This sweet breath of peace was enough to keep me relatively sane for most of the school day. I could piddle about by myself‚ swing on a swing‚ and just be a plain kid. Every now and then I would even hang out with my older brother if he was not too busy. Being two grades ahead of me‚ Colton and I shared the same lunch and recess. However
