I believe Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness(correct me if I am wrong)

Acid buildup causes them to be sore..

You are on the money, but I think the acid buildup (lactic acid) is more the burning and soreness you feel during your workout and right after, DOMS is more of the tears in your muscle, caused by lifting, repairing themselves.

Pain

why wernt they sore in the morning and then they got sore in the middle of the day and at the end i really felt it

Because it takes awhile for your body to start to repair itself.

Pain

so the pain/acid only is there when your body starts to repair?

DOMS = Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, it's caused by micro tears in the muscle tissue. Delayed is usually defined as 24hrs. Of course it's not dead on accurate for everyone.

The lactic acid is produced while working out and will dissipate within 30-45 mins of your workout, depending on your workout.

I don't know if this is the right answer to your quesiton but have you ever felt sore from just being tired? If i stay awake for 24hrs straight, not doing anything physical just pulling an all nighter, some of my muscles get sore especially my traps. Maybe you're just more tired at the end of the day of school so you started to feel the effects?

i felt sore before 24 hours but then i got the very sorrest at 24 hours i would say no it was from the workout cause i didnt work out for 3 weeks cause i was buy so last night i put an intense workout and thats why man my amrs and byceps are so sore even when i stretch my arm out.
