Late

It was a cool and chilly morning. I woke up with a start. I glanced at my alarm clock and saw that it was already 7.a.m. I am late. I rushed down to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, told goodbye to my mum and rushed off to get on my bicycle.

As I was riding on my bicycle, it started to drizzle. Then, suddenly it rained cats and dogs. I immediately quickened my pace. Suddenly I heard someone crying from behind. I turned behind to see my Aunt sobbing. Immediately, I ran towards her, leaving my bicycle on the ground.


There was blood oozing from my Aunt’s leg. Luckily, there were some plasters in my school bag. I took it out and applied it on my aunt’s leg. After several seconds, the bleeding stopped. My aunt thanked me and took a taxi home.

I looked at my watch and it was already 8.a.m. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. When I reached my school, I saw the prefects closing the gates. I shouted “Wait.” They heard me. They asked me why was I late. I explained to them everything. They did not scold me but praised me instead.
