I look around the lunchroom looking for a place to sit. I go over to an empty table, setting my books down. I sit down, staring at the block of paper with the words "Moby Dick" written on the cover. I have to finish this book by Monday, it's Thursday and i'm only on page 10. I hate reading, which is ironic cause it seems like thats the only good thing i'm good at in school. I take my phone out of my pocket to check my notifications in hope of hiding away in the internet..."no new notifications" I read. I sigh and put my phone back, staring back at my book. The day s almost done, i can get through this...my stomach growls, begging for anything. I ignore it and pick up my book, opening it and starting to read, hoping to lose reality once again.
I get startled when i hear the bell, lunch is over. I look at my page number.....15. How did i only get 5 pages read in an hour?....damnit. I get up and grab my things, heading to my class, math. I'm failing math, as well as every other class aside from english. The only reason i'm not failing that class is cause tests make up most of the grade. I get into math class, Mrs. Noll looks at me and sighs, i'm late....again. I go to my seat and sit down, I sit in the back with no one else..I get out my math journal and start doodling across some pages instead of paying attention. "Lucas." I hear Mrs. Noll say and so I look up in a slight panic. "Do you know the answer?" she says, knowing I have no idea what we're even doing. I stare at the board for a bit before shaking my head. I hear a small snicker go throughout the classroom before Mrs. Noll asks a different student, them of course knowing the answer.
