New Changed World

The cicadas chirped from outside the classroom window.

They lazily clung to the trees, playing their intrinsic, yet undoubtedly annoying summertime songs. But no matter how hard they tried, no matter how hard they screeched, shrilled or squeaked, they couldn’t break through the chaos and noise that engulfed this classroom.

I sighed dejectedly, the obvious annoyance rising from deep within my throat.

While I originally wanted to zone out using their particularly persistent insect anthem, it was becoming clearer and clearer that the noise this damn class made was overpowering their quiet melody.

Well, although I complain, it was natural to be this noisy, after all, it was currently a free period, more so, it was the last class of the day, or rather, the last class of the school year. It was quite normal for there to be so much excitement and anticipation looming within a room filled with high schoolers.

It was just that...I was seriously regretting the fact that I forgot my headphones today.
