I Am Nervous. . .

October 22, 2007
By Anonymous

The words “um” and “like” seem to be the only words that can exit my mouth. My body trembles as if my heart has just been electrocuted. I can feel the whole class staring me down like laser beams against my skin. They are waiting, waiting for me to make a mistake. My face turns into a fire truck red that seems so hot my eyes start to water like there is a leakage in my head and it needs to filter. My brain becomes full of this stuffy feeling and starts to pound like when you get off a jerky ride at an amusement park. My voice sounds shaky and stutters. The teacher interrupts to ask a question and it sounds like something just barked or screamed in my ear with no intention of stopping until I respond. My brain reflex snaps back and forth like a ping pong ball until I find a seat back in the comfort of my desk.
