My name is Betty．I'm a student in Hawaii School．Yesterday morning it was very sunny when I woke up．I looked at the alarm clock．It said 3:50! It had stopped! What time was it? I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen．The kitchen clock said 8:30 — I was late! My parents had gone to work without checking if I got up．The school bus went at 8:00．I had missed it．

     I called my teacher on his mobile phone．

     "I'm sorry I got up late, but I'll get to school as soon as I can!" I said．

     "Go to school on my rollerblades （旱冰鞋）," I thought． "It will be faster than the bus． "

     I washed and dressed quickly． I took an apple to eat on the way． That was breakfast today! Then I put on my rollerblades and went to school． It took me 35 minutes to get to the school．I took all the shortcuts （近路） I knew． I went across the park —even through some backyards! When I got to school, I was very hot and my legs hurt．I had missed math, our first lesson of the morning． But I made it to our second lesson, history．I was very happy because history is my favorite subject．
