My friend, the dinner lady`s niece, did get a bit cheeky arguing that we weren’t being naughty but we duly faced the wall for about 10 seconds before my friend hissed `Come on` and shot off around the corner, I and my other friend didn’t even think about it we were also off with the poor dinner lady`s cries of `girls!` ringing in our ears. We were giggling and running around the buildings (mostly out of bounds again) I knew we were being naughty but it did seem such good fun I certainly didn’t consider the consequences.
