Dilema

 Now or never. Tom said to himself. He knew she was the one. He had felt it within him down to his bones. But he couldn't bring himself to tell her despite the fact that she was sitting directly opposite him. He glanced at his watch. The time was running out and break-time would soon be over.

You're still a student, but you've been overworked to the point of exhaustion. So tired that you simply collapse on the bed and drift off to sleep, just like the previous nights.
