As he sat in his assigned seat behind the other teachers on the stage, Ari did his best not to look bored or even to doze off as Principal Matador began talking.
He often saw PD Emily's camera turn toward him, and didn't want to be caught making weird faces that would probably be spread online for posterity.
The principal welcomed the students and their families once more, then began droning on about the school year before going off on a tangent on a topic that Ari didn't care to listen to as he felt his brain cells begin to mold from boredom.
He just stared straight ahead, his eyes blank, since he couldn't even pull out his cellphone because the PD's camera was trained on the direction where he sat.
What was on the schedule again?
