Daydreaming Turns Into Detention
Nisa Suay SAYGILI
It was a stressful Wednesday morning at school , the sun was rising in the sky slowly and the first lesson was Math which was not good for Julia because she was felt sleepy enough to doze off . Her brain was about to head out to the dream world , she could barely open her eyes . Her teacher , Mrs . Bailey was asking her students some questions and expecting them to give her the answers to the questions she asked . The next question was ‘’ if 4x = 2y + 64 , then what is 2x-y ? ‘’ Julia was actually trying to solve the problem but her brain cells said ‘ nope ’ so she slowly started to doze off and when she opened her eyes again , she was on a fluffy unicorn and they were on a trip . While having their nice small trip , you could see the math problems flying through the sky . It almost looked like they were dancing . Julia chuckled slightly . When the fluffy unicorn got tired , they landed on an area which was so gorgeous , it was so mesmerizing . There were candies everywhere . The name of the candy was ‘’ Doctor Diego ’ s Math Solvers ’’. She thought that was a weird name to give to a candy but she didn ’ t think much about it until she realized that everything here was somehow about math . She felt like the universe was trying to give her a message so she petted the unicorn lovingly then started to explore this weird land . Meanwhile in the real world , Mrs . Bailey was choosing her next victim to answer the question because she couldn ’ t get any answers for the last question she asked and it had been 14 minutes so she was starting to get angry . She glanced at Julia and said ‘’ Julia it ’ s your turn to answer the question please answer it so we can carry on with another question . ‘’ she didn ’ t get any answer so she said ‘’ Julia ’’ again , this time a bit louder , but there was still no answer so she got angry and shouted ‘’ JULIA ! ‘’ Julia woke up from her small but nice daydream and blinked twice because everything was so blurry and then she said ‘’ What ? ‘’ Mrs . Bailey made an annoyed face and said ‘’ Answer the previous question , please . ‘’ Julia said ‘’ I ’ m sorry Mrs . Bailey I couldn ’ t find the answer . ‘’ this made Mrs . Bailey furious so she said “ Detention … if you are going to sleep in my class then at least know the answers , I ’ m really disappointed in you , I expected better from you . Now leave my class please .’’ with a serious tone . Julia stood up and went to the detention room and thought ‘ Well , that was not a good to start the morning but at least I can dream about that fluffy unicorn and the weird math land again .’ so she started to doze off again with a small smile on her face . The day was not bad at all after all …
