Every student sat slumped in their seats after another long, exhausting, boring day of school. Negativity was practically radiating off of their bodies as the lesson dragged on and on. The clock ticking by with the raging speed of a snail. The end of the day was no closer to them than the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
Okay. That might have been a slight exaggeration.
The bell gave a loud ring, signalling the end of the childrens' torment. Many of the younger student's were already shuffling around, cramming their notebooks and pencil cases into their bags while the older one's were still trying to shake the grogginess out of their heads and rub the sleep out of their eyes.
"And remember! Tomorrow is Valentine's Day so dress up nicely for the dance and have a wonderful afternoon!"
The children waved good bye to their homeroom teachers, flooding out into the hallways and down towards the entrance, all excited about the following day. Well... Save for a few.
