The classroom was noisy, it was very noisy, it was as if the classroom was a battlefield with the guns firing loudy and soldiers screaming for their lives so that they can go back to their home, to stay with their family in peace.
A variety of colourfull paper airplanes were being thrown out from the classrooms window to see whose flies the furthest.
Paper balls were being thrown in the dustbin as someone made a hoop over the dustbin.
Even after all that the classroom was somehow still clean, because even if most of the students in that class are troublemakers, they keep their classroom clean and sometimes listen to teachers, they know how to respect people who deserves respect, but as said, they make troubles.
But they all went silent as the door slid open, not expecting to see a teacher. He, the teacher looked quite exhausted.
'I thought our math sir is absent, who's that?'
'Hey, is that a new teacher? I don't think I ever saw him in the staff room the last time I got sent there'
'He's a substitute teacher, probably'
"Alright uhm... Please go back to your respective seats and keep quiet."
The substitute teacher with dirty blonde hair said and he was actually suprised when he saw that the students listened to him, although they did whisper to eachother or pass notes to eachother to continue their conversation.
A student in the middle row raised his hand and asked a question to the substitute teacher.
"Sir! Why is your hair in a bun, in the school rules it says that no makes are allowed to have long hair"
That question made some smarties run their nose bridge, some average students did the same, rub their nose bridge.
"Now how do I say this..." The substitute teacher thought on how to explain. "Hm, the principal forgot to add the 'except staffs' anyways, let me introduce myself"
The substitute teacher picked the chalk up and started writing his name. "Since none of you are blind, I hope none of you are, you can see that my name is Hasan so call me Sir Hasan."
"Sir" Another student from the middle row, but in the second first bench raised his hand. "Your name sounds like a Arabic name, are you arabic?"
"Hm, I wonder too, anyways I have no idea about that so uh, you can meet my parents and ask them." Sir Hasan scratched the back of his neck as he said that thinking that atleast students from this class is listening to him.
"Siiiir!" Xemi said in a loud voice as she stood up while raising her hand, because if she didn't do those two at the same time, the teacher won't be able to see her since she's too short. "Why are you here? I mean, what happened to Sir Asher, did he die?"
"Sir Asher? Oh he got throat cancer as you all know, since he was late to discover it, he left the school since he said he's going to die"
"Hey Ivan... isn't that a good excuse to..."
Vera whispered to Ivan but was cut off.
"And to you, female student, you can't say that your dying and leave school" Sir Hasan said.
Vera sighed and nodded, turning her outside to the left to look outside the Window.
"And because of that, I'll be your new maths Teacher from now on" Sir Hasan glanced at his chair before sitting down. "I didn't prepare anything so do what you want, but don't scream that's it"
The students immediately put on a smile and started going to their own groups, taking their chair with them. The friend group also came together after being seated away from eachother for many periods, as Vera and Xemi sits together on the third first bench, middle row, Ivan in the left row, middle seat, Ares right behind Ivan, and Kiki on in the last seat of the right row, sitting alone since he has some problems, but he could see Xemi so that was enough for him.
"These students... they're surprisingly listening to me, first time huh... Feels good" Sir Hasan said as he smiled proudly, after all those attempts to teach the students of other class, they never listened to him.
,
During recess,45 minutes.
Xemi was everywhere, in the hallways, washroom, under the stairs, the juniors building, nursary building, everywhere, looking for Vera who most of the time disappears after eating lunch.
"Haaah... Now I know where she is" Xemi mumbled to herself. Vera doesn't have a specific place that she goes after lunch all the time so the person looking for her needs to check everywhere.
"Xemi, what are you doing here?" Ivan asked, approaching her, along with Ares besides him.
"I was looking for Vera since she disappeared again."
"She's in the back of the juniors building." said Ares, with his left hand in his pocket while the other hand holds a coffee milkshake.
"Hm, I figured that out... oh and where's Kiki? he was with you guys while eating lunch"
"Oh, he didn't do his homework so he was told to do it, he couldn't sneak out because the teacher was there." Ivan told to Xemi about why Kiki wasn't with them.
"Meh, anyways wanna come with me? I mean to Vera."
Ares shook his head "Nah, I think I'll stay back"
"Alright let's go, come Ares" Ivan said as he turned his head to Ares before following Xemi who was already on the move.
"... Ugh, I'm coming wait up"
Meanwhile with Vera, she was just sitting behind the Juniors building, underneath the royal Poinciana, but since the blooming season is over, it's just a normal tree now.
Vera was just watching the red ants crawl up the school building, as Vera thought about it "maybe they're going somewhere, their house? maybe to get food—"
"Fooooound you"
Vera's view was blocked by Xemi, who was standing infront of her, and for the first time Xemi was towering Vera since she was sitting while Xemi was standing.
"Vera, what are you doing here?" Asked Ivan with a curious tone.
"Is your weird ass watching ants again?"
"Language." Xemi said, pointing her small knife at Ares just because Ares used the word 'ass' and because he called Vera weird even if both of them are equally weird...
"I didn't give you the knife to threaten your friends Xemi"
"Xemi, please put the knife down." Said Ivan, now sounding worried because she pointed the knife at Ares, even though he knows that Xemi will never actually use it, she just carries it for protection.
Xemi crossed her arms and looked at Vera "Next time when you decide to disappear, tell me, I always think you got kidnapped by a creep that's a man!"
"It's alright Xemi, I won't get kidnapped, I can just kick their—"
