Curls

1 {teaser}

I shoved my curls into a ponytail, hating the way they hung in my face; distracting me from my still incomplete task I needed to finish.

The clock against the white wall ticked annoyingly, reminding me as seconds bled into minutes, and my test time leaked through my fingers.

I was the only one testing, I have been for the past 30 minutes.

I finished the last equation quickly and circled my answer, handing in my test before the bell rang.

Students rushed out the room as I gathered my things, eager to get home, but not in a rush.

My pony tail loosened, so I tugged it out and attempted to re-do it, only to have the rubber band pop against my palm.

Fuck.
