May 19

So...

This morning when I woke up and actually flopped off of the mattress, I realised I had no school uniform. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, apart from the fact that today I had an assembly, with my REALLY strict head of year.

I made myself actually look like I was wearing the uniform, which I am quite proud of. I had a black t-shirt under a jumper that had a collar attached to the neck (those aren't allowed, but really who would know????)

I literally leapt down an entire flight of stairs to see that Mum and Dad were making pancakes, they had saved me 6 (small pancakes). Ironically, mine was the only one with a freaking french flag on it. I AM STILL NOT ON BOARD WITH THIS!!! 

(I shoved the whole stack of pancakes down my throat.)

Anyways, I hopped onto my usual bus, right time, right stop. I was feeling intense anxiety about seeing my friends, I mean, what would they think of me? Running away? That's not something the usual Elliot Woods would do. That's not something the usual Elliot Woods would do.

I got off at my school, just managing to make it in time to head to my first period, to make it easier for myself to explain EVERYTHING, I'm going to section it into the periods.

1st Period:

Business, not much to really explain but it was a good start to the day considering the fact that I'm the only one in my friend group that actually took business, not just the modules. I got to design my own electronic device and how it would help the community, so here's what I came up with:

The "Get Out Of Bed" Alarm

Maybe the name doesn't sound that appealing but HEAR ME OUT! It's a bed that is kind of like an alarm clock, except when you're not out of bed before a certain time, the bed will start to tip forward until it is stood up straight. This would help people because, well everyone can just tap their phone nowadays and just tap the screen to get an extra 10-15 minutes in bed, right?

2nd Period:

I actually had a lesson of Art!

Although I am not a huge fan of painting, I am very impressed with how my piece came out, I called it "Luz in the dark" - Luz means light in Spanish, by the way :)

To be completely honest, that painting took a lot off of my shoulders, I mean I don't write in here until the day is practically over, but one thing you should know about me, is that my brain is really active at night, so this is my way of slowing down.

3rd Period:

Computer science -

Introverted Elliot took over this period

4th Period - 5th Period:

This is when I had my usually BORING assembly, but it wasn't boring this time.

James was on the stage??? Was I dreaming? Unfortunately not.

He was looking across the audience for something (with some random teacher) and James ended up making unexpected (awkward) eye contact with yours truly (It was that awkward it felt like it was going on forever)

Before he jumped down from the stage and started to run over to me. (panic)

I ran away (again) to the local cafe near my school, I would obviously return once I knew the coast was clear, right??
