I had got into the habit of playing truant most Friday afternoons. I had managed to get away with it so far because Friday afternoon was sports day and my class was always split into two. One half went to play rugby and the other went to play football. It was a simple matter to make both sports teachers believe I was with the other group. Usually, I spent the afternoon sitting under an old oak tree in a field not far from the school grounds. I had chosen the spot mostly because I was certain it was the last place anyone would look for me. I was relaxing in the sun when, suddenly, I heard a deep voice behind me exclaim, "I suppose you thought you would get away with it forever, Colin!". I leapt to my feet. It was Mr. Evans, the rugby coach. "A clever lad like you should have known, however, that it was only a matter of time before you got caught." "I...ahh ...I ...," I stuttered. I was so shocked at being discovered that couldn`t speak. Contrary to Mr Evans` beliefs, I hadn`t expected this. "The thing that puzzles me is why someone who is so good at sport would want to miss PE class," said Mr Evans. "Would you care to explain what on earth is going on?" A number of excuses ran through my mind but I quickly rejected them all. It was better to say nothing, apologise and hope for the best. After all, Mr Evans was known in school for being one of the more openminded teachers. "I`ve not missed any other lessons, Sir. Honest. I`m really sorry. It won`t happen again." Mr Evans eyed me closely. "You`re right, Colin. It won`t. Because from now on I`ll be keeping a close eye on you. You will be at rugby practice at 4 o`clock sharp every Friday afternoon without fail." "Yes Sir." "Now, because this is so out of chracter, I`m not going to tell the Headmaster about this. But one more slip up and he will be informed. Understand?" "Yes Sir. Than you, Sir. I`ll never miss class again, I promise." We walked back to school, talking about our favourite rugby teams as if nothing had happened. At school, Mr Evans sent me to put on my rugby kit so I could join my classmates for the second half of the match. From that day on, I never missed another class. And, true to his word, Mr Evans never told anyone about me truancy.
