Fear

By Samantha Bonasera
Chelsea Public School

Hands clapping
Feet stomping
Hundreds of eyes beaming down at you
Your heart beats pumping faster and faster
Their big smiles, your big smile
It feels like you have to walk a mile, just to get a light flashing
Five more feet, splat
No more clapping, no more stomping, silence
You look up, then look down
Your knuckles start to clench together
Laughter and giggles appear in your ears
You slowly get up
Shake it off and grab the piece of paper with your name on it
Walking away quickly
You think to yourself
What a great reward
