Chapter 3 – Trouble in Class
The next day, after lessons had started, before Anna walked in, she greeted the teacher and wanted to go to her seat, but the teacher said,
Teacher: Hey young lady, why are you coming this hour now? Don’t you know late coming is highly prohibited in this school?
Anna: Ehm, sorry sir.
Teacher: Sit down.
Anna: Thank you, sir.
On her way in someone held her leg and she fell. The whole class started laughing and the teacher quickly turned and asked,
Teacher: Anna, where are you going?
Alex: She is sleep-walking.
Winnie: Oh baby elephant sleeps a lot.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Anna: I know you don’t want to be my seatmate, but I am very sorry for that and I’m very happy to share a desk with the school best dancer.
Alex was amused.
Alex: Baby hippo, have you ever seen a hippo dance before? Moreover, this practical assigned to us, do you think I can make it?
Anna: Why?
Alex: ’Cause I am the only one that can dance here and I can’t even compose a song, talk more of singing.
Anna: But I can… but…
She dropped her head down, saying,
Anna: Oh, I have lost my voice, must find another partner. Only Winnie is the only qualified one that can sing.
Anna blinked her eyes and moved her bag from the front desk and placed it down next to her. Alex sat down next to her.
Within two minutes, the English teacher came in and asked Alex why he was not in school yesterday.
Alex: I… I… something came up, an emergency.
Teacher: What is the emergency? Hope it is solved, right?
Alex: Yes ma.
The teacher was about to turn to the board when she noticed Anna and pointed at her.
Teacher: You are the new girl transferred from Winner High School, right?
Anna: Yes ma.
Teacher: OK, that is good. You are highly welcome to our humble school.
Anna: Thank you ma.
Teacher: OK, alright, back to business. Our topic today is summary writing.
