Why I Was Late

It was a Monday. 

My alarm went off late. 

So I quickly got up got, got dressed and headed to school. On my way I stopped at Brutons to get a pasty. 

Yet when I stepped out all was quiet; there wasn't a vehicle or a person to been seen anywhere. I thought I was going crazy, was I walking to school on a Sunday? I was sure my mobile phone said it was Monday.

I carried on walking.

I heard big footsteps from somewhere behind me. I didn't look around because it was kind of scary walking to school on my own. 

But I kept walking.

A huge shadow was cast over me. I started walking faster.

Yet I had to sneak a look behind me. 

As I turned my head and in the corner of my eye I saw a ginormous kangaroo. I have never ran so fast in my life... and that was why I was late for school on Monday.
