I was jolted awake when the bell rang and by the time I gathered myself I was the only one left in the classroom. I looked up sleepy but embarrassed. Not even the teacher was in the room. I heard footsteps walking back towards the room. I quickly gathered my things and stood up as my 4th period teacher, Mrs. Reeves, walked in. I could tell she was surprised that I was in her based on her initial reaction but she tried not to let it show as her face softened. " I'm sorry." She said smiling. "I thought everyone had already left. " Her voice was surprisingly calming and her smiling expression gave her relief in exchange for anxiety. "No I'm sorry I was just gathering my things. " Nicole said rushing out of the classroom. She rushed to the bus ramp only to see the buses had already left. She reluctantly pulled out her phone and dialed her moms number. She always hated when this happens her parents worked so hard and now they would have to add picking her up to the list. It rang a few times and then a women answer. "Hello?" "Hey mom. I-I-I'm sorry I missed the bus again." She heard a quiet sigh and few moments of silence. "Okay. I'll pick you up in about 40 minutes can you last that long?" "Yes thank you so much mom I love you bye. ". Nicole went to the car line to find that most had already disbanded from the jumbled crowd and went home. She sat on a bench close to the line and laid back in wait.
