The teacher is talking off in the distance and your wrist is sore from leaning your face on your hand, elbow on the desk and you’re broken and all you want to do is be at home eating cereal or cheese toasties watching Postman Pat in your gruts. Ring the bell, you bastards! You urge the forces that be, silently. Anyway, they did and it was off.
