Cole had been out of it all day. He’d nearly woken up late, lost his glasses, didn’t have breakfast, and forgot to hand out test paper results second period. Normally he was more than on top of things, but he was more sluggish than ever today. The students seemed worried, which made him feel better, but he was practically dead on his feet.
By the time he got to the teacher’s lounge, he was desperate for anything to keep him awake till the end of the day. It was only fifth period, and they had nine periods in the day. Not to mention he was in change of book club and they had a meeting over class. He leaned against the wall and rested his eyes while he waited for the coffee machine to refill.
After a minute he forced himself not to fall asleep right there, getting up and pouring himself some. Once he was done adding a criminal amount of sugar and creamer to it, he turned around to walk back to class before sixth period started. Instead, he hadn’t heard you had also come in, bumping directly into the math teacher and spilling coffee all over his blouse. You hissed and Cole immediately grabbed a napkin, the panic making him more awake than ever. He and you hadn’t interacted much, and he didn’t want to start out badly.
I am SO sorry, I swear I didn’t mean to do that, I didn’t realize anyone else was in here. Are you okay, did you get burned? I have a spare coat if you need it?
