I tried to take quieter breaths, to keep the silence held so faithfully by Elizabeth and the others, I was unsuccessful. The teacher strode over to where I was practicing, each click of her tar-black heels slow, deliberate, loud.

"Stop that!" She snapped, voice deafening in the silence. For a moment I saw Elizabeth and a few others flinch, fear flickering across their faces, though in the next moment it was replaced with emotionless, robotic looks. I responded with a confused look. What did I do wrong?

"You’re breathing too loudly," she replied as if reading my thoughts. Um, excuse me? Breathing too loudly. The words rang in my head, echoing over and over and over. I contemplated arguing back, trying to make it make sense, but I wasn’t stupid, I knew that over here, it would be useless.
ns18.189.178.140da2This is inspired of off a real event. So basically we were doing our dance routine and our teacher was recording, and then he said 'Why are you breathing so loud, it's coming on video.' For context: we were like 4-5 feet away, and the phone he was recording on was glued to his face, so realistically it should be his breathing that's going to be heard, not ours. But he didn't listen and we got lectured.44Please respect copyright.PENANATUgoODLdkE
