Silhouette in Perfect Symmetry || Chapter VII
[ Jack's P.O.V ]
Thursday.
First subject, Math. We only answered our worksheets. It has thirty items. Elsa and I decided to divide the number of items into two. Elsa will answer the first fifteen items and I will answer the remaining fifteen items. We answered the items in a scratch paper. Hiccup and Flynn were having a hard time answering their worksheet. They attempted to answer the task sheet. Hiccup managed to answer ten items whilst Flynn managed to answer three items. Most of my classmates approached Elsa and asked for her help. She gladly helped her classmates.
Hiccup got up from his seat and approached us, "Help us! We're going to die!" He faked a cry. I smiled at him and patted his shoulder, "Elsa and I will teach you and Flynn on Saturday. Don't worry!"
"Thanks man." He faked a cry again and went back to his seat.
"I'm done answering the first fifteen items. What about you?" Elsa asked me.
"I'm also done. All we have to do is to transfer our answers to our worksheet." I responded.
"I'll be the one to write the answers on the worksheet." She smiled at me.
"Alright. Thanks." I smiled back at her.
"No. Thank you. It's teamwork after all." She twinkled and started writing our final answers in the worksheet.
"Keep your worksheets. The time is up. Wait for your next subject." Professor Kai remarked and stepped out from our room. Before it's time, Elsa managed to finish rewriting the answers in the worksheet.
Second subject, History. We only watched a not so long film about Renaissance period. Professor Gerda stated that it is a review for our quiz on Monday. Whilst we're all watching, Professor Gerda wrote three questions in regard with the film we're watching on the board. We were asked to write our answers in our notebooks. After we watched the film, we did what she said.
"You're going to pass your notebooks tomorrow." Professor Gerda told us, "Girls, pass your notebooks to Elsa. Boys, pass your notebooks to Flynn. Elsa and Flynn, pass it to me right after this class and put the notebooks inside the faculty room, in my table." She added. Elsa was the first one to finish the task given by Professor Gerda. Then, I'm the second one who finished answering the question, then Flynn followed, then Hiccup, then the rest of our classmates. The girls passed their notebooks to Elsa and the boys passed their notebooks to Flynn.
After that, Hiccup and I helped Elsa and Flynn to carry our classmates' notebooks to the faculty room. Then, we had our break. But before we have our break, I asked Elsa, "Is it okay if Emma's coming too? She wants to come with me..."
"Absolutely. It would be great. I love to see your little sister." She smiled at me. I thanked her and went to our respective places during break time. Nothing much happened. Probably Elsa and her friends had their conversation. We had our conversations too.
"Here Flynn. Take my money. I'm going to pay you." I brought out my wallet and took out the exact amount of money I'm supposed to pay last night. Flynn smiled at me and told me to keep my money, "Whether you force me to accept your payment or do me a prank, I won't accept it because I told you for so many times it's free."
"But-" I was cut off by him, "No. It's okay. Don't be shy!" He told me. I put my money inside my wallet and kept it inside my pocket knowing the fact that he would never accept my money even if I forced him.
"Anyway, I told all of my friends and Elsa's friends not to pay me." He stated.
Then, after break, we went back to our respective classrooms.
Third subject, Arts. Elsa's favourite subject, I think. She happily brought out her camera as Professor Black went inside our room. "Good morning class. Bring out your cameras." All of us brought out our cameras. Elsa brought her Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Instant Camera. Hiccup brought his Nikon D750. Flynn brought his Nikon 5500. I brought my Canon EOS 5DS. I was kind of surprised when Elsa did not bring a DSLR camera. I assume she doesn't want to waste her time printing out the photos that's why she brought that kind of camera.
"Why did you bring a Polaroid camera and not a DSLR camera?" I asked Elsa in a whispering voice.
"Well, I have three DSLR cameras and three Polaroid cameras. But I chose to bring a Polaroid camera for instant photos."
"Ooh." I said in amazement. She really is a photographer. She has lots of cameras. What is she going to do with the four cameras? Giveaway, probably? Just kidding.
Professor Black gave us time to take photographs. We took a lot of pictures. I took Flynn a picture. I took Hiccup a picture. I took Elsa a picture. I'm so happy I already have a photo of her. Elsa asked one of our classmates to take herself, myself, Hiccup and Flynn a group photo, "Excuse me, Hans. Would you please take us a picture?" She handed her camera and thanked him in advanced. Oh, his name is Hans. His hair colour is auburn, medium light auburn, and his eye colour is green.
Hans took us a picture and handed Elsa's camera back to her. She thanked Hans once again and happily stared at our photo.
"Elsa! Jack! I'll take you two a picture!" Holding his camera, Hiccup said in a cheerful voice. Elsa moved closer to me and smiled at the camera. I felt my cheeks flushed and smiled at the camera.
"1... 2... 3... Smile." Hiccup pressed the shutter, "Thank you!"
"Hey Hiccup. Would you please take the two of us a picture?" Elsa asked Hiccup as she handed her camera to him. My eyes widened when I heard her asked Hiccup to take us a picture together. I'm the happiest person alive! It's not that I like Elsa or something. It's just that... I really, really, really enjoy her company. I don't know. I can't even tell it.
Hiccup gladly took her camera, "Of course!" He, then, counted and pressed the shutter. He handed her camera back to her and smiled, "You two look cute together, by the way." I saw Elsa blushing. She looked at me smiled sheepishly. I also flushed when Hiccup said that to us. I smiled back at her and gave her a coy smile.
"Stop taking photos and keep your cameras." Professor Black told us to do so. We all kept our cameras and went back to our seats. Arts class is not over yet; we still have remaining ten minutes.
"Did you enjoy this activity?" He asked us as he placed his hands on top of the teacher's table. We all nodded in agreement.
"Good. That's photography for Ms. Glazeworth, right? Enjoyment it is." He said, then glanced at Elsa. She smiled at him and responded yes.
"Class, print it out and bring the hard copies of your photo tomorrow or Monday. We'll start a new lesson tomorrow."
Professor Black told us to wait for our next subject and left.
Fourth subject, English. Professor Tomago told us to spend our time to read our books we chose for our insights. "Jack..." I heard Elsa whispering my name. I looked at her oddly.
"What chapter are you?" She asked me.
"I'm reading the thirty fifth chapter. What about you?"
"Fifty fifth. I'll try to finish this book later so that I can do the insight already."
"Same. I have to read fifteen more chapters."
It was a complete silence. All of us are busy reading our books. Professor Tomago interfered us and told us to keep our books and announced something regarding the insight. "Class, I repeat. Your insight must be computerised, not handwritten. Bookman Old Style, 12, 1.5, justified. Print that in a short bond paper."
We kept our books after reading and had our lunch.

Thursday, 12:00.
"Guys, what books are you reading?" Hiccup asked us.
"Sense and Sensibility. You?" I answered, then asked him.
"Emma." He responded.
"I'm reading Mansfield Park." Flynn responded.
"Reading Jane Austen's Persuasion." Kristoff remarked.
We asked each others what is the number of chapters of our books we've chosen and the current chapter we are reading. I told them I'm reading the 35th chapter. Flynn told us he's reading the 29th chapter. Hiccup told us he's reading the 38th chapter. Kristoff told us he's done reading it. We all looked at him suspiciously.
"Really?" We asked him in unison.
"Guys, it has only twenty four chapters. You should have done a research about Jane Austen's works before you borrow a book from the library. I looked for a book that has lesser number of chapters." He stated. I didn't even think of that! However, I find it unfair, but it's not really a big deal. We're all reading Jane Austen's works after all.
After our lunchtime, we went back to our room and waited for Professor Hofferson. She told us we'll have our quiz on Monday.
Not again, Ms. Hofferson. We're going to have our quiz in History on Monday. We're going to pass our insights to Prof. Tomago on Monday. We're going to pass our worksheets to Professor Kai on Monday. We're going to explain our photos we've taken on Monday. We're going to submit our project to you on Monday, Ms. Hofferson. Please, have mercy on us.
We mumbled and caused noise inside the classroom.
"Alright. I know you have a lot of things to submit and you have a quiz in History on Monday. I'm going to change the day of our quiz." She said as we freaked out, "Instead of Monday, tomorrow. Review Lessons 1 - 3." She announced.
We all complained and howled. Are these professors trying to kill us? I'm one of those students who complained and mumbled but I didn't howl.
"Alright! Alright! Keep quiet! Tuesday then! Is it alright?!" She asked us. Her question made us kept quiet.
We nodded in agreement and had a short exercise. Elsa and I have the highest score. Hiccup is the second highest and Flynn is the third highest. She told us that we're going to spend our time reviewing the three lessons tomorrow.
We had our Music class and Spanish class.

Dismissal time.
Flynn, Hiccup and Kristoff decided not to hang out. I told them to continue reading their books instead. I went home on my home. Earlier, I told my parents I want to go home alone. Luckily, they allowed me.
When I arrived home, I immediately went to my room and started reading Sense and Sensibility. I managed to finish three chapters. Lizzie knocked the door and opened it slowly, "Jack, have your dinner." I went downstairs and brought the book with me. Whilst eating my dinner, I read the book.
"You can continue reading that book later, sonny." My father told me. We're not allowed to do anything whilst we're eating. We're only allowed to talk but only minimal. I call it the-only-eating rule. I placed my book on top of the kitchen counter and continued eating.
"Emma, I told Elsa you're coming with me tomorrow." I smiled at her.
"What did she say?!" She asked excitedly.
"She said it was fine! You can come with me tomorrow. I'll go home first to fetch you then we go in their house, alright?"
"YES!" She squealed and hugged me very tightly. I patted her head, "Okay Emma. Calm down. We're still eating our dinner."
She unwrapped her arms around me and ate again. After I finished eating my dinner, I apologised to Lizzie for I couldn't help her to wash the dishes. I grabbed my book from the kitchen counter and went to my room. I took a shower and right after that, I continued reading. I managed to finish the book! I grabbed my phone from my bag and decided to send a mass text to share the happiness. My happiness.
[ Jack ] Guys! I finished reading my book! Finally doing my insight! :D
I grabbed my laptop under my study desk and placed it on top. I turned it on and started typing my insight. After typing it all out, I printed it. I printed three copies for duplicate copies, just in case. I placed my insight in my binder and kept it inside my bag. I placed the remaining two copies inside the drawer. My cellphone beeped. I believe one of my friends has replied.
[ Elsa ] Yipee! I'm done doing my insight! :) xx
I received a new message coming from Hiccup.
[ Hiccup ] Cool! Not yet done reading. I'm reading the 41st chapter. I'm going to stay up late just to finish this crap. :/
Then, another message from Flynn.
[ Flynn ] Chapter 35. Man, this is awful. :| I might just read the whole summary in sparknotes.
Then, from Kristoff.
[ Kristoff ] Don't you brag it. I had printed out my insight too. :P
I replied to their messages after reading each messages one by one.
[ Jack to Elsa ] Me too! I had printed it out already. :)
[ Jack to Hiccup ] You can do it. ;) Text me once you're done.
[ Jack to Flynn ] Don't you dare to do that. It's unfair. We read the book letter by letter, word by word and page by page. I know you can do it. :) Trust me, you can finish that. Elsa's book, which is Pride and Prejudice, has sixty one chapters. But look, she finished it for only four days!
[ Jack to Kristoff ] Oh yeah? :P Persuasion has only 24 chapters. Ours are more than 24 chapters. LOL.
I waited for their responses. The first one to respond was Elsa.
[ Elsa ] Alright-y right. I'm going to sleep. Good night and sweet dreams, Jack. Don't let the bedbugs bite. See ya tomorrow. :) xx
Then, followed by Kristoff.
[ Kristoff ] Yeah, yeah. Off to dreamland. Go to sleep too, Frosty. :P Good niiiiiiiight! zzzz
I replied back to Elsa and Kristoff.
[ Jack to Elsa ] Okay Elsa. Good night and sweet dreams too. :) Talk to you tomorrow! :D
[ Jack to Kristoff ] Good niiiiiiiiight too! zzzz
Elsa didn't reply anymore. Kristoff replied a happy face and a zzzz. I decided not to reply anymore. He'll probably won't sleep. He's talkative and never runs out of topics. I waited for Hiccup's and Flynn's responses. My eyes are feeling heavy. They are slightly closing. I decided to text them I'm going to sleep.
[ Jack to Hiccup ] Hey Hic. I'm sleepy. Sorry if I won't reply. I'm going to sleep. Have a good night Hic! You're going to finish reading that book. You can do it! You're Hiccup after all! ;)
[ Jack to Flynn ] Yo! What's up Flynn? What chapter are you reading? Don't you dare to read the summary at sparknotes! I'm going to sleep because I'm sleepy, obviously. Anyway, I just want to say good night to you. :) Night Flynn.
I set an alarm for 5:45 and fell asleep.

[ periwinklingsincemcmxcviii to Ez1693 ] Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! The answer to your question is no. He's neither going to be evil nor an evil. He's only an Arts teacher. :) And yes, Merida and Rapunzel will accept Jack in the later chapters so stay tuned! Once again, thank you! xx
