Question

The life of a quarantined kid

By Alice Perry 7HEB

I feel like a caged cheetah, stuck in my cage, or as I like to call it, my house. My morning starts one hour later than usual as the normal walk into school of mine is no longer possible. How I long to go outside into the sun. Where I would normally be complaining about my school journey, I now miss it. My friends are only visible through my phone and I can see my screen time increasing daily.

As I was saying, I wake up to traipse downstairs to find both my parents on the phone with a glum look on their faces. Going out is no possibility, due to my Dad’s lung problems, so I am missing the outside world. After eating breakfast I make my way up to my room where I find my friends face-timing me already. The monotonous day has begun…

[...] For the first time since the last day of school, my mum says the words I have longed to hear for so long: “I am going out! ”

Sprinting down the stairs I feel my heart jump and a smile fixes itself on my face. After leaving the house reality hit me: masks are on every face and we have to cross the road if anyone comes close to us. So much had changed…

Returning to the house, I wished I was anywhere but here. I remembered that one phrase that had been on loop in my head: “Be careful what you wish for. ”
