Boring Class But Saved By the Bell!

Clock ticking like crazy while my teacher is explaining Scribbling on my paper during the time that is remaining. Watching the clock religiously as if time would speed up the teacher takes a sip from his big blue coffee cup. Due to his monotony I have no idea what hes speaking about. as he writes on the white board I try to tune him out. Interrupted while thinking about what lunch is today my teacher asks about the topic and if I have anything to say. He stares at me rudely as a smirk spreads on his face I know hes secretly excited that he gets to put me in my place. I stutter as I try to remember what exactly he was asking I wouldn't be in this dilemma if I was good at multitasking. Press my lips together and hope the bell will ring but I feel as helpless as a baby bird with a broken wing. Maybe my facial expression will make the teacher think I'm pondering even though he knows this whole time my mind has been wandering. Teacher bows his head in complete and utter frustration I knot my eyebrows together in false concentration. The teacher clears his throat but its not heard very well because at this moment I have been saved by the bell!
