30 minutes

A stack of neatly stapled
homework sheets are placed 
in front of us, along with a pen.

Mei sits in the far right corner

 and I sit in the left.  

Miss Ingrid, the teachers
and our parents
stand at the front

and for a moment,

I think,

this feels like an execution.


But the thought doesn't linger
because Miss Ingrid pulls out a timer

and says,

"Are you ready girls?"

then sets it to 30 minutes.


The room fills with the sounds
of pens scribbling on paper.
