I walked through the front gate. I sighed: "Oh damn!! Another 6 hours of boredom."

It was 8:05 a.m. The bell had already rang and I knew that the form-teacher was filling the register(it's a book that the contains records of the presence or absence of students). I walked lazily through the corridors leading to my classroom. I hummed pleasantly, looking around at the activities going on. A teacher was scolding a first year student for misbehavior. I remembered my own mischief when I was young.

When I entered my class, my eyes widened; hardly half of my classmates were present. Then I saw my opportunity, the teacher did not see me. She was looking out of the window. she was obviously not conscious of my presence. I turned back quickly and rushed out of class.

Knowing I would be caught if I try passing in front of the school building to get to the gate, I used a shortcut by the back of the school building, walked at normal steps, so that no one gets suspicious.. when the school yard was reached, I rushed towards the gate, and got myself out..

"YESSSSSSSS", I would have shouted were I alone, but I was still in front of the gate and did not want to attract attention to me. Going unnoticed was way better.

Relaxing my nerves, I walked at leisure, enjoying the warm sunlight and the fresh air of freedom. I looked at my watch; it was 8:13... Only 8 minutes have passed since I entered through that gate...

Grinning like an idiot, I happily started my way home for a rare day off... :D
