Everyone was sitting in the schoolyard and early. Class was to start at 9. Buses were pulling in as more students arrived. We weren’t here for classes but to check our results on a bulletin board for which colleges we got into. I walked through the students sitting on the floor in their own small circles. A group of old friends were touching each others’ faces saying “boomf” in an exaggerated tone.

We got into a bus again and drove a bit further down the road. We sat there as we saw the teachers arriving. “They must hate Mondays too” someone said in the back.
