Never had I ever imagined myself , even in my dreams and you should know that I have extremely imaginative dreams of zombies , earthquakes and even sometimes even about my school.
However, I had never even day dreamed about a day when I would be listening to a lecture on a geography topic ,while sitting on the soft bed, with my favorite blanket covering my body to protect me from the chilly air of the fan and a tablet in my hand with my friend and teacher in it. Well, like not literally, for I would require magical powers, and even though my name means magic , I don't have any powers .Studying comfortably would be the perfect word to use.
But it was the word I would have used a month ago. Because right now, it was almost the opposite of it. , For as the time goes on so does the thrill and excitement for all now I wish for is for my school to reopen soon. With the chat functions disabled by our teachers,who said that it was 'an unnecessary distraction for us' as we would continuously chat without bothering about our lessons. Today was one of those days when I, Magie, wanted to break rules for once in my entire school life. One experience was enough for me to brag about in my later years.
I didn't want to listen to the geography lecture, I just wanted to do something else. I didn't know what but I just wanted to. With my sister sitting nearby humming songs rather loudly, just to tease and annoy me, I decided to do the same but began singing instead of humming and soon after a minute it wasn't enough for me and I wanted to dance too. I contemplated about it for a minute, and then convinced myself to dance during the lecture, because honestly 'No one would know'.
In a hurry, I let go of my tablet and it landed in a weird position. Ignoring it, I continued dancing which I enjoyed thoroughly. The class was still going on, I knew that because of the high volume. But strangely after sometime the noise stopped. Thinking that the class had ended, I continued dancing. But wait , then I began hearing echo of my singing and also some muffled laughs. Well, that was quite unusual right? I stopped dancing and the sound of the laughs increased, but there was no one in the room except me. My sister might have moved out of the room the moment I started singing for she believed that I had a terrible voice, and that was correct because she wasn't in the room.
A thought flashed in my mind. I went towards my bed where I had placed my tablet and hoped that my thoughts were wrong. What I saw made my eyes go wide and left me shocked. Somehow in my hurry, I had unmuted myself and also the camera was switched on. Before I could leave the class, my teacher appeared on the screen, who was failing miserably at hiding her anger, laughter and surprise.
A weird mix of emotions. But life is weird sometimes. And this is coming from a first time rulebreaker.
