Nostalgia
It was late. The back gate was locked with a thick metal chain coupled with an intimidating padlock. The alternative was to exit from the main gate and make a roundabout tour around PP to arrive at the bus stop.
I was lazy. Like a thief, I surveyed the surroundings for human figures. I spotted one in white. A passerby. Oops! I caught her glance! What an amateur! I acted nonchalantly. When she proceeded with her steps and disappeared from my sight, I surveyed the surroundings again. I took the chance and climbed over the gate, as swift as a dove, even though I was in heels.
Hmmm, all the years of practice in college paid off!
I was in exhilaration! Why? Cos I felt oh-so young again! All the nostalgic feelings came flooding back to me! All those late nights. The peace. The thought of just me and maybe a friend for company while studying into the late hours in school. The returning to school on holidays to find the school locked, but no qualms! The skill was put to good use. =) Good times.
No change in me. I'm young as ever. I'm happy.
