"Huh? Why? We're so ready to go to school! We have schedules and stuff, you know? Furthermore, we can't just randomly take a leave of absence without saying nothing to the faculty. So, give us a day or two to at least give our explanations." Thankappan desperately tried to make Lonappan think differently.
"Ah, you don't have to worry about the leave of absence stuff. I've discussed it with the school. You're granted permission to take the leave. You lot are English teachers. No one gives a damn about English teachers. Rather, your fellow teachers rejoice when you take a leave because they just got an extra slot to just push through the syllabus. So, yea… Today's a leave for you guys." Lonappan replied, much to the dismay of the four. They quite enjoyed their time in school, so missing even one was kinda sad for them.
