xxxv. school and boredom

I had officially decided that school and boredom were synonyms.

Synonym - a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language

I just couldn't wait for recess, but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. I looked at the clock. 8:35. School had barely started. Our new teacher, Mrs. Brown, never let us do anything interesting. Third grade had just become one long nap time.

I looked over at Aaron and Justin. Aaron was almost as bored as I was. Justin seemed fine though. He liked school. I didn't know why.

The girl behind me tapped me on the shoulder. "This is for you," she said. She gave me a small piece of paper. I opened it up.

I'm so bored - Aaron

Next to the note, Aaron had drawn a little picture of a bear snoring. I giggled and started writing back.

I want to go to recess now! - McKenna

We started writing back and forth with Aaron drawing little pictures sometimes. The conversation went something like this:

Aaron: Yeah, but it's cold and there isn't any snow.

Me: That's no fun :(

Aaron: I know. I just want to go home.

Me: Me too. I want to play in the treehouse.

Aaron: That would be fun.

I started writing another reply, but I caught Justin looking over my shoulder. He would definitely tell Mrs. Brown. I didn't know what she would do to us, so I stuffed the paper into my binder. I looked at the clock. 8:38. I couldn't wait until recess.

A/N: Have any of you listened to the new Fall Out Boy song? FRENCH HORNS!!!
