 A sunny cold day
 That happened on a sunny and warm day in the winter. The tragic day I won’t forget…

“Hey, get up! What time do you think it is! Didn’t you say you have to go to school earlier?” I rubbed my eyes and raised myself in bed with a yawn. Then, the clock told me that what my mother said was true. “Oh! I have entirely overslept! “ In a couple of days, we were having a big event, a school festival. I was one of the members responsible for my class performance and had to go to school earlier to prepare for it. I had no time to put in my contact lenses, so I put on my glasses instead. After putting on school uniform and shouldered my bag in an instance, I rushed out of the house.

When I arrived at school, many students had been working on their own class performance. “Maybe other members are angry at me and complaining!” However, I had something to do before I started my preparations. Running up the stairs, I went in the toilet, for the glasses I was wearing at the time weren’t right for me and I had to put on my contact lenses.

　 When I was struggling with the lens for a while (I was poor at putting it in then!), surprisingly, a girl suddenly came in the toilet with some yellow paint on her hands. After we looked at each other for a moment, she held her breath and went out of the toilet at once. 　 “Wow what is she doing? She must have mistaken this toilet for girls because she was working very hard. Maybe… she really wanted to use it to wash her hands as soon as possible or for maybe any other reasons. Or I thought a boy was a girl because I can’t see very well. Or she likes boys’ toilet better than… Oh, anyway, I had to do what I am doing at once.” 　 After I started my troublesome job several times, I finally managed to put on the lens. “I didn’t think I had to spend so much time. I have to apologize to other members!” 　 I went out of the toilet and ran to my classroom. It was then that something very terrible jumped at my eyes. 　 “Oh my God!” The sign behind me showed me that **I** made a mistake. Yes, it was girls’ toilet! I remembered that girl's confusing face and knew what she wanted to say though she didn’t say anything. “Wow what is he doing!” No wonder she was so surprised. I didn’t know who she was. Anyway, all I could do was hoping that she thought she saw an illusion. I could not help feeling cold at the time, though it was a sunny and warm day.

The day after, I bought a new glasses.
