Oh, what a morning!

[Well, here’s a post before both Halloween and St. Patrick’s day, for those who requested one ;) ]

Today at school I had to go in early because a club I am in meets Wednesday mornings. I enter the building, and no one is there, not even the secretaries at their desks, but this is normal; at my school, bandies are usually the only punctual people, and everyone else tends to be what I like to call L-A-T-E (and yes, the previous statement was an slight exaggeration). It was at that time two or so minutes before the usual meeting time and the teacher in charge just arrived and I am still the only member present (again, this is quite normal). He chuckled and said, “Well, you’re going to be waiting for a while...” and I replied “yeah...” with a half-chuckle, knowing that the other members usually didn’t arrive for a while after the meeting was suppose to start. Then, he offered to open the door of the classroom so I could sit in it, and I replied, “No, I’ll be fine.” I actually enjoyed sitting in the hallway tucked behind the end of a row of lockers, because it was a lot less awkward than sitting in an empty classroom. However, still this was a strange question for him to ask! The others usually did not take that long to arrive, and he should start preparing for the meeting at that moment anyway! Still, he walked away and I went back to studying for the math test I had later in the day. After he turned the corner I suppose he met up with a few other teachers, for they began a rather loud conversation (not intentionally loud, however). I was trying to ignore them and study...well...that is until I heard three little words: “one hour delay”.

I froze; “...ONE HOUR DELAY?!?!” my head screamed; I quickly stood up and rushed to the high school office in hope of being able to call home, but no one was there...I quickly rushed to the middle school office, but alas! No one was there either! With the sense of defeat in my heart, I went to the auditorium lobby (where students are suppose to wait before school) and gave up. LOL, don’t pity me, I think it is hilarious! Plus I was able to catch up on reading a novel that I have to finish for tomorrow’s English class.
