Last Day of School

It was 2:10 on the dot. We sat in our desks all packed up , listening to our teacher giving another boring speech about summer. "Be safe." Shed say "Read a lot." She'd say "Dont have too much fun." Shed say. I knew every word our teacher would have said before she did. I dozed off and couldn't help but watch the clock. All i could hear was its constant ticking. Not even the quiet whispers of my classmates could remove me from this trance. 2:12 the clock now read , 3 more minutes left to spare. Then i slowly skimmed my desk which was as bare as the rest of the room. No more signs hung , the floor swept clean , all of our text books ready for next years students. 2:14 the clock now read , 1 more minute left to spare. "What will i do this summer?" I asked my self "Biking? Maybe even swimming!" But then the bell rung. 2:15 , no more minutes left to spare. Out of force of habit i jumped up an bolted for the door , down the halls , then into the school yard. My summer had officially begun.
