Well, I suppose it was like all of the other ones. But I couldn't put my finger on it but something was different about this school. Was it the teachers, or the students, or even just the way that everything just rolled? Anyway, today was even worst then yesterday. Not only was I late for school but, I got detention. Which meant that I missed the bus home, so I had to walk home. Which meant that I had no time when I got home to do any homework. So that meant my grades will be low in math and geometry. That wasn't all, that meant that Susan was worried sick about the fact that I was late home and that I failed part my grades, and, well. There you have it.
My Day!
If you ask me it wasn't all that bad, well, I have had worst. As I walked home from school, I tried to take the shortest way possible. It wouldn't matter because, I paused and looked at my watch. 5.30pm. I would just be walking though the door now, if I didn't have detention. Anyway, it wouldn't matter because I still walk very slow and kick my feet around with the pebbles on the ground. But it was good that I walked slow. Well, it want good. But it meant that I had time to clear out my head.
My head was spinning. It was full of problems that I hadn't even come across yet. It didn't help, my bag I mean. It was filled with heaps of books about math and geometry that I should of been studying for. Mr. J my math teacher, is giving us a test tomorrow and so far all I know about math is algebra well, and the easy stuff.
One, two, three, jump. One, two, three, jump. One, two, three, jump.
When you are walking al long way, you can't just go left, right, left, right. You sort of have to mix it up a bit. So that was why I was counting.
One, two, three, jump. One, two, three, jump. One, two, three jump.
I would go, left (1), right (2), left (3) and then I would sort of hop/ jump onto my next foot. And so on...
Problems, problems, problems... What will I do. I thought to myself as I jumped.
