On a few Saturday nights at school there is a bar. Bar is what some people at school spend their week looking forward too, planning outfits and buying cheap vodka to drink beforehand. It lasts from 9.30 to 11.00 and within the school rules you are allowed two beers. There is usually a DJ employed by the school to play some chart music that really, you wouldn’t even suffer the radio to listen to.  This Saturday was no different a bar themed with classic movies for each house, for example St. Tinian’s for one girls house another went as Mario Cart not that that is a movie… Anyway, this Saturday, now that I am 18, Ella and I and two other friends went out for supper. We went to the pub beforehand for a pint before getting to the restaurant, Café Vin Cinq, we went upstairs to the cocktail lounge and the girls had a cocktail whilst I had a cool Corona with a slice of lime. We were then showed our table which was by the window, ironically looking out towards the OBS. Although all we could see was the old school wall we knew that what was inside was the sweaty and tragic affair that is Bar. Whilst the people in there were attempting to get rowdy and mosh pit with disapproving teachers looking on we ordered a bottle of red and chose our main courses. The two girls ordered lamb ribs whilst Ella and I shared a steak (it was very expensive!) we had a thoroughly enjoyable supper in great company and managed to get back to house without falling into a bush or being pushed over!
