Answer:
"Not to mention finals are coming up! You're so desperate to get out of here, but you realize if you don't pass you have to repeat this year, right? You won't be out there with your friends graduating. You'll be in here for another year, pretending to pay attention when you're clearly on your phone." I stiffen, and stand up a little straighter. I guess I never really thought about it like that. School has always been so simple, I just thought I'd lift my grades a week before the end of the semester like usual. The thought of having to repeat high school made me shiver. At that moment, I wish I had been more serious with my studies.
