THE TEST!!

I look around and see the concentrated forms of my peers. They surround me in the now crowded place. I think back to when this was just a plain room. The desks and chairs stacked up neatly to the back corner, unlike now.

Desks are situated anywhere and everywhere in the space available. To my right to my left, in front of me and behind. I see the red and green chairs that support the students. I now see some pupils heads popped up. They look around the room, like I once did, taking in the scene.

The room is silent apart from the rustling of test papers and the occasional scratch of a pencil on paper. I wish for this to end. I want to be gone of these drab blue walls, the uncomfortable chairs and the tense atmosphere that is slowly suffocating me. The glare of the teacher next to me is intimidating and it reads for me to keep going on my exam.

I continue to write, for I long to be out of this room into the outside, where the breeze casually blows over your being whilst occasionally blowing your hair to dance around your face. I want to be where the sun shines bright, it's warm rays beating down warmth. I want to be where I can hear the birds chirping and the sounds of cars rushing past.

Where I am now is nothing like the outside. In here it's cold and allows no sunlight to be expressed. I cannot hear the comforting calls of nature or the familiar feeling of wind on my skin. Instead I feel caged, like there is no escape. I have to get out of here, I think to myself. My eyes consciously shift themselves to the clock on the wall, it's hands ticking by ever so slow. I concentrate on it and will it to move faster. Tik tok, tik tok. It continues to play like that for a continuous five minutes.

I feel as though I will suffocate if I stay here. The walls press in against me, shielding me from any escape. I try and hold on but it's getting more and more complex to do so. I'm almost at my ends length when. I hear the sound that will save me. The school bell. I have never been do comforted to hear that sound in my life before. Unwelcome it to my ears, like a dog would welcome food.

I smile to myself with glee. The joy that is flooding through me right now cannot compare. I finally feel alive again. Adrenaline pumps through me as I scramble to gather my books. Once they are stacked neatly in my arms I wait impatiently for the words that will finally free me. I can still hear the bell ringing in my ears as the teacher announces we are free to leave. I shoot out the door in seconds and am the first one out. I can breath. The sounds of nature reach my ears and I can feel the wind playing with my hair. I inhale deeply, letting the fresh air invade my nostrils. I finally feel at ease. I am free and able to live once again.
