AFTER SCHOOL

    The relieved and exuberant feelings come out as I get out from that bewildered and exhausting class. Unpatient boys run off along the long steep stairs heading to their favorite mini-market shop. Some of the small groups of students go to the huge mall nearby, the mall which is most-visited by our students. Teachers are settle back to their safe and sound room after dismissing their shrill classes.

    I step out of that big wooden gate and join the puzzled crowd. Walking with my close friends beside me. Feeling very squeeze with this pushing and stepping. It is like all the oxygen in the air is sucked up. After couple of minutes, I manage to escape from all those horrible things. Seeing my grandma’s driver stand there in my sight is total happiness. I walk for several blocks and found the golden-ish car. I place my tiring body to the car and just sit and loosen. The strong air-conditioner cools and relax my stiff body. Close my eyes and feel the breeze. When the journey ends, I open my eyes as I pace down the car.
