'I'M SUCH A DUMBASS TF!!!!!!!'


You internally scream, digging through your bag in poorly disguised panic at the realization that you might have forgotten your Math textbook. You keep rechecking everything, fingers dancing on the spines of each book in hopes that the book you're looking for will magically appear amidst your 4th search.

 Yet, a treacherous part of your brain knew that it was fruitless because you could, unfortunately, recall your study desk at home, and lying neatly on it is the textbook that's giving you a quiet heart attack.

You wanted to hit your head on your desk, but you can't afford attention when you're literally gambling on your luck for the teacher not to call on you right now. You stay quiet, anxiety welling up inside as you check the clock every five seconds while convincing yourself that:
