This time the prompt was ‘It Was Heavier Than I had Expected’. It was also about my exhibition but it was optional. Hope you enjoy it.

Last term, I was being deeply bullied with discrimination so I moved this school. I believed in the past that there was already enough weight on my shoulders. I was wrong.

This term I had already made friends,  Johnny, Donnie and Frank, who called themselves ‘The Gangstar Gang’. However, they wanted to skip school. I wanted to study and finish but they placed pressure on me to go. I had the time of my life. I knew it was wrong.

Later, they bought cigarettes. I remembered what Dad told me and said No!

‘’ If I didn’t take cigarettes, I would be banished.’’

The words were heavier than I expected.
