{Jules} slides into a seat beside me with her hot lunch tray, sighing. Four hours, thirty-six minutes, and twelve seconds till we're out of purgatory for the weekend.Maybe later, I murmur, still distracted by the day's previous events.So, let me show you how a conversation works. I say something, and then you say something back that actually relates to what I was talking about, as if you were even the least bit interested. Huh? I say.
Jules sits next to the narrator, sighing about the long wait until the weekend, which feels torturous. The narrator is preoccupied with their thoughts, reflecting on earlier events of the day, indicating a sense of distraction and detachment from the present moment.
In a seemingly sarcastic tone, the narrator attempts to clarify the dynamics of conversation to Jules, emphasizing the importance of engagement. This highlights a disconnect between the characters, as the narrator's frustration signals a desire for more meaningful interaction amidst the mundane atmosphere of school.
