Everyday feels like hell, everyone always gossiping. So much drama, many of us are broken since the beginning but we dont show. Hiding under a happy mask, being the happiest, the sweetest, the funniest. Who would doubt them about their home life? Who?
I look at the clock of this classroom, geometry is hell for me. Tick-tack-tick-tack that sound always giving me anxiety. My breathing was already quick, felt like i was choking but I held it inside. No one should see, no one should. I tap my pen in morse code to my friend, in the other side of the room.

He responded with his pen saying:

I relaxed and continue this work, just being quiet as usual. I look back at the clock, my heart pounding loudly, i could hear it with my ears. The student next to me, taps my shoulder. I take off my headphones for a moment, having it rest on my neck for a bit.
"yes?" I say quietly, voice a little raspy.
"names jake right?" they say.
"yea, dont wear it out" I say.
They chuckled, before looking at me.
"names Eric, would you like meet me tomorrow at around 4 near the park??" they asked.
"s-sure" i stuttered out, wondering why did i stutter?
