I jerked upright in my chair and quickly looked around. Classroom. Right. The student behind me was nudging my shoulder with a grin.
"Finally alive," he whispered.
Damn. I actually fell asleep during class.
A few students nearby were trying not to laugh, while others openly stared at me. Honestly, I couldn't even blame them. Back on Earth, I needed sleeping pills just to close my eyes for a few hours. Now I was apparently capable of dozing off in the middle of a lecture.
The meeting with the Queen must've drained the life out of me.
At the front of the room, Mrs. Vance sat behind her desk with one leg crossed over the other, silver hair cascading neatly over her shoulders as she watched me with visible annoyance.
The classroom itself had gone quiet. Awkward… yikes.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am," I said quickly. "I didn't mean to fall asleep."
"At least you apologized," Mrs. Vance replied. "Now then, where were we?"
