Silence is so freaking loud.

I woke up the next morning, strange headache as usual, I look for my phone under the sheets, it’s almost 9 in the morning, I have thirty minutes before my first class begin. I’m not quite familiar with the place yet, I rush out hopelessly to find my class before it’s too late, at last after running around in the same circle for about 40 minutes, I found it, I stand by the door, catching my breaths, after few seconds, I open the door, feeling like all the voices in the world has faded, everybody is staring, of course they are. “You’re late ... Mr...” I swallow in my throat, “Alex.. I’m sorry, I’m late, you see it’s my fir...” he cut me off before I can finish my explanation which obviously he doesn’t care about, “please have a seat” I take place at the nearest chair to me which is the only empty seat in the room anyway, slowly everyone eyes drifting away from me and back to the professor while he continue talking about what are we going to study in this semester in his course.
