I think we would have gotten along well if we were in the same class haha, god, my school days were a bit wild too, my school was a bit rough, an all-boys catholic school, which little metalhead me hated, then eventually I realised that I could just not go in. My mate still laughs about how I'd not be in assembly but would stroll into class at 1:30, then maybe just be gone by the time our last one started. Then I dropped out completely at 17. As I got older I missed it.
Also, I'm so happy for growing up in the 90s /00s, we were 100% the last generation to truly be kids. Playing outside, staying out as late as we could telling ghost stories, or hanging out in our bases, sometimes overnight.
One of the things I miss most though is playing with/ making up scenes with my star wars figures, the imagination I had is something I've always tried to hold onto.
