It's Thursday today, my favorite day. It's the day you still have the energy to do something, but also almost weekend. Today, my class is choosing our class rep. I hope some people vote for me because I have always liked leading and organizing. But I probably won't get chosen. I have a few friends, but they are closer to each other than I am. I don't know if they will vote for me. Maybe I should bribe them with some candy. 

I continue doing calculations on how many people will vote for me and how many votes I need, while I'm driving my bike to school. Suddenly, it starts raining and the wind is blowing way too hard. Before I know it, I fall off my bike. Ugh, not today. I get up and try to bike as fast as possible without falling again. 

When I arrive, the lesson has started already and I knock on the door. "Come in.", Mr. Brown says, and I hear he's not very happy. "You have ten seconds to come up with a really good excuse, or I'll have to report you late." Oh no, I have never been too late for school! "I'm sorry Mr. Brown, I fell off my bike because of the bad weather.", I say, embarrassed. I just know Rufina is holding in her laugh. "Well, Sylvan, then you should learn how to bike properly. Everyone else got here in time. Go sit, please, and put away your draining coat. " "It won't happen again, sir," I say.
