Freshly scrubbed faces
some freshly put-on makeup
blurry eyes
and morning mouth
(even though teeth have already
been brushed)

The exclamation of:
I didn't know we had homeowork !
and the startled looks
that accompany it

The realization that theres
a test third hour
And giggles as a certain person
walks by

These are the signs that show
its before first hour
on the first day of school
