High School wasn't a total waste of time series

Sleeping on roof at the football field

The cool spring Utah breeze was beating on our faces as we headed to our destination for the evening, the Riverton High School Football Field. We gazed across the empty field contemplating where we would spend the night. The track mats that we slept on last week were put away forcing us to rescind on our initial plan. The 50yard line looked inviting until, like clockwork, the sprinklers began to moisten the dirt. Then a light bulb went on, and we simultaneously gazed at the announcer booth and noticed its roof was flat. We ventured closer and found a way to the top of the edifice. As we climbed to the top, we gazed across the Utah valley. The temples had just dimmed their lights and the stars were shining brightly. We settled into our sleeping bags gazing at the starry sky, when a bright line flashed from the parking lot.
Without making much movement we focused our attention at the light. It was a police officer looking at our strategically stupid-placed vehicle in the parking spot nearest the football field. We thought we were for sure busted. The officer stepped out of his police cruiser and began to venture our direction. He was a portly gentleman. I instantly knew I could outrun him if the opportunity presented itself. We were sure he didn't see us as we kept crouched down with our eyes fixed on him as if we were African zebras getting ready to run from our prey. The lazy officer did a quick look and determined the premises to be vacant. We all gave a sigh of relief as the cruiser left the parking lot.
The next morning, we woke up with the early sun beaming on our faces. The school parking lot was full and school was going to start in the next ten minutes or so. As we got up, nature called, and we decided to take advantage of our high vantage point. Our early morning school lesson taught us the science of streaming liquid and the effects gravity has on it. We were grateful the wind hadn't begun to blow. Just as we were making our way off our rooftop habitat, the school Principal came running out, we apparently didn't see the school surveillance camera's vantage point that morning.
