Tell me why, in high school,

every time I would leave the classroom,

it could be any period,

any time of the day,

you step out the classroom and it was always the same 7 kids out there wandering around the hallways.

You got the absentee avengers out here posted up.

In fact, if you didn't see one of the regulars out there,

you wouldn't even think they were in class,

you just assumed they were at home that day.

How are you gonna show up absent for being absent?

And you already know, they got the worst,

most non-believable excuses ready to go for Or when the golf car security pulls up on them.

Other than that, they're trying to sneak around the hallways.

They were really out here playing real life Pac-Man.

And they were always just randomly spawning outside your class.

You'd see them through the little window,

staring at the class on the other side with a devious grin.

Like why are you never in class bro?

And everyone sees them but the teacher.

The teacher would take forever to catch on talking about what are you guys all looking at?

Although I can't lie, if you were ever wandering the halls,

it was just something about walking past the classroom and you see the homie inside,

you just had to go up to the window and cause a disturbance.

Something on the inside would feel incomplete if you didn't.

I remember I took this class called Media one year.

It was in one of the school's computer labs and the whole class,

every day, was basically a do whatever you want on the computers for an hour type of class.

There was definitely never homework.

In fact, at least once a week,

the teacher, he would just throw up a movie on the projector,

call it a day, so nobody was skipping that class.

I mean you were already skipping class just by signing up for that class.

And so what it turned into was the class

that everybody else who skipped class would just congregate in to have a place to chill.

Especially because the teacher, he did not care at all.

He would let whoever come through.

Anybody and everybody.

No questions asked.

All he was concerned with was pressing play on Shrek and then relaxing himself.

That's crazy.

I've never seen a teacher skip his own class before.

Shout out to bro.

But there were random kids in that class every day.

I'd walk in and wonder,

you know, who's going to show up today?

Only class I've seen with 110% attendance rate.

So them hallway hoppers, that was their HQ.

It was the hall roamer convention every day in that room.

But the most wild skipping class incident I have ever witnessed,

which blew my mind when I saw this.

And this goes way beyond just simply skipping class

because in high school I played golf for the school right

and one day we had a golf match against a prison school

which is kind of a wild situation to begin with

because my school is one of the smaller ones in the district

so I guess they put us in the prison school in the same division.

So we were hitting the course with kids

that were doing grand theft auto and grand larceny and things of

that nature and it was on that day I found out the prison school even had a golf team.

So we pull up to the course right we get in our groups

and start the match and in the group that I was playing with,

it was myself and my teammate,

a kid from a third school,

and then a kid from the prison school,

and his name was Bruno.

And this match, I remember we were playing way on this far out remote course,

somewhere in the middle of the desert,

took us forever to get there,

so we were out in the boonies.

And the way these golf matches worked is they didn't give us golf carts,

so instead you would walk the whole course with your group,

and the coaches would stop by maybe once every 30 minutes just to check in,

watch a couple shots, and then drive off to a different group.

So aside from that, nobody else was really watching you,

it was just you and your group walking in this huge field of grass and dirt out in the middle of nowhere.

So we're golfing with Bruno

and look I don't know what bro did to find himself incarcerated

but he was a cool guy at least on that day and he was telling us all about jail school.

He's like yeah the only reason I even joined the golf team was

so I could leave that place and be out on the outside for once.

Now we're like 45 minutes into the match we're on maybe the fourth hole

when Bruno is like yeah anyways guys I wish you all the best in life But as for me, I'm out.

And then proceeded to drop his bag of clubs in the dirt and just started walking away.

And he just kept walking and walking and walking until he disappeared.

Bro literally disappeared into the horizon.

The three of us are standing there looking at each other like ain't no way.

But could you blame him?

This man saw his chance for freedom and took it.

Forget about skipping class.

This man skipped the entire prison sentence.

Not gonna lie though, they probably found him like two days later at a Burger King

or something at which point he was most likely promptly removed from the golf team

and to be honest they might have just removed the golf team as a whole at

that point because after that incident they did not show up on the schedule again.

I remember my senior year of high school I only had three classes left

that I needed to graduate

but I guess they had a bare minimum amount of hours you had to be at school every day

so they had me choose a couple filler classes to make those hours up.

So my friend Omar, who was in the same situation,

100

and myself decided to take gym class as one of our filler classes.

101

Now, once the school year started,

102

we found out that our gym period was the period right before lunch.

103

And the problem with that was that the gym was on the direct opposite corner of the entire campus from the cafeteria.

104

Like out of every singular building,

105

these were the two that were the furthest apart from each other.

106

So of course, that meant that our entire class would be getting to the cafeteria, dead last.

107

We'd pull up, the line is out the doors,

108

and then by the time you did get to the front,

109

all the somewhat tolerable food was gone and you'd be stuck with mystery meet surprise,

110

and then you spent so long waiting in line anyways,

111

half your lunch was over by the time you did get your food.

112

It was just an all around bad situation.

113

So after many times of going through that,

114

our class, we got fed up.

115

We start thinking and plotting.

116

How can we start skipping out on gym class early

117

so we can get a head start on this walk across the entire campus to the cafeteria,

118

get some decent food.

119

You know, you finish gym class then you still have the cross country component.

120

They really put a bonus round on the end.

121

But the thing with gym class is the teacher sent us

122

back to the locker rooms the last 10 minutes of the period to change in shower

123

so it would actually be pretty easy to leave early straight from the locker room except for the fact

124

that after we did this a couple of times,

125

our gym teacher, she starts to catch on and she did not like that.

126

So she put a stop to that immediately,

127

said she was going to start handing out lunch detentions to anybody who tried to skip out of the locker room early.

128

She actually created a rule,

129

she allowed us to step outside the locker room,

130

but there were these water fountains on the wall.

131

She said

132

if she ever caught anybody past the water fountains before the

133

bell dismissed us then you could forget about any lunch at all

134

because you were gonna spend your whole lunch period in lunch detention.

135

And so she would watch us.

136

But she wouldn't be watching us every single second

137

because she would be in the girls locker room 50 yards down the sidewalk.

138

However, she would pop her head out of their door but at random moments,

139

you know, do a quick look around just to make sure everybody was behind her water fountain line.

140

So if you were bold enough,

141

you could try and make a run for it could risk it for the biscuit, literally.

142

Now, if you thought you could time it correctly,

143

you had to sprint out past the water fountains,

144

past the girls' locker room,

145

without her popping her head out and doing a random check.

146

The problem was, even after you crossed the long sidewalk,

147

you still weren't done, because then there was this little parking lot area they kept these little buses at,

148

which was still in view from the locker room.

149

So you had to make your way through all of that,

150

and then after the buses,

151

the hallway started it up again and you could disappear into there and you'd be safe.

152

It was like a three-legged thing

153

because there were definitely a few kids who tried to make a run for it and got caught right in the act.

154

I remember one time this one kid he was fed up he's like whatever I'm just gonna book it.

155

This man starts flying down the sidewalk he's making his way through the buses

156

and he was so close to freedom at

157

which point she cracked open the door swiveled her head around caught him right in the act.

158

She yelled loud down the sidewalk told him he could turn around

159

and run right back and he spent his lunch in lunch detention.

160

So it was basically all or nothing.

161

You either escape and have a good lunch or get caught and get no lunch.

162

It was like playing roulette with your lunch period.

163

But I remember one day came around.

164

It was like a Friday,

165

only a month before the school year ended.

166

There was a group of like 15 of us that were thinking about just running for it.

167

We're looking out at the journey ahead,

168

trying to assess the risk.

169

But we were just fed up.

170

So everybody agreed you know what let's just all make a run for it together

171

so we were either all getting caught or all getting away

172

so we're there by the water fountain keeping an eye on

173

that locker room door and we decide

174

that on the count of three we're just gonna book it sprint for dear life

175

and hope we make it to the hallways

176

so we all get ready omar was there lined up to the right

177

and this one kid he counts down from three

178

and we all just start sprinting

179

so we're running running down the sidewalk there were a few

180

people in front of me a few people behind me

181

so i passed the locker room door which was checkpoint number one

182

and I'm not gonna lie not even two seconds after I passed

183

that door it was a big heavy metal door right I hear it crack open it was loud

184

when it opened I didn't even look I just heard it

185

I was like oh nah we failed the mission this was a horrible idea

186

and I don't know about whoever was behind me

187

but I was right next to the buses at this point so I hopped behind one of those.

188

Omar was right there as well so he got behind one to the left

189

and I just hoped that we were quick enough

190

that she didn't see us and I was feeling pretty hopeful

191

that she didn't because I can't see anything but I hear her.

192

She starts yelling at all the individuals that were stuck out in the open and yeah she was off of something different.

193

She's going crazy.

194

She was out for blood yelling.

195

She's like everybody up against the wall.

196

You're all getting lunch detention.

197

One kid, he just kept on running.

198

I think he figured, hey,

199

the year is over in three weeks.

200

I'm just going to keep going.

201

Took a page out of Bruno's playbook.

202

But everybody else caught a bad break.

203

So I'm behind the bus listening to all the commotion.

204

She's yelling at everybody to get up against the wall.

205

Now, at this point, I decide to peek around the corner of the bus just to get a visual of the situation.

206

And I remember there was a portable storage unit in front of the girl's locker room right there.

207

Some kid was trying to hide behind that, but she was smart.

208

She noticed him.

209

She saw his shadow sticking out from it,

210

checked behind it, caught him,

211

had him line up against the wall.

212

And so I'm there, stuck, hiding behind this bus.

213

The hallway is too out in the open to try and run over there,

214

but I'm feeling like I'm safe at this point.

215

I'm just hoping she doesn't see my feet beneath the bus or something and I get found out like storage unit kid.

216

I look over at Omar he's standing there frozen looking dead straight ahead.

217

I swear he had a drop of sweat falling down the side of his head.

218

And so she had like eight or nine people rounded up against the wall

219

and she's yelling at them going crazy when I decide to take a second peek around the corner.

220

And I'm looking around the bus

221

when one of my classmates came out of the girls locker room probably to see what all the commotion was.

222

And as I'm watching the teacher go in on everybody this

223

girl notices me peeking around the bus made direct eye contact with each other.

224

So we both noticed each other

225

and then she snitched on me threw me under the bus

226

no pun intended she's like miss teacher you missed somebody look at him over there

227

and so now she already knew so i had to give myself up at

228

that point before she started walking over there and found omar too

229

because he was still cool behind his spot

230

but me myself i had to give myself up got in line next to all the other delinquents

231

and that's what i get for being curious

232

so yeah i think a couple people made it to the hallways omar was able to stay hidden

233

but the rest of us mission failed in catastrophic fashion and

234

that kid that ran away anyways i don't know what the plan was there

235

because he still had to come back to class after the weekend him

236

and bruno are not slick

237

but yeah that's all for this video guys i appreciate the

238

wait on your guys's part for this one these past months

239

i've been working to solidify a team to help with the videos

240

so that's what i've been up to but i will say i do have another video in the vault ready to go.

241

So that one will probably be out within a couple weeks of this one.

242

So as always, thank you guys for watching.

243
