Waiting Patiently

Dont you think that some days seem longer than others?
Well i do and today is taking forever,
Im sitting in the undercover area at school waiting patiently to be able to go to class
but Mr Smith is counting down the clock in some diffrent language i dont
understand,
We are aloud to go to class at 8:30 and its only 8:01, Its boring and i want to show
everyone my diorama,
Well my own opinion it looks GREAT, I hope my teacher Mrs Lee likes it.
Im trying to keep my mind of time and try to make time fly, So i decide to play
a game of octopus with some little kids. Theres only 3 little kids that i dont know
and myself.
Ive been running around for about 10 minutes well at east i thought, but i checked the time
on my watch and it says 8:06.
I get angry and sit on the bench,
Mr Smith is still sitting down on the bench besides me with some little kids talking some sort of
diffrent launguage. I think its Italian but I dont know.
I check my watch now,
Its only 8:15 and theres only 1 person in the undercover area with me that i know and he
is only year 3, He is very annoying and bugs me and guess what he is doing right now...
BUGGING ME,
Hes annoying me so i yell at him, The little boy runs of and starts to cry and dobs on me.
I get sent on a red dot for 25 minutes, The time will than be 8:40.
Oh no im going to be late for class i say to myself.

Tick Tock Tick Tock,

Times flying by and Mr Smith said he will dismiss me from my dot at 8:40
I look down at my watch and it says 8:45. Im late and Mr Smith wont dismiss me!
I asked him and he said no its not time.
I start to stress... I think to myself, I dont want to get a bad report i say, Its my last year
and i want to make the most of it.

Its 8:55 according to my watch and Mr Smith finally dismisses me, I Jump up, grab my bag
and my diorama and sprint to class. I get into class and everyone looks at me funny like i was late
or something. I run to Mrs Lee and apologize for being late and beg for her not to put it on my
perminent record. She look at me evan funnier and says "Its only 8:40 Holly" and she Laughs.
