'eh where they going?'

'why you never go?'

'I thought you bilingual one?'

Questions, oh those burning questions


They strut across the

Classroom, shoes

Clicking-clacking on the tiles

Heads pop out at the door


'oi, hurry up lah'

'we're going to be late'

'faster, you walk slower than a snail'

It's always those few complaints


Complaining about

Your poor, pretty hands

Complaining about

Missing out on lessons


'lol my hands dead already'

'can someone tell me what happened in class?'

'it was so fun!!'

'it's so cold there bro'


Don't you know

How I could have

Exchanged my life

Just to be you


For that one Thursday.


Can be counted as the 'sequel' to Jealous as Charged! Was going to publish my other poem, but it did not save properly...so here's another one! School is tiring, I am on the verge of falling asleep yes!
