With a noisy
klunk-thud and shudder,
the vending machine pours

and a can of coffee
rolls into the chute below.

I bent down to
pick it up, 
a hand running through a dent
on the can as I hummed under my breath.


But seriously,
I wonder what's the deal
with that app.


I wasn't liking how irritating
this can't-delete function was.



But for now, I couldn't really do
anything except live with it,

but it was still bothersome.

It'd take up space in my phone!


The school bell chimed
for the end of free class,
now it was recess.

Sighing at the coffee cans
in my hand,

"To the clubroom,
I guess."



People began to flood
out of classrooms,
and the hallways went from
pindrop silence

to
bustling chaos

in an instant.


I despised the noise.



But then,
it happened.


A chime rang out
from my phone,
even though it was set
on silent.



Picking it out of
my pocket-- 


The screen was black,
no matter how many times
the ON button was pressed.


Then, it flashed up,
in a tacky yellow box.


A very familiar
notification.
