The teacher looked around at the end of the class. He said, "Today was nothing special. But I want you all to bring your sketch books and notebooks with you tomorrow when you come to class. That is all for today."
And he walked out.
Ying Xuan stood up and stretched. It had been a long day, and she still had detention to do today. Ying Xuan walked out of the class and met up with Weiwei and Zuan.
Lu Zuan said as she shouldered her bag, "Well, seeing that you two have detention. I think I'll head home."
Shi Weiwei muttered a haughty consent. She seemed to become gloomy whenever anyone mentioned the word detention.
Ying Xuan also stood up as she mouthed, "How about some snacks before we head off?"
Lu Zuan muttered, "Snacks....." And Shi Weiwei's ears perked up. She looked up, "Snacks?"
Lu Zuan laughed, "Look at her. Xuan, if you don't restrain her, I'm sure this little doll of yours will turn into a baby elephant by the this semester end."
Ying Xuan chuckled and Shi Weiwei pouted. The three girls then headed for the cafeteria.
After some snacks, which consisted of a coffee for Ying Xuan, a hot chocolate for Lu Zuan and some biscuits and tea for Shi Weiwei, the two said goodbye to Lu Zuan as they headed off to detention.
As Ying Xuan pushed open the door, they were met with the sight of a very bored looking middle-aged woman who seemed to be sleeping in her chair.
She looked up as the two entered and said, "Names?"
Shi Weiwei: "Shi Weiwei and Ying Xuan."
The woman went over her register as she said, "Right. Shi Weiwei. Detention for sleeping during class by Mr. Han. You've got lines. You will write 'I will concentrate in class'. For one hour."
Shi Weiwei went and sat on a seat as the woman went on, "Ying Xuan. Detention for disturbing the class by Miss Anhao. You've been asked to do the punishment homework she assigned you. For one hour."
Ying Xuan walked over and sat down in the seat in front of Weiwei.
There were two more students who had been in detention. "Four in one day. That's a nice start." Ying Xuan thought as she took out her English book and had a bird-eye view of the chapter.
Xuan's English was naturally very good, her mother had made sure of that.
"Hmm....this seems easy. The chapter is just long...." Xuan whined to herself as she took out a notebook and wrote the chapter's name. She then tore off a page from the back of the notebook and wrote, 'You doing all right there?' And put it on Weiwei's desk behind her.
She then set off to work.
Soon, Xuan felt Weiwei sliding the paper on her bench from behind.
Ying Xuan glanced at the paper, 'Thank you.'
Xuan understood what she was talking about.
Ying Xuan: 'You think anything in this world is free? Absolutely not. You will have to treat me to at least one week of ramen before we are even.'
As she passed this on, Xuan heard Shi Weiwei sniggering behind her and trying to control her laugh.
Shi Weiwei: 'Deal.'
The two continued to pass notes and work on their respective detention works.
