I was talking to my partner about my school years, the stupid shit we got up to at my public school, and how it differs from his experience at a private Catholic school (prep to year 12).I remember one of the boys in my French class locking our Mauritian teacher out of the classroom multiple times, then he threw a banana at the ceiling fan causing it to splatter around.
I also remember a fight where one kid picked up a drain cover and smashed it over the head of the other kid.
And Olivia Penpraze. I went to primary school and highschool with her, before she changed schools. We weren't friends, but we have experienced very similar things, and I wonder how close we could have been, and how easily our places could have been swapped.
Just memories and regrets now.
RIP Olivia.
