Personal Recount

Worst school day.

Even till now, I have yet to forget that worst day in school. In the morning, while I was going to school, it was raining heavily. I thought I had put my umbrella in my bag so I happily wore my shoes and went out to take the bus to school. Since I was already a primary five student, my parents decided that I was ready to go to school on my own.
I reached the bus-stop in time to catch the bus. On the way, I did not take my umbrella out as there is shelter all the way. I hopped onto the bus thinking what I shall have for lunch and wonder what the teacher would be teaching that day. I took out my phone and ear-phones to listen to some music as it was a long journey.
‘Ding dong!’ the bus-stopping sign was shown on the board. I was ready to get off and I searched my bag for my umbrella.
Before I even got ready my umbrella, the bus came to a halt. It had arrived at the bus-stop and I have not got my umbrella yet! I squeezed my way through the crowd and to the door.
‘Today is so crowded on the bus!’ I thought.
As I reached the door, an old lady accidentally fell on me and I was pushed down the stairs and I fell on my bottom on the wet ground.
I was so annoyed. I calmed down quickly and got on the bus to tap my card and came out of the bus again.
‘Since it was an old lady, I shan’t be bothered with her anymore,’ these words came to my mind.
As soon as I got off the bus, I realised that I had forgotten to take my umbrella out and now I was drenched from top to toe! I hurriedly went into the shelter. I tried drying myself but I failed. I ran to school, slipping down a few times but as I was getting late, I pulled myself up and ran to school.
Fortunately, I was in time for the assembly in class. I walked to my class and everyone was laughing at me, thinking that I was a clown.
My hair was wet and strands of hair were dangling out, my school uniform was wet and crumbled, my shoes were wet and socks too. My bag was worse. The books inside were…
Luckily, it was not wet. I fumbled back to my seat. My friends all laughed but they were kind enough to lend me a helping hand. I was only dried after break time ends. Teachers that came in to teach, asked what had happened to me. I was, of course, frustrated with answering all the questions.
Finally, it was dismissal time. The sun was burning hot on the ground. I could feel all the water evaporating from the ground. I went home straight away.
What an unlucky day. Unfortunately, that was not the end of it. I found my umbrella in my sister’s bag as I have put in the wrong bag and I fell sick the next day.
