i woke up at 6:50-ish this morning. damn. i felt awful. not sick, just really really tired. so i decided that i couldn't be bothered going to school for an 8:30 start, and resolved to wake up at 9 to get to school at recess.
---------------------------//-------------------------(sorry to steal this from you alex)
i arrived at the front gates. recess hadn't started. i was too early. my paces shortened, walking along the sides of my heels so as to make the least possible noise. i performed recon.
[recon: 10:20:37. locstat:school. caution.]
threat: class on hockey field. size: [unknown].teacher:[unknown].threat:[minimal].
threat: class on oval. size:[large]. teacher:[mr. kok]. threat:[moderate].
possible pathways:
-up and through bushes. up through hill.//threat: 2.5% capture.

-around along road. up the steps.//threat:15%. within line of sight of sports teacher on hockey field.

-around across carpark, next to oval.//threat:30%. within line of sight of mr. kok.

end pathway: up through bushes.
it all seemed a bit too easy.

------//------
toe.heel.toe.heel. i walk through the gravel, watching mr. kok's head, making sure it is not aiming in my direction. i finally reach the car. looking through the car window. i wait for mr. kok to turn around, his back facing me




now. i bolt up the hill. i look back in his direction. he doesn't seem to have noticed me. i am on caution mode now. i wait another minute for my caution to go away. 40m from the school gates. i crouch behind the line of cars. i wait for a moment, still in my crouch position. i begin to walk out. shit! mr. smyth. inside my mind, the evasion mode has switched on. i duck back behind the car, and slide down the embankment. he has obviously noticed something. i wait for another five minutes. i have still not been caught. he must have gone. calmed down, i assess the situation once more. i find that the path along the road and steps is safer. i walk, upright, along the road, trying not to catch the sports teacher's attention. i am up to the top of the steps within 30 seconds. 20m from the door. i was now in caution mode. around the corner, would be a wide open concrete and gravel area. windows from the mathematics office opened out onto this area. i leant, prone against the wall, shuffling against it cautiously. i peered around into the office. no sight of any teachers. i jumped, over to the next stretch of wall. i peer back around. still not teacher. it was smooth sailing. i walked to the door, and opened it. in i went. safe. objective:[completed].mission:[success].


i walk in, assembly has just finished. i look up on the bulletin board. hmm...hey!

Period 6 & 7 - 6ENY

i read the top of the notice.

No Classes - 20th June

i count forwards from friday night. 17. 18. 19....20! thats today! shit!

i had come to school for nothing. the other two periods i would have would be physics and library. and the physics teacher wasn't even there. i risked being caught by mr. smyth for nothing. less than 30 minutes after i had gotten to the school's front gates, i walked out of them.
