The day dragged on endlessly for Noah. It was one of those afternoons where time seemed to stretch.
The last lesson felt like background noise since he already knew all the material by heart.
He wasn't sitting next to Aiden, who usually kept him entertained with his goofy antics, nor was he near the school's "cold beauty," whose silent presence, and alluring beauty could have at least given him something to admire.
Instead, he was left alone with his thoughts and his phone which he seemingly hid from the teacher. Although he knew that the teacher knew that he was using it, but didn't say anything due to his recent grade in the exam.
Scrolling through social media, Noah found himself watching mukbang videos—people eating absurdly large portions of food in front of the camera.
The video he clicked on had an astounding 15 million views. Noah's eyes widened in disbelief.
