When Wei Yang returned to school, she met the ongoing mathematics class.
Teacher He is the most difficult and stubborn teacher in the whole of Misty high school. He would make you solve difficult questions when you annoy him and if you fail to do so, the student's parents have to be called upon with the student being the school janitor for a week.
"Wei Yang, where are you coming from by this time of the day?" Asked teacher He, who giving face to a student is nowhere in his dictionary.
Wei Yang who just sat down, thinking teacher He, who was writing on the board wouldn't notice her sighed.
She stood up and gave her excuse. "I was taking a nap on the balcony and lost track of time."
"You were taking a nap," he nodded slowly like he understood. "Then I would love you to come teach your fellow student for the remaining thirty-five minutes of this class."
The class roared with students protesting and some rejoicing at her misfortune.
Mo Lang and Qi Jun who hasn't stopped staring at Wei Yang ever since she entered the class frowned. Qi Jun wanted to raise his hand to help her out when Wei Yang walked over to the podium after saying: "Sure."
"She is so cocky. She thinks she is brilliant."
Scoffed a girl who hated Wei Yang the most for her looks.
"Her embarrassment would serve as entertainment for me," said a boy.
"This is karma for how she has treated my goddess," a girl with braided hair uttered with a dubious smile.
"I second that!" Another girl said.
"Quiet!" Teacher He slammed the podium with his textbook with fury in his eyes. "You student knows how to talk, huh? When she is gone, you all will have to answer questions on what I have taught so far..." He paused to take on the student's contorted faces. "...Since the beginning of the term." He added.
Sounds of murmurings and grunts of dissatisfaction were heard but no one spoke out loud. Who wants to be a janitor for a whole week?!
Wei Yang stood on the podium and closed the opened textbook. The topic on the board was algebraic expression. She took the marker and went over to the whiteboard. Seeing the equation which needed solving on the board, she wrote the solution in clear and simple steps that needed no explanation to understand by a layman.
After she was done, teacher He stared at the board, he saw the clear, neat and simple way she solved the equation, and a smile creeped onto his lips. He knew this girl was brilliant but, lazy. The principal held a meeting this morning, asking them to help curb her laziness for the good of the school, and that was exactly what he is doing, right?
Some student's mouth and eyes went wide like they've seen a ghost. Most of them have forgotten Wei Yang is a scholar because her result has been going up and down in recent years. Some who remembered wondered why her scholarship have not been revoked, but seeing her solve a difficult question in seconds, in a way that even the dumbest person would understand, they finally knew why she was still a scholar.
Wei Yang started her teaching with the class so silent that the sound of the marker rubbing against the board could be heard clearly in the class.
Some students asked questions on what they didn't understand before today and she answered them all.
By the time she was done, no student in class would dare say they didn't understand the basics of Algebraic expression anymore.
The class was so interactive and exciting that teacher He felt jealous. His class had been the most boring among the other classes, but no one would dare sleep or make a sound in his class. Although most of them would be yawning and the look of disinterest would be clearly visible in their eyes.
However what he was seeing right now was his first. Even students from class one aren't this focused.
Because they were all carried away, no one saw him leave the podium, or maybe they did, but no one cared about him leaving the podium and taking his seat on Wei Yang's chair.
A few moments later, a deafening round of applause jotted his brain. He turned only to see Wei Yang staring at him with those captivating eyes of hers. "Time is up teacher He," she said, albeit slowly, like she was smirking at him.
"Good. Good. Good. This class is the best I have seen so far, from today henceforth, you will be the one taking them mathematics. My old bones are tired and needs to rest." He shamelessly declared while walking to the podium to collect his textbooks.
Wei Yang was stunned. What old bones? he was just a little above thirty!
The class cheered, forgetting their prejudice against Wei Yang.
For the first time since entering Misty high, Wei Yang's face turned ugly. The class laughed at that and teacher He skipped away happily. He had found a reliable helper and from now on, all he would be doing in that class would be to be sleeping all through his period. Hahaha...
Mo Lang smiled and Qi Jun snickered.
After going back to her seat, some girls went to her with their books to gain more enlightenment which she wasn't stingy to help. She taught them until the next teacher walked in.
