This is the third chapter of the collab story between me and Nic (@FlaggleNerd) VStoryV "Come on Destiny, I want you to show more initiative than this, the problems haven't gotten any more difficult, and I know you can do them" I continue to stare down at the floor, which I have stared at for so long at this point that I can name every scuff and mark on it if I had to. Ms McRayton sighs as she moves on from my desk, still glancing back at me every once and a while. I look down at the failed test in front of me, knowing that I could pass the test if I had tried, but what's even the point of trying if all that gets me is bullying, if all it gets me is disappointment? The rest of the class is a blur, just like most days. Not the kind of blur where it comes by quickly and before you know it, it is over, not at all. It's more like watching a movie on extremely low volume, from 20 feet away, still having to sit through all of it. I could raise the volume or step closer, but what's the point of that when it's the same old movie everyday? The same old teacher, the same old questions, the same old students, the same old awful jokes that kids try to make, desperate for attention, because if they can't get attention from friends or family they have to get it from here. "Destiny, I'm serious about trying more, you can't just let your grades drop like this, this isn't the student I used to know, you used to care about grades but now? Before you know it you'll have to repeat this grade all over again next year." I nod as if I was listening, and try to look like I'm taking the advice seriously as I walk out of the classroom.
