"Maybe it's not about the happy ending, maybe it's about the story" - anonymous


The time has come
school
time.
My sister and I run to the school
from
the car.
We run to the two story school building
being
excited and scared.

Our skirts and jumpers blowing in the breeze
as
we
run.
We run to our classes,
are greeted by our new teachers,
and see some old,
and
some new faces.
RING!
Goes the bell.
The day
has
begun.
And
     our
         eyes
               are
                   locked
                             on
                                the
                                    clock
                                            until
                                                    the
                                                        bell
                                                              rings
                                                                     again.
