Nobody at school noticed I was gone. I wasn’t gone for long, but still, not a single person noticed. Not any of the teachers and certainly not any of the other kids in my class. They never notice me. But today, that is okay. I was back for the end of lunchtime, having ran all the way to school from that shed. The faster I ran, the more I got scared about how much trouble I was in, and that made me try to run even faster. I was out of breath by the time I sneaked back into school, and I’m still sweating a bit now as I sit here in the classroom and try to concentrate on what Mrs Smith is saying.
Tense?
