About twenty of us went for a picnic from school. It was to a picturesque village and we had just finished with our sightseeing. We had stopped and were looking for a place to have lunch. I had this sudden urge to eat ice-cream and as luck would have it, saw a board with ‘RAY’S ICECREAMS’ written on it. Why not have a quick ice-cream, while the team was busy looking for a restaurant? Besides, the bus was stopped and everyone was outside.
I hurried to the ice-cream shop and ordered a double scoop of lemon vanilla flavour. It was heavenly and delicious and the scoops were huge. Once I finished, I went outside and to my horror found that the bus was nowhere in sight! I had left my bag with contact details of my teachers and the bus driver in it! I ran from shop to shop asking about the yellow painted school bus. But no one had a clue! I rushed back to the ice cream shop and asked the shop keeper if he could help me get back home. He was very kind and called his wife, who offered to drop me home in her car - an old model fiat. I was glad as I reached home. Mom and Dad were at work. I immediately called the teachers who were in the bus with me and they were relieved to hear my voice. Upon realising that I was missing, they had turned back to the village, where the ice-cream shop owner told them that I was dropped home. I was really embarrassed and sorry for putting my teachers and the bus driver to trouble. But they were nice and understanding about it, with a note of advice for me – keep your team informed!
It was dark by then and I felt like crying out loud. I swore to myself not to join any picnic in future until I grow up.
Thankfully, Principal Sir had sent out a group of seniors accompanied by some teachers to find me out.
They were calling out my name at the top of their lungs.
Finally, I was tracked down by a group of my seniors and teachers finally and got home together. My heart thumped like a railway engine all this while in fear.
