Chapter 2 – Nurasian Writing
Eva ran through the open door and slammed it behind her. She had purposelessly made herself half an hour late for the Nurasian writing. Maple had been happy that Eva had spent time with her but she was also worried.
'Miss Wei, you are late!' her teacher cried in a shrill voice.
'Whatever,' Eva rolled her eyes.
She saw her teacher had a Nurasian with her. He was quite old with grey hair. Eva wasn't going easy on him though.
'Miss Wei this is Canaan,' her teacher said in a sharp voice.
'Sorry, I didn't hear you properly. Could you repeat that?' Eva smiled innocently.
'Canaan,' her teacher repeated.
'Oh, I missed it again, could you repeat that?' Eva asked.
'CANAAN!' her teacher yelled.
'Sorry could you repeat that? All I heard was Canaan,' Eva smiled sweetly.
Her teacher was fuming. Eva could be infuriating at the best of times. But it seemed she was not really happy about this. And that meant bad news for whoever came in her way.
Her teacher sat Eva in a desk.
'Now, Canaan will try and teach you some Nurasian writing,' her teacher said.
Eva groaned and swung on her chair.
'You can do this all you like. It just means a lot of lunchtime will be spent here,' her teacher shrugged.
Eva sighed and sat up properly.
Canaan started talking.
'I am from the Royal Family servants in Nurasia. Please try and treat me with respect,' he said.
He then started saying other things. He started mentioning a prince, the royal family and swords. Eva sat back and sighed. Boy was this going to be crap.
'Now are there any specific words that you want to know how to write in Nurasian before we start?' Canaan asked.
Eva thought of something.
'Yes, just the one,' she smiled.
'What is it?' Canaan asked.
Her teacher smiled. She was glad Eva was warming up to the lesson. She could now relax. She could now…
'What is bastard in Nurasian?' Eva asked sweetly.
Canaan gasped. Her teacher was shocked.
'Miss Wei! You will go to my room now!' she yelled at Eva.
'Yeah, I know. I didn't think I'd get away with it. Besides, it was crap anyway. Wait, how do you say…' Eva started saying.
'Go!' her teacher yelled.
Eva walked out of the room. She saw Maple down the corridor.
'Did she?'
'Yeah, I said what she calls bad words and now have to go to her office,' Eva spat at the floor.
'You're not going to, are you?' Maple asked.
'Are you nuts? Of course I am not going. That witch has already forced me to listen to a Nurasian and his life story. I am not staying around to hear any other sort of crap from her,' Eva pulled Maple away from the office.
'Oh yeah. How did your project go?' Maple asked.
Eva rolled her eyes. Maple sighed sadly.
'Yeah, he didn't like it. What sort of thing did he expect for biology? I wrote a simple project on wild animals,' Eva muttered.
'He might be mad because you said the teachers were the wild animals,' Maple pointed out.
Eva was still angry.
'Come on! He knows I hate biology! Can't he show a little of his funny side and laugh at it? I couldn't do anything else…' Eva muttered.
'I did try and give you my project,' Maple sighed.
'So? You're not the rebel to be honest. Even I had given you my report; he still would have sussed me out. He knows this sort of stuff can happen, so he's always ready for when it does,' Eva punched the wall.
Eva looked at the door she had come out of.
'God, she's taking one long time to explain to that guy. We better go before she does come out; she may throw us in her cauldron!' Eva muttered.
Maple slightly giggled but knew what Eva meant. The bell rang.
'Oh goody, I have now…hmm, Maths. How lovely. Let's all dance and sing a song shall we?' Eva said sarcastically.
Maple smiled.
'Yeah, just remember that Eva Wei is one of the worst people in school yet the only class where she is liked is Art,' Maple looked at her timetable.
'If only that was every day! The teacher is actually ok and likes me a bit! It is a miracle! Sadly though, Art isn't today. It's tomorrow or sometime soon, I think,' Eva thought for a few minutes.
'No tomorrow. You're right. Still we should head to Maths,' Maple smiled weakly.
Eva sighed. She walked with Maple down the hallway to the Maths room. Her teacher opened the door.
'Hello Miss Wei. Miss Robinson wants to see you,' he said.
'No! Not the witch!' Eva said angrily.
The teacher looked at her angrily.
'You must go now. You have some explaining and some sorry to give!' he muttered.
Maple shook her head.
'This is one of the few classes that I'm in with you. Ah well, see you after school n my dorm, ok?' Maple went into the classroom.
The classroom door slammed shut.
Eva was very annoyed. She went to her teacher's office. She slammed the door wide open without waiting for a reply.
'Miss Wei!' her shrill voice said.
Eva rolled her eyes. Great, another telling off. Just because I asked what bastard was in Nurasian…
'Canaan has decided not to teach you Nurasian writing as a punishment,' her teacher told her.
Eva started cheering and doing a little victory dance.
'But…seeing as he is a swords master for the Prince of Nurasia, he will be teaching you sword techniques instead,' her teacher said.
Eva started cheering really loudly, yelling and doing a dance.
'I'm going to be a swords girl!' she grinned.
