Time is of the essence
I’m really late for school
I’d better get ready
If I want to look cool.
Seconds slowly slip
As I fall down the stairs
Oh no I forgot my shoes!
Mum doesn’t care!
I just got there to school
I’m 15 minutes late
I can’t find anyone
I can’t find my mate.
Why is no one here?
I finally find Josh my mate
He is wearing his PJs too!
It turns out it’s a pupil free date.
