Obeying Mrs. White [Completed]

Chapter eight: A Different Feeling

It was Monday morning, and I was exhausted.

I couldn't sleep last night and it was frustrating. The weekend seemed to drain the life right out of me.

Some nights I can't sleep though and even thought I would love to get hours and hours of sleep, I know that it won't happen.

I was just exhausted from not getting enough sleep.

Scarlett and Kyle never came. I got a text from them telling me the situation and I didn't think nothing of it as I just sent a text back to them saying that it was fine.

Sunday was just a lazy day for me. I never stepped foot out of the apartment because I didn't feel like doing anything.

Kaylee did come over to spend some time with me, but she left sooner than I wanted her to.

I just couldn't figure out where this exhaustion came from. Other than not getting enough sleep.

I barely made it to class on time as I was struggling to get there. Everything wasn't going my way and it was starting to make me mad.

I walked into the classroom and ignored everyone as I wasn't in the best mood. I sat down at the table where Kaylee was, and even though I didn't want to talk, I couldn't help but tell her hi.

She knew something was wrong cause she asked me if I was ok. I just shrugged as I really didn't know if I was ok.

I was just tired.

Mrs. White started teaching and even though I never fall asleep in classes, I did this time. I just happened to close my eyes for a moment but next thing I knew, Mrs. White was calling my name.

When I opened my eyes, she was standing in front of the table looking down at me. "Dakota, this is not a sleeping class." She looked pissed.

I sat up and nodded. "Yes, ma'am."

"See me after class." She walked away.

I looked over at Kaylee as she was staring at me with concern. I shook my head as I tried my best to stay awake and pay attention.

After class had ended, and not once did I fall asleep again, I got up and walked to the front of the room. I sat down at the table in front and laid my head on my arms. I felt like I could sleep forever at this moment. As a few moments went by, I heard Mrs. White and I shot my head up to look at her.

"What's wrong, Dakota?" She asks as she stands in front of the table and watches me.

I shrug. "I'm just tired."

"Did you stay up late last night?"

I shook my head. "No ma'am."

"What did you do yesterday?"

I stared at her for a moment. "Nothing. I stayed home and watched tv."

She nods as she stands there for a moment. "What did you do Saturday?"

"I went out with a friend." I stared at her for a moment. "Why?"

"I was just trying to figure out why you would be so tired." She stands there as I watch her.

"I didn't really sleep good this weekend for some reason, so that might be the problem."

She nods "Could be. I just don't want you to get into trouble for sleeping in my class, or in any class."

I nod as I understood. "Yes ma'am."

"Try to get to bed early each night, and no staying up late to watch Netflix." She stares at me sternly.
