Ethan rushed through the crowd, clutching his backpack tightly, unaware of the missing piece of his attire. His thoughts were consumed with the upcoming math test, oblivious to the curious glances trailing after him.

Ms. Taylor, the math teacher, entered with a confident stride, her eyes scanning the class. "Good morning, everyone," she greeted warmly. Ethan settled into his seat, finally noticing the odd sensation of cool air on his skin.

"Uh, Ms. Taylor... I think I forgot something," he muttered, his eyes darting nervously. Laughter erupted around him, a ripple of amusement spreading through the students. Ms. Taylor tried to stifle a smile, recognizing the humor in the situation.

"Why don't you grab a jacket from the lost and found, Ethan? We'll wait for you," she suggested kindly. Ethan nodded gratefully, slipping out of the classroom with a mix of relief and lingering embarrassment.

"This should do," he mumbled to himself, pulling it over his head. As he returned to class, the initial embarrassment was replaced by a sense of camaraderie, his peers greeting him with supportive smiles.

Ms. Taylor resumed the lesson, her voice steady and engaging. Ethan settled into his seat, feeling a newfound confidence. "Alright, let's tackle this test, shall we?" she announced, bringing focus back to the task at hand.
