I should feel brave
I should be able to get up in front of the class.
I should be able to not worry about if I am talking too much.
Even though it was only a sentence.
Even though you were answering a question

Then later on, the teacher asked me a question. I answered what I had written down but everyone looked at me. Like I said something wrong, they were judging me.
Why are they judging me? Is it because I got the answer correct? Why am I so scared to speak?

Like you were a school mate.
