I had two hours for lunch; sometimes I ate in the lunchroom and sometimes go out of the school to eat. I had a lot partners them and me love to make crazy the teacher with our jokes. I used a uniform like a skirt or jumper and blouse, black shoes. The girls used a ponytail or long loose hair, the boys some had long hair and other used the style add that moment.
