Chapter 8: Wes got expelled

Short introduction: The story is set two years before chapters 1-7

He sat at the back of the class of Pokemon Academy in Hoenn. His sandy hair stood up as straight as an arrow on his head. Apparently, the half-a-bottle of gel he had used paid off. His long, slender legs were casually crossed, one over the other. The large, ember eyes of fifteen-years-old Wes were trained on Rui, who was sitting at the front of the room.

He immediately cast his eyes down when Rui glanced behind. However, he could not miss the beautiful, exhilarating view of her face. "Beautiful, beautiful…"he muttered, still in his reverie.

Without even noticing it, he started singing 'Blah, Blah, Blah'.

"A to Z, divide, subtract…"

His teacher frowned and marched up to him. "Excuse me young man, this is an examination!"

"…Teacher, teacher get off my back…" he sang, nodding to the tune.

The teacher was shocked at his 'incorrigible' behaviour. Either Wes was singing in such a monotonous tone or she was a 'blur' king like James; she didn't realise that was a song. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she tapped he shoulder.

Wes looked up at her. His eyes widened in horror when he saw his hawk-like teacher who would find any reason to pounce on her students. Unable to stop himself, he sang, "Don't you know you talk too much," right into her face.

"Don't you know you're …" his voice trailed off as his small, puny, slow brain probably the size of pea finally processed the information. He clapped his hand over his gaping mouth.

"Wes, your behaviour is incorrigible! After you got a scholarships to such fine school, you take it for granted and …" she started giving a long lecture.

"And all you hear, blah, blah, blah! Get out of my class, this instant!"

Wes, the attention seeker, walked slowly out of the class, savouring the moment when all eyes were trained on him. Wes gave Rui a cute, one-dimpled smile, which was quite in contrast to the grimace on Rui and the teacher's face.

The teacher immediately started jeering booing, hoping that the class would follow. However, Wes was much too popular and nobody joined in. As the teacher knew she looked very stupid (very much like an un-evolved human) with both fists in the air, screaming, "Boo! Psssssst, booo!", with nobody joining in, she stopped after a while.

Outside the classroom, Wes simply shrugged and wrote his to his fan-mail on foolscap paper. After that, he got bored and decided to write a love poem to seduce Rui.

After a few long hours, the class dismissed. At once, Wes walked up to Rui.

"Rui, I have a poem for you," said Wes.

"Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet,

And so are you!"

"Uhm…that's so cliché. Sorry…I don't think that poem is good enough to get you an A for poem writing exams," said Rui nicely, having the misconception that Wes wanted her to see the poem he was going to submit for the poem writing exam.

And she walked off, leaving Wes grimacing in embarrassment.

All of a sudden, a large hand landed on Wes' shoulder, causing him to jump.

"You are expelled! This is not the first time you breached the rules of examinations!" blared his teacher, referring to the times when Wes tried throwing paper aeroplanes containing love notes to Rui during the examinations (due to poor aiming, the aeroplanes landed on the teacher's desk. Not a nice experience.)
