Zimpa is late for school

(Based on True Events)

It was a winter morning when I woke up for college. That day, I was already late as it was only one hour left before the bus had to pick me up. I did not wanted to go but I had a project submission which could not have been delayed. The hot shower was not working, so, it took me half an hour to have a cold shower. I got dressed up in in five minutes. “Where are my glasses?”, I asked myself when only twenty five minute were remaining. “Today, I’ll have to go without spectacles.”, I told myself. Without spectacle, Everything was very blur to me. Somehow, I was able to find my sunscreen and wore it. Finding a comb was an easy puzzle. It was ten minutes left when I finally found my spectacles. Now, I had to look at the mirror. What I saw vibrated my amygdala like an old cellphone. It was clear that what I thought was sunscreen, was actually women makeup foundation. My brown skin appeared white like I am playing a vampire for Vampires Diary. I ran straight to the bathroom as washed my face as hard as I could as only 7 minutes were left. “Why doesn’t it come off?”, I shouted. I turned on my PC to access the internet which took one minute to turn on. “I am running out of time and I can not go like this.”, I told myself. My Windows XP just finished all the turning on processes, so, I could access the internet now. “Scrub any oil and then wash it off”, a link said. “Only 2 minutes are left, I can run so fast to the market, then buy some oil then wash it off in the public bathroom”, I thought. Luckily, the market was just across the street. I managed to get there and buy some oil and scrub it. But, the public bathroom was out of water. I was standing in the middle of the street with a mixture of oil and a women foundation on my face. Still, 50 seconds were left, when I bought a water bottle from the market washed my washed right there. “Finally, I am relieved”, I told myself. The bus had arrived and I got in. “You smell like a burned Sandwich”, my friend said. I figured out that I had ran so fast, that my sweat and the oil had mix up and smelled very bad. I managed to pass the project and came back home.
Later that day, I told the whole story to my sister. “You just had to put a little lotion and then wash it”, she replied. The bottle of lotion was just beside the sunscreen. Today, it has been 10 years and I always wake up early. I never married, so that, I never mix up things with any woman, ever again.
