"105, 105, 105"
Bingo repeats herself as she desperately goes side to side in the almost empty hallway in search of her next class, Drawing 1
"C'mon, Bingo," she whispers to herself. "You are smarter than this. It must be near."
Bingo keeps looking, going from one side of the hallway to the other, reading the name tags next to the door.
"102" She whispers before going to the other side.
"103"
"104"
"105!"
Finally, Bingo reaches her next class and immediately opens the door with force. The loud sound of the door opening makes everyone in the classroom and the teacher snap their heads to Bingo.
The teacher, a middle-aged female white pomeranian, points with caution at the red Heeler and says, "Bingo Heeler?"
Bingo just nods several times before the teacher continues, "Ok, I'm going to ignore you bust in like an FBI raid squad, and put you as you arrived on time."
Bingo awkwardly moves her eyes to look at her classmates, who still look at her in surprise. Instead of the row of seats like her last class, the drawing class has four tables, two in each row, with students sitting around each table and a pile of white papers in the center.
"Thanks…Ms…" Bingo responds between her teeth, trying to remember the teacher's name.
"Charlotte," The teacher responds indifferently.
"Charlotte, Ok," Bingo says as she turns to the tables, but she stays put, trying to find a chair to sit on until her eyes lay on a familiar purple and white Husky waving her hand next to an empty seat.
"Bingo!" The Husky shouted, revealing through her voice that it was an old friend of Bingo from her old elementary school
"Sadie." Bingo opened her eyes when she recognized her and swiftly moves to the back table to sit next to her along with other classmates
When Bingo puts her backpack under the chair and sits down, Sadie doesn't waste time hugging her and says, "I'm so glad to see you today. I thought you wouldn't come in for an entire week."
"I know I said that, but my parents said no," Bingo responds, waiting for Sadie to get off her; luckily for her, gets up from her seat to stand in front of the whiteboard.
"Class!" Charlotte shouts with authority, making Sadie separate from Bingo, "Welcome to Drawing 1, where you guys will finally stop drawing like little kids and learn how to draw like professionals."
"Unfortunately, we can't do any introduction, but my name is Ms. Charlotte, in case someone forgot. And at the moment, we are behind schedule by…" Charlotte checks her smartwatch. "...A week, so I need you guys to pay attention to today's lesson."
Sadie leans to Bingo and whispers to her ear, "How are we behind schedule by a week if we just started today?" to which Bingo responds by shrugging her shoulders.
"SADIE!" Charlotte snapped her head to the Husky. "PAY ATTENTION!"
"YIP!." When screamed at, Sadie ducks behind her arms on the table, wrapping her tail around one of the chair's legs.
"You…" Bingo thinks as she looks at the pomeranian with rage. "You are one of those teachers everyone hates."
"So today…" Charlotte continued as she pulled out a massive laminated piece of paper and put it on the board using a magnet. "...We are going to draw something you guys are familiar with…Chunky Chimp"
"WHAT!" The scream of a single student sounds off while more and more grows and complaints start to engulf the classroom
"HEY!" Charlotte screams out, regaining control of the class. "I'm not asking you to nail this like DiCaprio…"
"Isn't it Da Vinci?" One student raised his hand
"Doesn't matter! I'm not expecting you guys to do that, but this image of Chunky Chimp can teach you guys something about basic lines and framing. Okay, pay attention."
As Charlotte explains to the class, Bingo looks at Sadie, who is still behind her arms, hiding her face from the teacher. She puts a hand behind her head and starts caressing it as she looks at the teacher reluctantly. Sometimes, while Charlotte is explaining, Bingo looks away to see some of her classmates until she spots a familiar white and brown dog at the table next to the teacher's desk. And just like her, the dog looks distracted looking everywhere. She recognized that dog but doesn't know where.
"Ok, thats all," Charlotte finishes explaining to turn to the class. "This is fairly simple, but it's a good first step to draw like a professional. Like I said, im not expecting much from you guys. Just do the framing and the basic lines that conform Chunky Chimp, and thats it. You guys have until the end of the class, and you may speak, but do it in a low voice; thank you very much. I will be at my desk if you guys have questions."
And with that, the class is set free to continue with the task at hand. Grabbing a white piece of paper from the center of the table and holding a pencil, Bingo and Sadie stare at the paper, gathering energy to start somewhere.
"Have you drawn Chunky Chip before?" Sadie asks, still glazing at the paper
"A while ago." Bingo responds, still glazing at the paper, "Let's just do it like Charlotte said; we can start with his head. I feel like it's the easiest part."
"Yes I agree," Sadie says as both girls finally put their pencils on the paper and start dragging it across the paper to form the character's head.
Using quick and faded lines, the vague form of a head starts forming on the white canvas, slowly giving the character life once again as the few murmurs of several classmates fill the air like a blanket.
"Pss, Bingo" Sadie whispers, still working on the paper.
"Yes?" Bingo also whispers while working on the paper
"What happened? I thought you would skip the first week."
"I wanted to, But my family didn't like the idea. They said I needed to be responsible and attend the first day."
"Wow, thats awful."
"I know, trust me. I didn't want to come in today, and I stand correct seeing how evil the teacher is."
"Yeah, Unfortunately, thats part of school."
"Im hating it."
"Huh," Saide stops drawing to look at Bingo, who is still busy. "Why?"
"Pff" Bingo rolls her eyes and still whispers, "Where should I start."
"The beginning, I guess," Sadie whispers too.
"First, obviously, my parents didn't let me stay at home for at least one day. Second, the math teacher made fun of me and my love for insects. Third, I got lost trying to find the classroom, and obviously, fourth, the teacher is a witch."
"Wow"
"And it's barely half day." Bingo stops drawing and collapses on top of the half-finished drawing. "I just want this class to be over and go spend the rest of the day inside the restroom."
"I wouldn't suggest that. "Sadie gets closer to Bingo and keeps whispering "Restrooms can be really freaky places during lunch."
"More to my favor then!"
Bingo raised her head to face Sadie with full-on exasperation on her face, but the scream caused everyone to look at Bingo again.
"Everything ok, Bingo?" Charlotte asks, tilting her head to the side to see beyond her computer
Bingo looks at Charlotte angrily and answers, "Yes! I'm feeling fine!" before picking up her pencil and continuing her work.
Sadie looks at the teacher, who slightly shrugs her shoulder to return to what she was doing on her computer.
"Bingo" Sadie whispers again, getting closer to the red Heeler as she was laser-focused on the paper. "If you are not going to talk to me again. At least, let me thank you for caressing me. I needed it."
Bingo's eyes close like a hand brake as she stops drawing. Feeling the guilt hit her like a truck that makes her shed a tear between her eyelids. "I'm sorry…"
"It's ok" Sadie whispers, putting a hand on Bingo's back."Should have kept my mouth shut."
"Don't blame yourself," Bingo whispers again, finally opening her eyes."I shouldn't react like that; it's just…im not having the best day right now."
"I know…" Sadie says sympathetically as she removes her hand. "You know what you need?"
The question makes Bingo turn her head to look at the Husky, waiting for her to continue.
"You need Lila" Sadie ends what she wanted to say
"Ummmm" Bingo drops her pencil on top of the paper and starts to think. Even though she wanted to not come to school for a few days, She and her best friend Lila agreed to join the same school to stay together. "Yeah…Probably, she will know what to do"
"Exactly, plus im sure she can give better hugs than me" Whispers Sadie as she picks up her pencil and continues working on the drawing
"Don't put yourself down like that. Your hugs are good too," Bingo whispers back, trying to comfort Sadie.
"Thanks Bingo" Sadie whispers. "Let's get this drawing done"
Bingo nods as she picks up her pencil and continues working on the drawing.
They draw, draw, and draw until the bunch of lines closely resemble Chunky Chimp on the board.
"Huh" Bingo raised her paper to compare it to the laminated paper on the whiteboard "I think I nailed it."
"Yeah" Sadie repeats what Bingo is doing and continues talking, "We did good."
RINGGGGGGGG*
"Ok, class," Charlotte shouts out. If you guys are finished, leave the paper on my desk with your name on it. If not, you guys will continue next time around."
As if something rumbled in the sea, the students got up, picked up their backpacks, and left the class after leaving their drawings with Ms. Charlotte.
After turning in their drawing and leaving the classroom together, Bingo normally asks, "What Class do you have now?"
"I think I got Math" Sadie answers. "What about you?"
"Let's see," Bingo pulls out a piece of paper from her hip containing all her classes." I got... lunch?"
"Oh, lucky you" Sadie jokes. "I'm hungry already, but I guess I have to hold on till it's lunchtime."
"Ok…" Bingo says dejectedly, wishing to spend more time with Sadie as she puts her paper back in her hip. "Good luck in math class."
"Thanks Bingo." Sadie quickly hugs Bingo before turning around to walk away from Bingo "See you later."
"Yeah…" Bingo says at the same time she sadly drops her shoulder. "See you later Sadie"
Ok so i decided to dig deep into the whole cochlear device to discover that the transmitter (the plastic device outside and behind the ear, the same thing Bingo saw on Dougie last chapter) can actually be removed, there is another device located under the skin that has a magnet to keep the transmitter device on the skin
Dumb Rafael Dumb
Ughhhhhhhh, good thing I accidentally covered this, you guys will see in probably 3 chapter
