Strong Feelings

Joseph sat in the classroom, hardly listening to the teacher who's voice droned on and on like some broken record. The lesson was boring, the teacher hardly made any sense and was just reading from the textbook instead of teaching.

Despite looking like he was hardly paying attention to his surroundings, he was well aware of all those gazes upon him. Girls tended to hang around him and he didn't really mind because they were nice girls.

But …

He was doodling on his textbook while the voice droned on. When the bell rang indicating lunch break, he snapped out of it. He looked down and realised with horror that the page was full of the name 'Kay' written in various ways, with all types of hearts all around it. 

As if that wasn't bad enough, he had drawn on the right-hand side of the page, a spider on a spiderweb, wrapping someone in its web.
