I was in seventh grade and my voice was still maturing. As usual I got up in the morning for school, but for a good reason, I wasn't unhappy. It was the last day of school before the summer vacations, and boy, I was glad. I was glad because, the days before the summer vacations are usually more interesting and fun than the actual summer vacations! Many of my so called classmates were already headed to their holiday destinations.
I entered the bus and greeted my driver with my cracky voice. He was surprised I did so, as I never usually greet anyone, even if it is the best day of my life. So you know how much I expected from that day.
The school was almost empty, even the staff room had only a handful of teachers. We had only the first four periods that day due to some occasion, which was unknown to us. The first period was my Hindi class. The teacher, unexpectedly, gave us the freedom to do whatever we wanted. My friend had bought Ludo, so atleast there were board games to play, rather than bored games! We had very few pieces, so we decided to play one piece each, rather than four. I was green, my friend Joe was blue, another friend of mine(he doesn't want his named mentioned in my blog, but he would understand if I called him Jaggu.), was yellow and another friend, namely'mug up' Abhishek was red! I started off well until Mr.Jaggu overtook me by luck(the game is either ways about luck). In the first game I ended up second while Jaggu ended up first. Joe was third and Abhishek was last(Don't ask me how I still remember all this!).
The second game again I was second and surprisingly, Abhishek was first! Jaggu was third followed by Joe. The third game however, I made it to the top spot. Joe followed me receiving his second place, and the third and fourth place was controversial. In the end no one got those two places. Playing all the three games well, I knew luck was on my side for the day!
The second period we continued Ludo, as the Arabic teacher was too busy correcting some books and asking some my classmates, who were jobless to go giving the corrected books to the pupils it belonged to. Me and my friends got bored of Ludo, so we packed up. Instead we started cracking silly jokes that only made the four of us laugh! The Arabic teacher tried to shut us up, but to little effect! After what kind of a person would ask students to stay quiet just before the summer vacations.
The Arabic period went by quickly, as everyone knows when your having fun, time goes by like a cheetah. Minutes seemed like the speed of light. Well who cares as long as we were having fun! You know how we boys are! When something called as fun starts, it is hard to stop! Jaggu kept telling me that my voice had changed a lot. The idiot wouldn't shut up about it. The third period however, we found something psychotic to do! It was kiddish, but fun! It is called 'Truth or Dare'! It is quite simple. We put a pen amid our desk and rotate it. It will one hundred percent point at someone! The person who the cap of the pen is pointed to, will be in the receiving end, that is the person gets an option, whether he has to say a truth or he prefers a dare! He can only choose truth twice! On the other end that is the pen bottom end, the person gets to ask the question or gets to dare! The question or dare has to be embarrasing!
Seriously, I wouldn't want to mention anything we said or did! It was great fun, but! The game continued for a whole period and luckily the teacher was kind enough to allow the game to continue. The next period was hell! It was our English period, but our teacher had resigned from her job as she had to follow her husband to India and continue her work there, and a replacement was yet to be found. It was a Mathematics teacher who was substituting, he managed to keep us quiet!
He kept asking some questions which only two-three of my classmates succeeded in answering, there was no punishment for not answering, but the period was boring!
At last the period had got over and we got into our half-empty buses. I did nothing much in the bus. When I reached home the first thing I did was, turned on the television. I saw the first part of Iron Man again as there was no much of an option other than that. I also played the only game I had on my PSP.
Later that day, I asked my father if I could get a new game, he replied affirmative. My luck was great that day! What a day!
Hasta la Vista,
