You stand as close as possible to your desk, using it as a protective barrier, shielding you from the rest of the class. The noise of the classroom clock sounds louder with every passing second. It’s hypnotic ‘tick-tocks’ sound like a ticking time bomb getting ready to detonate at any moment. All you want to do is run far way, and crawl into a hole and hide, but you can’t because your entire body is frozen solid with fear. As you slowly…
