Excellence Award in the 'Write Here Write Now 2017' competition

It was the last week of school,
When my friends were going crazy!
Although my teacher was cruel,
He was also very lazy.
But three more days were now left,
Of the dreaded class that was death.
But then we had to do six tests,
And now it’s nearly my last breath.
One more day to get through and out,
Oh my gosh, it’s turning to a row!
Then I heard my teacher shout,
“Molly come here to my desk right now!”
My head was thumping,
I was trying to be happy.
My arms were aching.
Hooray! The bell had saved me.
