Here and Now

2

My eyes are fixated at a point on the board in front of me. It's a strategically chosen position because it gives the impression of me concentrating solely on what is the teacher droning about.

He's talking about the ages old saga of love and tradegy- Romeo and Juliet. What a freaking cliche this class is.

Well what more could I accept from a standard English class? Apparently nothing.

I was almost close to falling off from my chair due to the sleepiness that was overpowering me and then...
the bell rang.

"Go my dear children. Thee destiny awaits , for love so pure can never be otherwise expressed." 

I ran from the class like my ass was on fire. I am pretty sure Mr. Wells , our English teacher thought I was running towards my potential Romeo. This guy could literally drop romance into anything he talked about. I think he simply chose to overlook the way my generation practiced this never ending love in a very different way.
