The good old days

Do you sometimes wish that you could go back in time? to the time when you were in school where your future seems like a distant dream that you didn't have the time to worry about? Where you were having innocent fun just because?
I often find myself wishing I could go back in time, back to school where it was undoubtedly one of the best times/periods of my life, yep those were the carefree days.
There was this one time where we returned after an inter-school drama competition and we came back to school, 2 other guys and I, we were waiting till the second vehicle comes since our school was going to drop us back home. The overall view of my school was such that, there was the back gate which opened out into the basketball court and obviously near the gate security guards were placed and they were there 24/7. So we came in through the back gate and decided to stay in the basketball court because then we would know when the rest arrived. It was apparent that the rest would take a while to come back and so we like the geniuses we are, decided that we would take pictures with me hanging from the basketball ring. So I climbed onto the shoulders of one of my friends and somehow managed to grab hold of the basketball ring, and so they were taking pictures with their phones, since it was past 8 o'clock in the evening the pictures weren't very clear because of this they took a long time taking pictures. While they were taking the pictures I could hear the ring starting to detach from the board.
"uhmmm....guys i think it's going to break" I told them
But they were too busy taking pictures and told me to hang on for just a bit more, as soon as they said that the ring got detached from the board and I landed on my feet. The security guard hearing the noise came to us and asked what was going on, since we obviously could not tell the truth we told him nothing.
After which he told us to go to the front gate.
For some weird reason he didn't see the basket ball ring which was hanging awkwardly in the board, after telling us to go to the gate he turned and left. As soon as he left, with the help of the two friends we straightened the ring so that it looks like it was attached and we left.
The following morning we came to school to find them fixing the ring and we gave each other sneaky smiles.
This is one of the moments that makes me want to go back to school days but then again, even school life wasn't always pleasant.
But I do sometimes wish I could go back even thought it wasn't always very pleasant it sure as hell is a better time than now where I go to college only to put up with doubled faced backstabbers, at least back in school if people didn't like you they would make it very apparent without you always having to wonder if they are really your friends or not.
