A Genuine Mistake (By Nur Nabilah)

It was a normal day in October and I was going for recess. As I was walking down the staircase from the third level, something weird happened.

I did not know what it was so I continued to walk down the stairs. Then I entered the school’s canteen area. Suddenly I felt something weird happening but I just did not know what it was, so I went to queue to buy some food to eat as I had not eaten breakfast in the morning.

Then I tried to find my friends but I could not find them, therefore I find myself a place to sit as I thought they were still buying their food. The only people I saw were the non-Muslims pupils and some teachers.

When it was towards the end of recess, I went to the quadrangle to queue because I did not want to be sitting in hot sun as it always reminded me of the punishment my teacher had done to the class and it was horrible!
“Kriiiii…..ng” suddenly the bell to indicate that recess had ended sounded. Many pupils were running towards the quadrangle and could almost smell how smelly it was at the back of the line then. My teacher used the loud hailer to inform everyone to settle down quickly as a few of my of my classmate were very slow and always like to chat as they went into the queue. I was trying to ask my friends where they were during recess but they could not answer my question because a teacher told me to keep quiet and then my friends started to giggle. They were very happy that I received a scolding.

When I was in class, I wrote a note to my friend because I did not want to distract the teacher’s attention. I asked my friend where they were during recess and they said they were in the library because it was the first day of the fasting month. I was embarrassed because I had forgotten it was the first day of the fasting month.
