Ellie stepped into her first period English class and took a seat near the back. They were currently reading Ethan Frome. Ellie didn't mind reading but the book was one of the most boring things she had ever opened in her life just as their English teacher Mr. Kingsly was just about the most boring person she had ever met on the planet. She supposed the book suited him but that didn't make it any less painful to read it. Tossing her book down on the desk, Ellie took her chair and propped her head on her chin, preparing herself for yet another unbearably boring hour with Kingsly.

About twenty minutes into class, her head began to bob and sway as sleep called to her. Cracking her eyes open she noticed that at least a fourth of the class was already conked out and gave in, her eyes slipping fully closed.

Forty minutes later, the bell ringing pulled her back from slumberland. Slowly lifting her head, Ellie rubbed at her eyes and grabbed Ethan Frome off of her desk, shuffling out behind the rest of the zombie pack. Tossing the offending book back into her locker, she wondered why she had even bothered to bring it. Grabbing her math book and notebook, she headed off to second period math class. Kevin was already seated and she took the spot next to him. She was going to wish him good luck but he seemed to be busy concentrating on his notes so she sat down silently beside him and took out her pencil. Once she received her copy of the test, Ellie bent over the paper and began to work through the questions, her pencil scratching against the paper as she wrote out the answers to each quetion.
