"Amadi, could you please answer the question on the board?"

Amadi jolted awake from the chorus of laughter that followed. Oh crap! I fell in asleep again!

"Yes mom, you hopeless child! Look, you need to come home now and help me clean up the house, we're having a guest come over tomorrow." She said.

"What guest? Mom, you never told me about this, Hunter was supposed to be coming over today and-"

Amadi sighed. "Mom wants me home. Gotta go."
