''Jack!!!'' , his mother shouted downstairs, ''the school bus is here to pick up students, hurry up now before it leaves''.

''I'm coming muh'' he replied as he quickly dashed out of the bathroom, still dripping wet. He rushed over to the window and saw the school bus pull into the street. Kids stood in line to get into the bus. 

''Oh boy Oh boy Oh boy!!!, he repeated, frantically cleaning his body towel dry. He grabbed his neatly iron clothes his mother had spread out on the bed for him and force them down his soapy damp body. His blue jeans trousers was difficult to wear.His mom heard the thud of his body downstairs, as he tried to force the trouser into his waist while lying on the floor. ''Damn you'', he said between his gritted teeth as he finally forced it on. He stood up and zipped. ''Ouch!!'', the zip caught his willie.  He limped over to the window in  pain when he heard the bus engine roared to life, ready to leave.

''No no no!''

He pulled on his white t-shirt and dashed across the room to grab his backpack. He paused for a while to kiss his black backpack. ''muah!''. Everything he needed for a record breaking prank was contained inside. He had taken his time to put in everything he needed the previous day. Not one leaf of a notebook could be found in his bag. He's surely going to win the bet he made with the others. He had made a well thought out plan to get expelled. He smiled,''The day of reckoning is upon us''.

''Jack!!!'' her mother shouted again from the kitchen. ''Hurry!''

''Oh, that's right'', his mothers voice brought his head around. He dug his foot into his canvas, pulled open his room door and hurried  downstairs, taking flight of two steps down, landing at the base with a big''HOOF!'' . He raced across the brown tiled floor of the sitting room to the door. 

His mom called at him from the kitchen, ''Jack come grab your lunch box''

''No time mom!, I don't wanna miss the bus''. Besides, he didn't want his mom to see the content of his bag.

His mom got to the sitting room in time to see Jack's ruffled uncombed hair, damp clothes and stuffed backpack. She was not shocked to see his sorry sight. The same familiar scene played every other day.Jack could be such an headache. School resumption provided her the medicine for her nagging headache since the holidays. Prayers for him to behave well on his first day at school flew out the window the moment she saw jack step out of the house looking haggard. ''Lord help the school'', she offered a silent prayer in her heart.

''wait!'', jack screamed as he pursued the moving bus. He tapped the bus with his hands, trying to get the drivers attention. The bus finally slowed down, before coming to a stop. He ran to the door and it opened with a swoosh sound. He climbed up the steps into Sunny star academy's yellow bus. The bus driver shook his head with pity when he saw Jack's appearance. It's going to be another day.
