Chap. 11 : A Boring Lesson
On their way to the cafeteria, they met up with Kenny.
" Hi Chief !" said Tyson.
" Hi you guys !"
" Have you got us the schedules ?"
" Why of course yes. Here." Said Kenny as he handed out the schedules he got for the groupie. When everyone got theirs, the comparing schedule fever began. Demandings could be heard among the team.
" Lemme see." Said one.
" Me first me first !" cried another.
Everyone were all onto the comparing schedule, everyone except Kai and Carol.
" They're acting like babies." Said a disgusted Kai.
" Not babies. Babies don't talk, dumb. Overgrown, childish teenagers which disgusts me. I never thought that Mariah or Hilary would even act like that. But the worst is Tyson." Said Carol, also disgusted.
" Hey Carol ! Can I see yours ?" asked Hilary in an excited tone and jumping up and down at the same time.
" O.k." replied an uncertain Carol.
" C'mon ! Here !" said Hilary as she tugged Carol off the wall she was leaning and pulled her off to find Mariah and Mariam.
" Good luck mate." Chuckled Kai.
" Good luck to you coz Tyson's coming THIS way." Giggled Carol.
That sentence immediately took the grin off Kai's face. He attempted to run but it failed. Tyson was also dragging Kai along to join the comparing fever.
" What's yours Carol ?" asked Hilary, comparing hers to Carol's, " YAY ! I'm not alone now ! You have the same class and lesson with me. What are gonna take for the free lesson?" asked Hilary. ( You can take anything in free lesson : beyblading, art, basketball etc )
" I'm taking beyblading for sure." Replied Carol.
" Aww. That's too bad. Mariam, Mariah and I are taking art." Said Hilary, a wee bit down.
" Well, I get to sit with you in class don't I ?" cheered Carol up.
( On Kai's side … )
" Well, pal, what's yours." Asked Max.
" Must you know ?" spat Kai.
" Yup. We must know." Said Tyson as he compared his and Kai's.
" Phew. Lucky me. I don't get the same class or lesson with you at all." Said Tyson with relief.
" Yeah. If not you'll be dead." Warned Kai dangerously.
" Your schedule's not the same with any of us. You're all alone Kai." Said Ray.
" Whatever." Said Kai simply.
" Well, you guys continue, I'm gonna have to do something else first." Lied Carol as she ran of before anyone can even say something. The truth was Carol was going to class first in order to save herself from the conversation. She wasn't really a fan of crowds.
' I'll skip breakfast I think. It's not that important anyway.' Thought Carol as she entered the office to get her books before going to class.
" Room 6K room 6K …" she mumbled to herself as she played hide and seek with the classrooms. Finally, she found the right one. When she went in, only some students were there. Seeing that there were many seats left, Carol took a seat at the corner of the classroom and leaving a seat for Hilary. As minutes passed, the classroom was beginning to fill up with students. Soon, Hilary came in. Carol snapped her fingers to let her know that a seat was saved for her.
" Hilary ! Over here !"yelled Carol.
" Thanks for saving me a seat. I thought that I was dead." Said Hilary as she sat down.
" Am I that heartless ?" asked Carol, pretending to look offended.
" Of course you aren't." said Hilary. " By the way, something bad has happened." Whispered Hilary.
" What ?"
" We're having the same class with Kai."
" Oh my GAWD !" said Carol. " Are you sure ?" she asked.
" Positive."
" How did you know ?" asked Carol.
" Peeped at it. The same class and the same lesson."
" What's he taking for free lesson ?"
" Beyblading."
" Oh man ! This is the worst thing that's ever happen to my life !" complained Carol.
In the nick of time, Kai came rushing in seconds before the teacher.
" Morning class, I'm Mr. Keno,( random name ) your new class teacher." He said slowly.( Of course, for an old man, he will be always talking slow. If he talks like lightning, I'll be jumping down from the world's tallest skyscraper already. ) Everyone paid no attention to him. Some were talking, listening to headphones, scribbling notes to each other and bla bla bla.
" Let's begin, shall we ?" asked Mr. Keno.
-
Soon, it was the middle of class already.
" Boy ! This is kiddies stuff." Yawned Carol. " Learnt all of these in Australia last year."
" Yeah. Should have known class'll be so boring. If not, I won't be coming here and I'll be studying Math in Osaka already." Said Hilary, yawning slightly.
" Sheesh ! Still an hour to go until the bell rings." Said Carol as she looked around her for the first time. Everyone were all not paying attention. Many were already either sleeping or half dozing half listening, some were still listening to headphones, only a few were listening to the poor teacher explaining all about Nature. Suddenly, Carol spotted Kai at the other side of the corner sitting by the side of the window quietly. Kai was staring out of the window with a blank expression.
" He seems as if he has lots of things kept in his heart." Thought Carol, eyeing on his eyes. ( Heehee.. Left his guard down ) " He looks quite cute actually wait, what am I thinking !"
" Earth to Carol ?" said Hilary, waving her hand in front of Carol's face.
" Yes ?" asked Carol coldly, coming to her senses at the same time.
" You've been like staring at Kai like, for five whole minutes already ! You'd be dead if he sees you staring at him like some lover-sick girl." Said Hilary worriedly.
" I am NOT !" denied Carol, trying to fight her blush.
Just then, the bell rang.
' Ahh.. saved by the bell." Thought Carol, keeping her books into her bag.
" Hey ! I'm not finished yet." Yelled Mr. Keno.
' Wow ! Good thing he knows how to shout. He should do it more often.' Thought Carol.
" There will be no homework for the day," Everyone cheered. " But," added Mr. Keno,
" I want you all to help me find some information on plants. I want them the day after tomorrow."
" But I thought you said 'no homework' ?" argued a boy.
" Yeah !" agreed another.
" Indeed. But this isn't homework, it's called a research.( I think ) " Grinned Mr. Keno. " You may go now."
When they were at the corridors,
" What kind of teacher is that? I mean, c'mon, a research is also homework." Protested Carol.
" That no good teacher. Giving us homework on the very first day." Joined Hilary.
" Wait 'till I get my hands on him I'll rip him to pieces. Can't even relax on the first day of school." Cursed Carol darkly.
" Tsk tsk tsk. Did I hear someone cursing our class teacher?" said a voice behind them.
" What do you want, Kai." Spat Carol.
" Nothing. Just show some respect to your captain." Smirked Kai as he walked away.
" Forgot to mention him as well. Wait 'till I get my hands on BOTH of them then I'll only rip them to pieces 'till my heart's content." Muttered Carol darkly as she and Hilary spilt up and went to their own free lessons.
