Something that I miss

I miss Jefferson. I miss Sneaking into the hallways after school just to go to the bathroom. I miss throwing rock hard sausages across the table at lunchtime. I miss getting yelled at for wrestling all the boys at recess. I miss knowing every person in my grades last name. I miss going camping with my class. I miss the final moment when we finish a challenge and the whole class is screaming and hugging each other. I miss random parents offering to drive me home because we all know each other. I miss holidays when your whole class spent the day eating snacks and chatting with each other. I miss parents buying pizza for everybody after rainy field trips. I miss staying after school to chat with our teacher and work on homework. I miss the first day of school when everybody can't stop shouting over each other. I miss Mr.Curtis coming into the classroom and telling us he found more plastic utensils in the toilet. I miss racing 10 kids to one swing at recess. I miss the last day of fifth grade when we all went to a bar with the parents and danced and partied until midnight. I miss having that community, that love, hat knowledge that so many people cared about you.
