Sharon looked tired. Dark circles folded under her eyes.
"What happened? Are you okay?" I asked.
"I wasn't ready for my history presentation, so last night I had to burn the midnight oil."
"Wow!" I gasped. "You stayed up all night?"
"Yep. All night. I'm exhausted." Sharon grumbled. From the annoyed look she shot me, I had the feeling I was rubbing her the wrong way this morning.
"Well, good luck on your presentation! You've worked so hard! It will be a piece of cake!" I began to walk away.
"I guess so," she called after me. "I just wish I hadn't waited until the eleventh hour to finish it. I never do my best work at the last minute." As I looked back, Sharon was nodding off against her locker.
