On the last day of school for the year, it’s every person for themselves. The
teachers have given up at this point. They’ve done all they can do—we will
either graduate or we won’t. There is no such thing as detention anymore or
failing an assignment that’s worth half your grade.
It’s all behind us now. We just have to sit through the boredom of a
nothing school day. Funny how the only day of the year we’re not expected
to use our brains is when people get the most creative.
Some guy in the room across the hall starts belching in Latin—amo,
amare, amavi, amatum—and even my boomer English teacher is laughing
along with everyone else here. I’d be laughing, too, if I wasn’t so hungry.
This is my last class before lunch.
Fourteen minutes.
I just have to get through fourteen more minutes, and then I can eat. Who
knew being this bored out of your goddamn mind would give you such a
raging appetite?
For the next fourteen minutes, I focus on playing solitaire on my phone
instead of on my gurgling gut, and I only lose every time, so my pristine
record still stands.
Finally, the fifth-period bell buzzes overhead, but I’ve officially ventured
into hangry territory now, and I practically run to the cafeteria. As fast as I
can, anyway, with so many bodies crowding the halls. It’s the last day of
school—more people should be skipping out early. But I have to weave my
way around people and accidentally bump into some girl with a “teacher’s
aide” badge hanging from a lanyard.
“Hey!” she squeals and grabs me by the elbow. “No running in the halls!”
“I wasn’t running.” My voice comes out breathy, which is not helping. I
read the name on her badge. “Tiffany…hi. Can you please let go of me?”
She doesn’t. This has to be in violation of at least seven different student
codes of conduct. She’s a walking hypocrisy.
“Promise you won’t run again,” she says. “You’re a danger to yourself and
others.”
“This is the last day of school—” I start, but she cuts me off.
“The rules still apply!”
For fuck’s sake. I’m getting lightheaded now. I’m a senior. I should be able
to stand up to this freshman goody-goody with something to prove. But all I
get out is a weak, “I promise I won’t run again.”
She gives me a smug little smile and removes her iron grip from my arm.
And I immediately take off in a jog. Technically not running! Tiffany’s
shrieks from behind me apparently disagree. I grin.
