"Where is it? Faster! Are you sure he had put it in this pocket?" my friend, Aaron, urged me as he wiped away beads of cold sweat that rolled down his freckled face. We were in the classroom during recess, rummaging through our friend, Tony's bag for his new Gameboy.
Tony had brought his new Gameboy to school secretly and shown it to his close friends in a corner at the school canteen, not realising that Aaron and I were walking past. The Gameboy did not escape our attention. We had wanted that Gameboy for a long time. We knew that this was our chance. We decided to spring into action during recess, when not a single soul would be in sight.
Finally, after what seemed like eternity, I found the Gameboy, which was hidden in a secret compartment of the bag. Swift as wind, i stuffed it into my back pocket. Then, we walked out of the classroom casually to assemble at the basketball court after recess.
What a close shave! We heaved a huge sigh of relief as we walked out to the basketball court, thinking we had got off scot-free. Just then, i felt a tap on my shoulder. My first instinct was to run! Unfortunately, the hand grabbed me tightly by my collar. I looked beside me; Aaron had met with the same fate as me, too. Tentatively, we looked behind us. To our horror, it was our form teacher, Mr Tay! Are we being caught red-handed?
"What is that thing bulging out of your pocket?" asked Mr Tay, noticing the Gameboy that was bulging out of my pocket. Filled with trepidation, I pulled out the Gameboy from my pocket and handed it to Mr Tay with my trembling hands.
"What is this?" Mr Tay asked Aaron and I. Our lips formed the words though our voice did not spoke them. By then, a small crowd of pupils had gathered around us, looking and pointing at us. Our face turned beetroot with embarrassment.
Out of the blue, someone shouted from the crowd shouted, "Hey, that is mine!". Everybody gasped in shock. As a result, Aaron and I, together with Tony, were sent to the principal's office. Aaron and I were reprimanded for stealing Tony's belongings. We were let off with a stern warning. We also got detention and a written letter to our parents. After apologising profusely to Tony, we went back to class.
As for Tony, his Gameboy was confiscated by our discipline mistress, Mdm Lee, as it was against the school rules to bring electronic devices to school.
This incident will forever be etched in my memory. Till now, I can still remember every single thing that happened that day, even the details...
