“Cindy, can you turn on the lights and return up the projector for me please?” Miss Vicksen requested.

The fluorescent lights of the classroom flickered to life, as the gentle whirring of the projector screen began to mumble upwards from behind Miss Vicksen.
“Okay, now who can tell me a reason for the protagonist’s change in view towards the end of the video?” Olivia prompted.
Students’ eyes strained in the bright light’s return, many remaining closed, just wanting the day to come to an end.
“…Anyone?”
Her question again fell on deaf ears, with no hands being raised.
“Class, I can tell you that the time isn’t going to go very fast if you don’t participate, and no one’s going anywhere until this lesson is done!” Miss Vicksen said with a bit of bite, seeing a few heads perk up in the back.
She at least had their attention now, as everyone sat upright in their desks, staring straight forward. But that was about it, the room was still, no one uttered a word, and the only noise was the projector screen’s machinery rolling along.
“Okay! Well I guess I’ll just stand here until I get an answer!” Miss Vicksen said frustrated, impatiently tapping her foot.
The class seemed fine with her resolution, some even beginning to smile back, quietly laughing to one another. This only made Olivia reach her boiling point faster, immediately demanding a response from her disobedient class.
“What is up with you guys today!?”
Struggling to respond through his own stifled laughter, Derek decided to give his teacher a cheeky hint.
“No Miss V, I think there’s something up with you!”
