Somewhere on earth, it is the first day of a new school year. Mr Mubbal, the physics teacher, has no idea what kind of a week he's in for.
'Sylvie?'
'here sir'
'and Jason'
'here sir'
'thank you'
the register was complete, apart from one person. Just then, a girl with olive skin and short black hair almost danced in. She walked in a way that said 'look at me I don't care Im late because Im brilliant'
'youre late, Jakki. Sit down'
'yes sir' She grinned as she said it, in a way Mr Mubbal found disconcerting
'you will need to do all this catch up for homework'
She glanced down at the sheets and started writing answers
'there'
Mr Mubbal took the sheets back. The answers he could see were not only right but far more detailed than the question called for, almost like she was showing off. He went back to teaching the lesson
'... so as you can see'
one of the students raised a hand
'I don't get it sir'
at the back, Jakki rolled her eyes
'well its quite simple, see..' She launched into the most detailed explanation possible, Thought the language itself was simplistic
'get it?'
'I didn't ask you to speak, Jakki, sit down' It was the most he could say without revealing how deeply impressed he was by her level of understanding.
'as I was saying...'
he continued the lesson. And the next lesson after that. Jakki was distinctly unnerving him. She wasn't rude straight out, but the way she talked, it was like she was laughing at him. When he found out the new teacher would be covering his class, he was more than relieved
