Kiara’s head lolled back as she stared at the flickering fluorescent lights. One hundred thirty-seven. There are One hundred thirty-seven ceiling tiles in this room. She rocked forward and blew out a breath. Her fingers traced the carvings on the smooth wood in front of her.
The seconds ticked by, each moment echoing in her mind. She tried to focus on the repeating sound, wishing it would drown out his words.
She was tired of him regaling her with his tales. They weren’t all that spectacular anyway. Stupid English teacher. No one wants to hear about double negatives.
