Unconquered Peaks

The bell rings (or at least metaphorically, because we don’t actually have a bell anymore). Your teacher doesn’t understand that even one minute of lateness has the potential to disrupt the entirety of your break-time canteen routine. You are released. Without realising, your stride gradually changes from a walk to a run. The power of the canteen now has a grip on you. Past the self-providing snack students you go, whist tripping up staff along the way and not holding the door for anyone. Crucially, you avoid eye contact that might spark conversation – keep your head down. Food is the priority, forget manners. In fact, just leave your moral compass in the pit, there are sausage rolls and steak here.
