I’ve spent the last 9 years of my life at my school. The Hyderabad Public School. And today was the last day of school, considering the fact that we will only be going to school for the exams after this.

It wasnt very a special day. A handful of people came to school. Fatik and me minded the assembly for one last time and came to class. We just sat in class thinking about the boards and prefinals when our class teacher entered and took attendance…….Fatik and me still have 100% attendance……then we discussed about the exams, other students, our future, etc, etc……..

Maths class went by quickly and we went to the library, got some old board papers from there and walked out of school to get them xeroxed.  We walked back in school…..and while strolling towards the science block, we saw the tamarind tree next to the music room….we threw stones at it like small kids again, hit quite a few of them and walked on chewing tamarinds.

After returning the books to the library, we picked up our bags from class for one last time and went towards the middle school in search of a teacher. We found her….but she was busy…and as we waited for her, we saw 6th class kids running around doing stupid stuff…..we laughed our hearts out…for one last time…..

Then, just as we were about to go home, we asked the cook if there was chicken for lunch and he gave a blatant ‘Yes’ but that was enough for us…..we went in through the back gates…..and took our seats at the prefects table and waited for the bell to ring…after what seemed like eternity…..we ate as much as we could….we wished our appetites were larger…..then we bid goodbye to the boarders…….and walked out of the school gates looking back at the buildings which had given us moments of joy and sorrows…..good times and bad times…..friends and enemies……fun and fights…..school had never looked so beautiful……..
