Adventure
(Julie Imeson)
At one particular boarding school, which will remain nameless, I developed my own particular skills for climbing. This came in very useful when I had decided enough was enough. All the staff reemployed from over seas. It was quite common to be sworn at in many different languages. Well here was my exit strategy. One night during the winter I decided to climb out of third floor bathroom window. I shut the window with my foot and then yanked myself up the drainpipe, and then I proceeded to grab the guttering and eventually crept into a crevice. I was ten years of age and really had no since of fear do heights. Eventually the alarmed was raised that I was missing. This is when the next drama unfolded. The police were called out with tracker dogs. All the staff was asked to search the school and grounds. The school was situated in the middle of the countryside so everyone had to carry out an extended search. Eventually I heard the police say they would have to call off he search until daylight. When I heard this it filled me with dread. I decided to roll a tile off the roof. At this point all the torches shown my way. "It is me Julie" I was asked if they got a ladder could I climb down it? On this occasion I was freezing could and could not move. Then the fire and rescue service was called to carry me down. When I reached the ground, the police officer said well Julie what did you do that for? Well I be unhappy here, there sear at you in every language. I no more swear word then English and proceeded to demonstrate my point. I am unhappy here. Why can't I go home and be sent to any old village school? The next day my few belongings were packed. The head teacher drove me at top speed in silence to my home address where I belonged.
