Personal Narrative Essay: Locker In High School

Improved Essays
I was shuffled back from lunch through the crowded hall of students coming back from lunch as well. I was eager to get to my friends locker as he had been giving candy to everyone the whole week and I was ready to get my share of candy from him. It was thursday and I wasn’t going to be at school that Friday because I was going to Indiana for my brother’s lacrosse tournament.
So I had to get candy at all costs or else I wouldn’t get any, being in 7th grade at the time I thought that the candy was a pretty big deal. Growing impatient I started to pull on his locker to open it thinking that nobody could see me as there was a large crowd of people around me waiting for candy also. I pried the locker open and everyone stampeded towards the backpack

Previously that week he had been handing out candy to people and I hadn’t gotten any yet. So after lunch I decided it was a good time to go and get some candy. There was a large crowd of kids surrounding his locker waiting for him to get back from lunch. I was one of them. I made my way through the students to the locker. I decided that the teachers couldn’t see me so started prying at the locker which was jammed with old coats and lots of trash so it wasn’t properly latched shut. I pulled hard then suddenly the locker burst open and i began grabbing candy. The other students did the same as they stampeded towards the locker grabbing every last bit of candy in the locker. I crawled out from the crowd of students with candy in my pockets and I wasn’t worried about getting in trouble as I wasn’t going to be at school the next day because I was going to …show more content…
and I was anxiously waiting for the bell to ring at 3:00 P.M. then I could start my short walk home. When the bell rang I slowly got up and grabbed my heavy backpack filled with books and binders. I notified the principal that I was leaving and walked out the doors. As I slowly walked down the plain gray sidewalk I had pity towards myself for my actions. When I got home I went right up to my bedroom and got under my large warm covers. Waiting for the merciless punishments that were to come in the next hour. I wondered what drove me to make the decisions that I did. As my mom walked through the screeching garage door I prepared for the worst. Then to my surprise my mom calmly instructed me to come downstairs. I did as she directed and went downstairs. I shuffled over to her and she asked me to sit down. I sat down right next to her on our dark green couch. She uttered to me asking why I would do something terrible like had done. I mumbled “ I don’t know.” She mentioned how I used to be such a great kid and how sweet I was. She then began to tell me that she wasn’t mad at me but that she was disappointed because she knew that It was like me to do what I

    James and I just stared at each other for a few seconds with blank expressions. I decided to remind my mother that James and I had been asleep until she had awoken us and brought us to this cold, white basement. I made sure to let her know that James and I had been well behaved and hadn’t broken anything like other times we had visited places. My mother sniffled and giggled at me; she then said that I didn’t need to worry, we weren’t getting in trouble. My mother then asked if it was okay for her to explain why we were hiding in this basement and why we left so late at night.…

    I was nervous the whole class; I knew that as soon as my math class was over I would have to go deal with my incompetent research and give a poor speech and maybe fail the class. As soon as the school bell rang I knew that I was sentenced to be the weird kid that was a failure in life as I was walking slowly through the cramped yet lonely halls I was thinking of the ways the other kids would make fun of me, maybe they would laugh at me because I stutter, maybe because I was sounding stupid, and all that pressure would make me pee in front of every one including that girl I liked, it was terrible. The classroom was on my eyesight, I could feel how the temperature was getting lower as I got closer to the freezing cold classroom, Ms. Lisa was there waiting for us smiling the same way a butcher smiles when it sees new fresh meat. I couldn’t believe that I was getting closer to that slaughter house. My hands started to sweat and my feet to shiver my heart was about to implode, and then out of nowhere my feet stopped and I forgot how to walk.…
