Showcase - "verbose" - Akshay

Today in the assembly our headmistress gave a lecture on discipline. She said that we have to walk in line, stand only on the left side of the corridor. She even told us why we have to walk on the left side. We were bored while the head mistress was explaining every word in detail. After we went back to class, a group of kids from my grade started a rumor that the head mistress was verbose because she wanted to skip a meeting.

How many of you identify with what Akshay has written about? 
After reading this, did you have a smile on your face? That smile is not just because of the humor Akshay has injected at the end but also because this situation is probably very familiar to many of you. Or could it be that maybe it was you that 'started this rumor' at some point in time? :)
Akshay has made a connection with the reading audience in this piece.
The meaning of the word 'verbose' is definitely clear and it ends with a bang. 
Good writing, Akshay!
