Dante's Point of View:
I sit at my desk in my classroom grading a couple of my students papers before the school day can start.
While grading, I think to myself "I feel so lost I don't care about anything at the moment and I'm not even paying any attention at the moment".
I'm brought out of my mind when I hear someone say "Are you okay?".
I looked up to see one of my students; Sophie Woods.
I look at her a while before I stop grading and set my pen down before answering her question "Yes I am, why do you ask?".
"Because you look like a depressed person" she said.
"Is it obvious?" I asked.
"Yeah, Is there anything you like to do?" she asked.
"No, what about you? What do you like to do?" I asked her.
"I like to dance; I'm on the school's dance team" she replied.
"Oh that's nice. Maybe I should come see you dance sometimes" I say to her.
"You should" she tells me.
She smiles and then the bell rings for the first class of the day.
She tells me goodbye before leaving my classroom to go to her first class.
It's lunch time and the day is almost over for it to spring break.
I sit by myself at lunch; I don't even socialize with the other teachers cause I like to keep to myself.
I look up to see Sophie and the rest of the dance class come in and show off their performance to the students.
I saw that they started to get on top of the tables before they can perform.
By the end of the dance, all the students started to cheer and they got down from the tables.
I noticed that Sophie noticed me and smiled as I smiled back at her.
Lunch has ended and they day went by pretty fast and the start of spring break will soon begin.
