After School

Agnes Reads sat at her desk bouncing her leg as the final seconds of class slipped by. Everyone else around her was likely anxious to finish the last class of the day and get on with their weekend, but she wasn’t so lucky. The bell rang, and her peers filtered out of the room as she slowly packed her bag. Shouts and conversation from the hallway were muffled as the door shut. She rose and approached the desk at the front of the room.
