Eight Hours

Time – 1:00 A.M

Day – The Judgment day

Place – My Bedroom

A sheer silence along with an annoying frequency was observed with the periodical ticking of the clock. It was the perfect pin drop silence, which my school teachers craved for and could never get it, unless the Principle was on round. Well my head was dug deepen into the notes for the past 2 hours, 15 minutes, 53 seconds and counting.

My eyes were definitely on the notes but my mind had some other intentions, it was somewhere else imaging stuff up like the relaxation on my face after coming out of the exam hall. Oh yes, it felt so pain relieving and so real at that very moment. I wished that time could come up right now.

Suddenly then my mind took a sharp U turn (Yes!!! even sharper than a butcher knife) ; bringing back those happy, joyful memories to the front, showing me, how I wasted that much time where I could have studied and should now be sleeping like a baby. But no!!! I had to play call of duty, lift dumbbells, watch movies, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Then with a slap to my head, I came to my senses and told myself that there is going to be a freaking exam tomorrow and I also checked the clock with the slightest of eye contact, I was left stunned, seeing the clock laughing at me showing the perfect 2:00 A.M.

A very disturbing thought came to my mind at that very moment, it was like this,

“Am I too slow to learn stuff up, do I have some brain problem like dyslexia?”

Then I immediately said with proud “Nah!!!! The clock is ticking too fast.”

With just 7 hours left to deadline and 7 monstrous, nerve breaking chapters were left. Yeah simple right, A chapter in an hour, so simple and easy, a child could do that( what? you thought that a child could do 7 chapters in 7 hours; no,no,no I was saying 7 divided by 7 equals to 1, this a child could do that.)

Enough jokes said, I took a long breath and started shuffling through pages. With every second passing by, TEMPERATURE, FORCE, DENSITY, MASS, VOLUME were increasing (hey it’s my article I can include whatever I want, so just keep reading alright.) TENSION, PRESSURE AND STRESS were nowhere to be seen( again it’s my article, I can write whatever I want, If anyone has any problems with this, he/she/any other kind can write their own stuff up).

Suddenly from nowhere a loud, irritating sound came, which was so annoying it can’t be explained in words. I realized I had been asleep with my books in my hand and spectacles still on face and now I just had to see the clock to realize how many time my alarm had snoozed, and degree of trouble would be determined by that too. I can’t tell you how much courage is required to see time at that very moment, but still I had to do it. It almost made me sleep again after I saw the time, I said some good things like teddy bear, rainbow, apple pie, panda, okay the truth I was kicking myself and saying swears.

IT WAS 8:15 A.M
