I stared at the clock mounted on the wall, seconds seeming like minutes. Minutes like hours. My teacher stood facing away from the class, droning on about some garbage we probably will never need to use anyway, and scribbling on the board. 526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEdLvlX2T3
Ten, nine.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7GUCpM40e
"Multiply these....."526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRFfR9nAAh
Eight, seven, six.
Her powdery chalk let out a ear drum bursting screech as it drew numbers on the dusty board.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRuGj2Yu2u
Five, four, three.
Others around me began to tidy their belongings in preparation for the bell.
Two, one.
Sighs were released from students in the class, I found I produced one myself. The ringing of the bell echoed off the hallway walls - any student's favorite noise. Mounting my back-pack over one shoulder, I began to make my way to the door, its edges starting to splinter. Some students already out of the building, others still packing their books into their bags. After much waiting, the end of the day had come. I was free for another couple of hours, and I intended on spending that time getting nothing done, as most kids my age would.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ1JjcgA0S
"Fredrick! Oi! Fred!" I called across the hall, as usual, nobody paid any attention to me. Except for one.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BsZq9EhKF
Fred, my closest friend - rephrase - only friend, balanced precariously on his toes, searching for my taffy coloured hair. Upon spotting me, he darted through the crowd, towards my direction. 526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIjVHjKHcf
"Ryder! There you are! I thought that old bat might've kept you back for after school detention because you sneezed or something." 526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOrabtBO2Z
I laughed like I do every time I'm with Fred. He was the best, every part of him, from his jet black hair down to his duct taped together shoes. 526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM1jV7rnnf
"You can come over to my place this afternoon." I proposed to him, already knowing the answer.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLnYvQMngd
"Of course! But I don't have to if you want to participate in 'family game night'." He joked, knowing my Mum's weekly family routine. 526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUpblBpgnw
"You know I don't." I responded flatly.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0R7SSma78
We both chuckled. My Mum's game nights always suck. I was just about to pull another joke when I found myself unable to form the words.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgKNVks2F5
I felt overwhelmingly dizzy and my vision blurred. I saw that Fred looked concerned and barely heard him when he spoke my name. The hallway was empty now, it was just us left. Lights exploded in my eyes.526Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU8HFrHOaD
