Had a maths exam today T_T I am horrid at maths. I just hate it haha. Thankfully, I don't need to pass to go to university this September but it would still be nice to have it. I hope you enjoy Teje and Daniel, they were some fun characters to write and hope you find them fun to read!
Teje Blair POV:
First, I had to isolate the circuit and confirm that the power was off with a voltage tester. I took the pen like end and pressed into the wiring behind the light faceplate. I looked at the diagram I had drawn showing the colour and number of wires connected to each terminal, then proceed to release the terminal screws and pull the cores from them.
I connected the cores to the correct terminals of the new switch, and tightened the screws. Then checked they were clamping the cable cores firmly by giving the wires a slight tug.
"You know, you didn't need to call me, there are professionals for this," I sighed, placing the screwdriver in my mouth once more. I could see the mayor in the reflection of the mirror to my right, shrugging at my words.
"They don't work as cheaply as you students," he laughed, leaning against the wall and observing my work.
"So you are saying you would rather use the cheap option and not the safe one?" I asked, the screwdriver muffling my speech. The mayor laughed but didn't give me a reply. You would think with all the money his fat ass made, he would be able to afford a real electrician but nope, he went for students. I knew he was in safe hands with me, I was the best in my class with a bright future ahead of me but, I still wasn't out of the woods.
I had to finish my final years of school and then I could and get some real education in the sector. So far, I had gone off books and common sense. I had done a good job of it as I wasn't dead yet. I had been building robots since I was a child and wiring was my speciality. I personally thought I was ready to go straight into work but one year of an introduction wouldn't hurt, if anything I could prove how good I was.
Daniel Bo POV:
Mrs Major scribbled on the board and my hand shot into the air. She ignored me at first so I started chanting her name while lifting myself off the chair. In the end, she gave up, sighing and turning towards me.
"Yes Mr Bo-"
"What does that word say?" I shouted, pointing towards the chalk board. The class started to laugh and a grin crawled across my face. Mrs Major shook her head as she waited for the class to calm down.
"It says Tuesday," she tried to smile but I could tell she was wishing I was not here. I gave a nod and sat down back in my chair. Waiting for her to continue. She waited for a moment, just to make sure I was seated and ready to listen.
"Right, anyway, today we will be-"
"What does Tuesday mean?" I asked, standing up with my hand raised in the air. I had to stop myself from laughing at the hatred in Mrs Major's eyes as she scowled at me and slammed her hand against the chalkboard.
"Out, Mr Bo!" she screamed, pointing towards the door. I walked out, my head hung low as the class erupted in laughter.
I spent most of the lesson, pulling faces through the window. The class would laugh and Mrs Magor would spend the next five minutes waiting for them to calm down. I found it rather amusing. I spent most of my days outside the classroom. My stupidity annoying my teachers. I didn't care though, they were cooped up in a classroom and I was free, who was the real winner here?
