2nd day of school, 2nd day of torture

So today should have started like any other day, except when you have a class like mine. there are a total of four boys out of sixteen students in our class (which is the entirety of 8th grade) so there is no place we can go where there isn't a gossip central, the kinds of conversations we overhear are the most HORENDUS TOPICS KNOWN TO MANKIND. It's like Chinese water torture but with talking. also, btw what is all this talk about a new variant of covid? I'm so confused. well anyway I've completed my requirements and I'm going to a well-earned sleep.
