    The student overslept and was almost late for school. He rushed to get ready but slipped in the bathroom and broke his tooth. He missed the bus and had to sprint to school. When he arrived, class had already started. His teacher was angry that he was late. During class, he realized he had mistakenly brought his sister's bag instead of his own. It contained a coloring book instead of his homework. As punishment, he had to spend the rest of the day cleaning the toilets in the primary school. While doing so, bird droppings fell on his head multiple times. He had an extremely frustrating day.

    Topic 3: A Tale of Silver

    Linings
    My alarm clock rang in that perpetually annoying tune. I immediately hit the
    snooze and fell back into sleep. Aden! Why are you still sleeping? You are going to
    be late for school! Disgruntled by the interruption of my sleep, I almost fell out of the
    bed when I saw the time. It was already 7.00 oclock! I had only 15 minutes to get to
    school.
    I immediately changed out of my pyjamas and rushed to the bathroom. To my
    chagrin, I slipped on the bathroom floor and banged my chin against the sink. I felt
    my tooth break and tasted blood. But nevertheless, I continued brushing my teeth.
    One less tooth is better than feeling the wrath of my teacher, Mrs Leong. I decided.
    I had no time for breakfast, so I grabbed a bag and hurried outside the apartment.
    Just as I arrived at the bus stop, the bus decided to leave. As I ran as fast as my legs
    could carry me, the bus decided to greet me with a puff of smoke and chugged off.
    As I had only 7 minutes left, I had no time to wait for another bus. So I sprinted like
    my life depended on it and finally arrived at school. As I approached the parade
    square, it was already empty. A mix cacophony of students chattering and teacher
    shouting from the classrooms was audible. As I reached my classroom, I clenched
    my fists and braced myself for the explosion When I entered the classroom , I tried
    my best to explain why I was late, but was interrupted by Mrs Leong What are you
    standing around for ? Quick! Get to your seat boy! I heaved a sigh of relief and
    thought the nightmare was over, but instead, the worst was yet to come.
    Class, take out your homework right now for me to go through. As I unzipped the
    bag, I was utterly flabbergasted to find myself looking and a Mickey Mouse colouring
    book. That was when I realised that I had taken my sisters bag instead. As I looked
    up, I found an infuriated Mrs Leong glaring at me. Detention! she ordered.
    I spent the rest of the day cleaning the lower primary school toilet. Those kids really
    need to know how to clean themselves. I grunted. Splat! I felt something wet and
    warm on the top of my head, Aargh! Bird poop! I screamed as I whipped out my
    handkerchief and began wiping my hair with it. Then I proceed to shout vulgarities
    and the errand offender, only to be greeted with more crowning glories. With this, I
    took off screaming, I had more than I could take for one day !
