I had looked out the classroom window all day. I couldn’t wait to get out of school.

I was excited about springtime and I wanted to play outside.

I ran home from school to play. Running made me HOT. I was in a hurry because I saw my friends outside making plans.

After school Worried that I would miss something or my friends would start without me.

I got shorts from the drawer to cool off. I changed too quickly.
