Ying Xuan took out her notebook but did not open it.
Miss Anhao began to read out a para and translate it.
Ying Xuan looked out of the window. This building was on the edge of the campus, so the window looked out to the road outside campus.
Ying Xuan was enjoying the view of people rushing about to their works, when a hand tapped on her shoulder. Ying Xuan turned around to see Miss Anhao staring at her.
She said, "What's your name?"
Xuan took out her ID card and showed it.
Miss Anhao: "Ying Xuan. Hmm, it does ring a bell. Say Miss Ying, why are you not paying attention in my class?"
Ying Xuan took a notebook and wrote, "I was. I just got momentarily distracted."
Miss Anhao: "So you've been momentarily distracted for so long that you did not notice me coming over and standing beside your desk for five minutes?"
Ying Xuan hung her head. She was in detention for sure.
Miss Anhao said, "Since you're so smart as to get momentarily distracted, you'll be translating the whole first chapter by tomorrow."
Ying Xuan was dumbfounded. Translating was not a problem, but the whole chapter??
Miss Anhao walked back as she said, "Maybe that will be a lesson for you to pay attention."
Ying Xuan sat back down, her face gloomy.
For the next ten minutes, Ying Xuan seemed to be deep in thought. Then she grinned suddenly before tearing out a page from her notebook, crumpling it into a ball, and aiming it straight at Miss Anhao's head, who was currently writing something on the blackboard.
The ball hit Miss Anhao on the head, who turned around looking very angry, to see a very smug looking Ying Xuan, with a mischievous grin on her face, and behind her, a horror struck Shi Weiwei and Lu Zuan.
Miss Anhao spoke slowly, gritting her teeth, "Who threw that?"
Ying Xuan slowly stood up.
Miss Anhao walked over to her and said, "And may I ask, Miss Ying, why did you do that?"
Ying Xuan wrote, "Sorry. It just slipped my hand."
Miss Anhao was clearly not convinced by this lame excuse, and Ying Xuan thought for sure that she would end up in detention.
But Miss Anhao took a few deep breaths, and said, "Since you did not mean that, and seeing that you've already apologized, I'll let you off this time." "And don't disturb my clas again." She said as she walked back to the board.
Ying Xuan sat back down. "Was this woman bent on not giving a detention? She had thrown a paper ball for god sake!!!!"
Ying Xuan sat for quite some time looking sad. She looked at her watch and saw that a whole hour had already passed.
"Damn, only thirty minutes left. I have to do something quick."
A light bulb suddenly went off in Xuan's head. She smiled like a devil as she put a hand under her chin and leaned on the desk.
Ying Xuan waited for Miss Anhao to look at her, and just as she did, Xuan let out a huge yawn and slumped on the desk.
Ying Xuan closed her eyes, but she could hear a very angry Miss Anhao walking over to her. Xuan hid a smile as she also heard Weiwei and Zuan trying to wake her up.
