Ignoring his mother's frantic calls, Greg rushed out of the house. Being late on his first day of school - unbelievable! Greg shook his head in frustration. He was baffled on how he overslept on the most important day of his life as he had clearly remembered setting his alarm clock on 6 a.m. sharp the night before. By the time he heard his alarm clock ringing, it was already 8 a.m.! That left him barely enough time to have a proper breakfast, let alone take a shower and brush his teeth!
With a pathetic attempt to comb his disheveled hair with his hand, Greg panted as he stopped at the 'red man'. Now, the traffic light was not cooperating with him. Unable to wait a few seconds any longer, Greg glanced left and right before running across the road, ignoring the deafening honks and vulgar words hurled at him. He had no time to entertain, his mind was completely focused on not being too late for school as being late was already a given.
Once he was a few feet away from his destination, Greg internally panicked when he noted the front of the school was completely empty...and quiet. Raising his eyebrow in confusion, Greg slowed down his steps and checked his phone for the first time. Greg almost had a heart attack when he saw the date on his phone.
It was Sunday morning.
