Detention after school was grueling. The teacher at the front of the room had collected all of our phones at the start of the hour, and as I never really did my homework, I had nothing to do but stare at the clock. Time passed so slowly I began to wonder if it was even moving at all. At one point I almost raised my hand to ask if the clock had broken.
There was the softest of taps on the door, so light the teacher didn't even look up. Had I not been so horribly bored, I probably would have missed it too.

He held up another hand as a signal to wait again, then flipped the sign. This side read:
BREATHE FOR YES
DO A BACKFLIP FOR NO
A few light laughs murmured through the room, and the teacher looked up just long enough to send each of us a nasty glare. I looked back over at Newt who was still beaming, rolled my eyes, and nodded. As if I even had a choice.
