Daniel awoke with a start to the sudden realization he had been asleep in class. He wiped a bit of drool from his lip and glanced around the classroom, hoping no one had seen him. He sighed in relief to see that he had snuck in a whopping half hour nap while the class watched a recorded lecture. He slouched back in his desk, his eyelids heavy. He looked at all the disinterested faces. Jack, Raziya, Risuki, and Alexander were all feigning interest for the substitute teacher, but they were buried in their books or cell phones or their own la-la land. Arden, however, was furiously scrabbling down notes as if her life depended on it. Daniel shook his head and looked at the clock. Only 5 minutes until school got out and the gang could hang out. Daniel wondered which house they were actually gonna go to... They were still kids, however, and were inherently bad at planning. He sighed heavily and plopped his head on his desk, embracing his 5-minute torture.
