Walking down a never ending corridor
Thinking about your latest history essay
Trying not to about how badly you failed
This is fear
you enter the classroom
you brace yourself
Waiting for the teachers crackling scream
This is tension
It never comes
You look around to see an empty classroom
Then all of a sudden your mates jump out at you
This is surprise
Then you remember!
Its you birthday
Evan the teacher is smiling
Suddenly with a rush of relief you know you won’t get in trouble
This is joy
