Chapter 20 - TWENTY
- HAZEL -
I went to his class alright and submitted all my assignments to my lecturers after his period. My lecturers seemed rather pleased to see me with the complete assignments but told me to wait for a week for feedback.
That kept me on my toes but it’s only natural to follow protocol after skipping lectures. I would hate it if this reflects badly on my grade so for the meantime, patience is my middle name!
I sighed and stared ahead at the lady teaching. My mind has been everywhere else but on her and whatever she’s doing and that is seriously worrying but I think my mind is too stressed to pay attention to anything. Thankfully, this is the last period for the day and I’ll have two days of rest.
For now, I just have to try not to doze off and pretend to be following the things she says. It’s annoying but I don’t have a choice. My arm is resting on the edge of my seat and two fingers are supporting my head to stay straight. I checked the time on my phone and raised a brow, tiredly. We have two more minutes before this class is over yet it feels like forever.
By how fatigued I am, it’s pretty obvious that my eyes would come close any minute now if I don’t hold them up with pegs. I averted my gaze from the substitute teacher back to my phone. One more minute.
Get out already!! Who on earth waits till the last minute of their period is well spent?
I groaned. I thought substitute teachers are meant to be the interesting ones but this lady proved me wrong a million times in just the few minutes she had with us. A yawn left my lips and I brought my other hand in front of my mouth and formed a cone.
The only thing stopping me from walking out of this hall this moment are my recent assignments.
A wry smile formed on my lips as the teacher packed her things. She’s finally leaving! Yes! My heart danced. "I expect a presentation along with detailed definitions of the factors which oppose such views with the name of your sources in two weeks. Have a lovely weekend students." The substitute teacher said and walked out.
My fatigue died immediately when I heard that. Wait what?! She’s giving us something to do already?
