Late for school

"Wake up, wake up", Edward, Lara's brother shouted. "5 minutes more" said sleepy Lara. "Idiot get up, it has been 4 consecutive days you are going school late, it you go late today, I guess you know what Dean is going to do". As soon as she heard these words, Lara quickly got up and hurriedly got into the bathroom.

"Young Mistress", said the nanny "Are you not going to eat breakfast today?" "No I have no time!", said Lara looking at the grandfather's clock. It was already 8:30 and her school started from 9:00. It took almost 45 minutes to reach her school by bus. Though the Warren family was rich, Lara used to go to school all alone from a very young age, after her parents died in a car accident. She was really afraid to sit in the car from then on. "But your Grandfather and brother will get upset if they heard that-" Before the nanny could finish the sentence, Lara rushed out of the Warren mansion as fast her little legs could carry her.

As soon as she got into the bus, she sat on a window seat and slowly closed her eyes. As she closed her eyes she could see herself lying in the bed of infirmary. And Henry,(her crush) was holding her left hand. Seeing her Tom said "You ok?" Ahhh? Wh....at h..app...en...ed?" Before Tom could reply, the doctor said, she needs rest do not. And that was all she could hear and see. (Because she was awake)

By the time, she reached sher school she was already late. "Ahhh", began the dean "so you are late again aren't you? Go to the playground and run 50 laps" Hearing this she was a bit scared but she could not do anything.

She began to run but suddenly she was feeling very dizzy and tired due to the extreme heat of the bright yellow sun. And then- She collapsed in the group. Henry who was watching her from their classroom, came running down and carried her to the infirmary.

When Lara opened her eyes, she was in the bed of the infirmary. As she saw in her dream this morning, Henry was holding her hand and the doctor said that she needs rest. Moreover, she dream had come true!

After a few hours when it was recess Lara came to henry and said, "Well, thank you for the incident that occurred in the morning." "Oh it's nothing" said Henry with a smile.

The next day, Lara was not late for school. When she entered her classroom, she first saw if Henry was there or not and then she waved at him with a smile. Henry smiled back.

Lara went and sat on she desk and closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She could see drumsticks with fried rice, fresh bread, little trout fried to perfection and fresh orange juice. "Woah drumsticks? Finally! My favour-" Before she could finish the sentence somebody gave her a shake and said ''What are you doing? Mrs Ji is staring at you for a long time!''
