Humpty Dumpty

Salman's POV

The weather was fine and cool in the morning, it wasn't sunny. The sky was pretty and had a nice shade of blue with pure white clouds. But when it was around 9:00 in the morning the white clouds changed into grey ones and the sky became darker and cloudy which suddenly poured out a heavy rain causing huge water puddles form all over he grounds at school. We hardly heard each other because of the noise of the water droplets falling on the tin roof.

The rain and the puddles stopped us from going out to the grounds to play during the break. We went out to the corridor hoping that we can at least hang out with the girls, but they were nowhere to be seen, their classroom door was closed, so.. maybe they were inside. We didn't proceed to knock on the door and call them for a chat rather we walked back to our class and were just idling out of boredom.

                 The break was over and we were waiting for the next teacher to come. We sat around Omar's desk having a chit chat. The rain had subsided and its been 10 minutes yet the teacher had not come. We've been talking since long and now we ran out of topics to speak about, so we started singing nursery rhymes adding more funny words and phrases to it. Yeah, we were the 10th graders but at times of boredom and craziness we act as kids, just for fun.

Edgar made up a song and sang for us which made us laugh out loud. It was about our math teacher Sir Hamdi and eventually now its our math period and he had not come to class, we thought he was absent because none of us saw him in school today.

He's pleasant and kind but he gets angry very fast and for simple issues, maybe because he is old, looks like he is in his late 70's. He's a thin, tall man and his outfit was the funniest. He tucks his shirt in his trousers and the waist of his trousers reach above his tummy moreover he keeps raising his trousers from the waist time to time. I don't know why, this reminds us of Humpty dumpty and we call him so, but he doesn't know, rather no one knows except the 10 of us.

The song sounded hilarious and we wanted to sing it all together once more. So, we started....

   "Humpty Dumpty came to our class

             Humpty Dumpty had a great brain

                       All the........"

                   Suddenly the door opened and there stood Sir Hamdi which made us shut our mouths and we were dumbstruck. Luckily he hadn't heard us but was furious at the sight that I and Fred were sitting on top of the desks while our legs were on top of it as well and we were drumming, Omar and Kaym were beat boxing climbing on chairs, Harry and Edgar were dancing and the rest of our classmates were revising the lessons or reading a book or so.

"You rascals! OUT...all of you!!"

Sir yelled and drove the six of us out of the class to the corridor yet he didn't finish scolding. We were suppressing our laughter and when Sir turned back and headed towards the class Edgar burst out, kind of softly but Sir heard it, to which Edgar received a slap in return.

Sir continued the lesson in class and we were punished in the corridor the whole period, we enjoyed the punishment while sitting on the balcony, we were in the mood of munching something.

I said "I brought snacks but its inside my bag"

"How can we take it?" Omar stated thinking of an idea.

"I'll give a try" said Kaym and walked towards the door, as we followed him to see what's happening and to help him if he needed.

"Its inside the small zip in the front" I added
