My eyes felt heavy and dry from staring at my phone for so long. I know I should have been studying for my science test‚ but I procrastinated‚ so I continued to keep my dazed eyes glued to the bright screen. When I rarely looked up from my phone‚ I noticed that day was withering away‚ as it was becoming more and more deep into the night‚ with the sun replaced by the moon in the star-filled sky.
