During Morning Assembly

This morning the principal says to all the students, “Sports day has been preponed. Instead of being on Saturday, it will be this Wednesday.”

There is a lot of excited chatter from all of the students.

Facing me is Kiran who’s standing toward the front of the 6A boys’ line. His face is contorted in disgust. Kiran, a star reporter of the newspaper club, says to me as he drapes his arms around Rabsel, “Club keeps getting cancelled.”

I say to him sympathetically, “I know,” and beam inside. I love this kid.
