SCHOOL BLUES

“Hurry up, hurry up, the bell is ringing!”

“Quick, the gate is closing. We are late!”

“Oh … no. I left my Math books and sports clothes at home!”

The sun was starting to shine brightly over their youthful heads. The sound of their pounding feet was an everyday routine people could hear each morning.

“Stop there!Walk to the school yard!”

“Get off your motorcycle! Don’t you know what time is it now?”

“Do 30 push ups ! Come on, be discipline!”

Commands were heard by the front gate, breaking the silence of the beginning of the new day. Then there would be a line of students with their grinning countenances in front of the teacher office to record their juvenility.

“Another 20 points for me”.

“Yeah, it is my third this week”.

“Why doesn’t our school start at 07.00?”,

Some grunts came out while the speakers were drifting to their classes.

“Knock, knock”.

“Come in. Why are you  late?”

“I got up at 06.00 o’clock, Sir”

“Well, you are 15 minutes late. Do 5 rounds running across the basketball field”.

The smiles left their lips and they had to do the next command so they could join  their classmates to study.

Sweating, thirsty and beaten, those seekers of knowledge got into their seat with sighs of relief.

“Allright, take out  your homework!”

“Not again! I forgot to do it!”
