A Standard School Day

So...I have a school story. This'll make up for missing yesterday's post. Ok, so I'm walking through the commons room on my way to the band room this morning. I notice a girl sitting all by herself (queue the "awwww"). That doesn't make her a loner at my school... just an idiot trying to hide the fact that she's on her phone. Anyways, I hear some of her side of the conversation..apparently, fleeing to the fine arts hall is good for privacy. Now, it's Halloween today. But my school, being supposedly Christian and all, doesn't recognize that officially as a holiday, so no costumes allowed (sounds reasonable enough). However, that doesn't stop people from wearing some cute little cat headbands and orange and black finger nail polish. Anyways, (I'm gettin' off topic a lot) so this is what I hear:
"Ohmigaw, I found this headband in my closet, so, like, I wore it today"...
"Like, no, we can't wear that...like just uniforms today"...
"Like, I painted my nails, how do you like them?"...
"Oh! Right! I forgot"...
"Okay, bye"...*she flips the phone closed*

Now...I know it's a bit early (if you call 7:00 AM early). And daddy's little princess might not have gotten her espresso frappuccino latte with ginger hand-picked by slave workers in a Columbian countryside. But to forget that people can't actually see you on a phone...that's just...how can you...why would...aye...I'm surprised she remembers to breathe on a regular basis...she's probably got a tutor paid for that.

Did she have headphones on that play "Breathe in, breathe out" constantly?
