SCHOOL DAYS

PART - 4 4RTH GRADE

Screeeeeeeeech................... the school-bus halted at on the front of my house. 

Stationeries = check

clean shoes = check

books = check

Lunch money = check

Everything = CHECK! 

I checked myself and boarded the bus. "welcome Harper !" said all of them who knew me. My favorite seat , the seat where I first sat , the seat where I had always been sitting.

When you say a thing is yours , people will ask "Is your name written on it ?" and In case of that , I wrote my name with a highlighter I found below the seat and carved my name with a broken ruler too !!! 

"hiya , Harper " said a small whisper. Of course it's Mathew but I couldn't locate where is that sound coming from. "over here , Harper !" he said and I looked right , I saw a big boy who's like he is in 5th grade or something. I was amused and amazed!

"oh my gosh are you Mathew!?!?!?" 

"yes , Harper ......" Mathew replied sarcastically.

"whoa ! you have got taller than me , Mathew" I said in amazement

"Ya , Harper " Mathew replied. He seemed so ......... mature!

He then opened a pack of Kablooie brand chewing - gum ! 

"whoa , Mathew , you are allowed to chew gum!?" I was so amazed

"yeah , we are in 4rth grade !" He replied

How could a wimp like that be so classy and cool !?

He shared the gum with me.  unlike our last year's and the previous year's bus driver , who were stinky old ladies with a mood so sorrow and dark , a 22-year old guy  so cool, was the bus-driver

He patiently picked up the kids and after the last stop, without the fear of parents surveillance , he put an awesome groovy music and our spirits rose . 

With our high spirits , we set - out to our school.

I stepped inside the school and walked a few steps and turned back and saw the board reading out 

"Orlands Public school" ............. " This never gets old ! " I said to myself and headed to the fourth floor.

Now , you might wonder how we can go to 4rth floor. We are too young to climb that a high !

well , we have been using lifts (assisted by teachers , of course!!) since 2nd grade !!! Ya guys it's not like I will share everything from my childhood once again , but I have mentioned most of the things!

So , I went to the 4rth floor and there were 2 corridors!!!!

I was confused. I saw girls and boys bigger than me , hanging out , roaming here and there.

"hey look , a kid !" a boy said "let's mess with him" a girl said and they approached me.

I gave a nervous chuckle as they came near me. They pulled my bag and unzipped it and tilted it. All my books fell out and they laughed at it . "loser" a boy said to me and they stuffed their hands inside my pocket to check if there's any money  and well, I was always safe , so I already stowed them down my inner - pocket. 

"that's rude , guys !" I said very impolitely. They became furious and they slapped me. One of the boys then realized a teacher was coming this way and they all escaped. I controlled both my anger and sorrow and picked it up , chinned up and started moving .

I went to my class and only some were there. I saw my classmates just hanging out in the corridor. Woah , 4rth grade was really a big leap for me . I joined them and we were happy. We hanged out and was having a good time till the bell rang. Then most of the people rushed into the classroom. Many of them did not know what's the danger lurking after a bell rings , including me.
