Never. Stop. Playing
It’s my first day of secondary school and it’s break time.
“We don’t play here” says a voice.
We stop.
Me and a few people I know from my primary school are running about probably making noise, probably in some ‘make believe’ game.
An older girl is looking down at us disgustedly.
We look around.
We get the message.
No one else is running around pretending to be animals. Embarrassing.
We needed to start acting more like everyone else.
I remember that moment for some reason. I remember the concrete steps and walls of Cavendish School. And I remember the sinking feeling. If we can’t play… then what?!
