Juliette sat restlessly in her chair, begging the school bell to ring.
"Oh, please let this day end!" she thought to herself, tapping her foot against the old blue carpets of room B52. Boredom had become Juliette's default state of mind lately, and well she knew it. How she longed for some sort of excitement! Some spark in her life. A reason to get out of bed in the mornings.
"Juliette!! Are you paying attention?"
Juliette flinched, widening her deep auburn eyes in fright.
"Ummm... Um, yes... Of course, Mrs. Craven..." she stammered. "I'm already working through the textbook exercises..."
"Right. Just make sure you listen as well. This is vital information, Juliette, you cannot afford to miss this."
"Yes, Mrs. Craven..." Juliette sighed. On and on it went. School, homework, her job at the local fabric outlet. She saw her school friends sometimes for coffee or a movie, but what she really wanted... She didn't quite know. An unspoken longing for something more. More than this...
