There was one sound every kid recognized.
Not the bell.
Not the announcements.
The squeak of those metal wheels coming down the hallway.
You'd hear it before you saw it, and suddenly nobody cared about fractions, spelling, or whatever worksheet was sitting on the desk. It didn't even matter what was on the TV.
A documentary. A cartoon. A movie. A random educational filmstrip.
It was different.
For the next hour, school felt less like school.
Funny how a television on a rolling cart could instantly become the most popular thing in the building.
