School

I was dreaming that I was in school, all kids were walking to their classrooms, and our class as always had to wait outside the classroom sitting on a bench. No one did know the exact reason, but the teacher was sitting and waiting with us till it was 5 minutes past lessons beginning. And every time we were waiting, one boy that used to go in our class suddenly arrived with a train, came very close to our teacher and waited. So the teacher asked – come on, go ahead, tell me what you have done. The boy always got red, was hesitant to say anything, after few minutes he said few things. As always our teacher was disappointed, he sent him back to home and told him to re-do everything. Boy was completely red and sad and went away. I was wondering why he was so mean to him, he actually was trying. One day, as usual everyone was going to their classrooms and we were waiting on the bench for our lesson. The boy came again but this time he opened his laptop and there was written so much information on one page, usually there was just few lines of text. So the boy seemed very confident, he started his presentation but he did bad. He said that it was a hard year, and he is trying. He waited for teacher’s response, but he stayed quite. The boy again blushed and went away. After that I sneaked to teachers computer were he saved boy’s work and red his text. There were a lot of bullet points which stated why he had a bad year. There was written such a thing as – my mum got really sick, we have a big debt, I had to work in free time so we have money for food, my mom got a cancer, our house got robbed and so on. I got really sorry for the boy. One day I went home from school and I saw the boy with his mother. They were standing next to a big lake and both had ice skates on. The mother said that the boy doesn’t come with her, but he answered that he wanted to see what she is going through. She was earning money by going over the lake and spending night in the other side, I couldn’t understand how that actually works. So they both got ready, took a jump at a start, because the ice on the lake had melted in the shore. Some how I was following them even though I was not present, like in movies, like watching others from TV screen. So they were skating to the other side, but I already saw that the ice is too thin. Suddenly it started to brake, and no way they could get out of this. But I took a glance at the shore and I saw a cow, it was like a sign that in a miraculous way they’re going to make it. And in the end they actually did. Both were soaked wet, it was freezing outside. They found a place on the snow were mother was staying before, there was few blankets, nothing very warm. Mother took of her sweater and trousers climbed into the “bed”, called the boy, hugged him and covered themselves with the blanket. I was left wondering, shouldn’t they both take of their wet clothes, or maybe they should keep them on, because later they need them dry to get out of there.
