" she exclaimed a hard beaming smile stuck on her lips.
"Oh shit that's her?" the other girl questions with an astonished look.
"Yeah! she fucked them up, you should've been there." the first girl praises your actions.
you didn't expect people to say you're in the right or say it was cool, but it felt good like a good deed was done. sure you made a kid's nose bleed and gave him a black eye but you did it for Finney and Gwen, you stood up for them.
