บท 9: Chapter 9 - Matters to Attend to.
Shawn opened his eyes. He was back at home and his alarm was ringing it was 5:00 am. "Better wake up and get ready before mum comes banging on my door" he said as he got up and went to the bathroom.
He got into his school uniform and got into the car along with Stacy. Lucas had already gone to follow the bus. Nick drove his kids to school where he dropped them off and went to work. Shawn got out of the car, brought Stacy out of the car and took her to her class before he headed to his.
As he was walking to his class he saw a group of boys around a certain figure. Richard Dawson. He looked away and decided to continue walking to his destination. Suddenly, the boy that he didn't want to meet came to him.
"Hello Shawn" Richard said.
"Good morning" was Shawn's replied before he headed to the classroom.
But before he could do that, a hand stretched out and barred he door. It was one of Richard's minions. "Now now, why are you in a rush" said Richard.
"I just want to receive my homework that you agreed to do for me"
"I don't think that I agreed to do anything" Shawn said as he tried to think of a way to get out of this pickle.
"Listen here Shawn. You just have to cooperate and give him your homework" said one of the minions.
"And why can't any of you give him yours. Are you all filled with nothing but emptiness in your heads" Shawn bit back.
He wasn't liking this state of being cornered and wanted to just get into the classroom.
Richard spoke "Just bring your homework and you can go or at least write the answers down"
Shawn was thinking " I really want to get out of here. If I write the answers down for him now eventually he's going to keep coming back for more homework. If I give him now, he might even make me to assist him during exams and tests"
Shawn took a deep breath and said. "Sorry I can't write the answers down"
"Why?" Richard asked. He was more like saying "What excuse do you want to give"
"I can't remember because I accidentally dropped my homework at home and I have a good issue to "
Shawn wasn't the smartest mathematician in the class but he was a good calculator and good enough to complete his homework and classwork.
"That's strange, I don't remember you ever entering the principal or staff's office or being told that you've never done your homework by the teacher" Richard said as he looked at him intently with
"The heck this guy is quite an observer. Isn't he supposed to be like those brainless one . You just had to make yourself to have a good student in school. Why can't your game personality just show and affect your good student image that was emboldened into you."
Shawn looked at Richard and spoke "New things happen everyday aren't you aware of that"
Richard continued staring at Shawn before saying to his minion "Let him go"
"Phewww" Shawn said in his mind as he walked on and entered the class.
"I really need to get this guy off my tail. It's a good thing that we do not have maths today. It seems like he didn't know that" Shawn sat in his seat and dropped his bag while placing his books into his locker.
After that moment.
"Bell ringing!!!"
"It's time for assembly. I better head to the hall" Shawn said as he left the classroom but at the other door. He didn't want to encounter that gang again.
He went out of the classroom and entered a large building which was painted blue and white. He entered the building and saw many people walking into the hall and gathering.
The students all filed up in lines depending on the class you were.
Shawn went to his class line of the boys and stood at the back. He was 1:72 meters tall. In his class, he was a bit taller than some of the boys and was in the average section.
The assembly started with prayer and marching off the students to their classrooms.
After that, the first class started and everyone sat down in their respective seats. Shawn's friends Charles, Harry and Stephanie day down beside him. This was how his gang operated. They stood close to each other so as to keep an eye out for each other.
The teacher for today was known as Mr Tom. Mr Tom was a man around the age of 62-65 years. He walked into the class and was greeted by the students. He taught English to the students.
Most of the students loved his class because he had a sense of humor when it came to teaching the subject and always made sure that you were rewarded for your hardwork whenever you completed your assignments e.g essays, writing and so on well.
But not everyone can have the same opinion about one person. Only the majority will crowd the views of the minority into the drain.
The class that Shawn was in was known as class A2 for the students. There were 29 students in the class.
Classes started at 8:30 am and ended at 14:30. There were three breaks each of 10,15 and 25 minutes in-between the classes.
A class was 40 minutes.
"Alright everyone. We have come to an end of today's class. Your homework is to write on the how civilization has progressed and how the progress has influenced the society. No less than 1,200 words and to be submitted on Thursday" said Mr Tom as he was packing the books on his table.
"Sir!!" a student said as he raised up his hand.
"Alright lazy bones. 900 words and submitted on Friday" said Mr Tom as he took the books and was about to leave.
"Let me help you with that" Shawn said as he got up from his seat and took the books from Mr Tom's hand.
"Thank you Shawn. You have good manners" said Mr Tom as he walked on and Shawn carried the books.
When he entered Mr Tom's desk in the staff room he was surprised to see the huge amounts of books on the English teacher's desk.
"Shocked. Well I'm almost an old man and I'm not used to using the gadgets of today so I have no other choice but to read books. Even on my phone I still read books"
"Well what can I expect from our English and the Literature teacher. No wonder you have a lot of grammar capable of blowing the trees away"
"Who taught you how to flatter people" said Mr Tom.
"I learnt it" Shawn replied.
"Well you're terrible at it. Now carry those legs of yours and march to class" said Mr Tom.
"Alright. Alright" said Shawn as he walked towards the door and left the staff room.
He returned to class. Everyone was planning to go the library since it was the next on the timetable for two classes. After all, phones were not allowed.
But of course not everyone wanted to go and some decided to hide in the classroom or go somewhere else.
Shawn, Harry, Charles and Stephanie took their books and headed towards the library. According to their plans they could research more on the homework given to them or just read ordinary books before the class that was after the break which was after the library.
Shawn and his group headed towards the library and sat together before going to look for books on the shelves. Shawn made his way to a nearby shelf. While searching for tags he managed to find some which were about history.
But that was not what he found that made him so excited. He found a book that was titled "The Evolution Of Man From Ancient Times"
He could read the book and find some important facts and points that would be very useful in his writing.
He could also discover something that could be useful for the world of Ornio and implement it. He had found a solution to the problem that could give him headache. After all, his phone had been taken by his mom and his PC had no data to use for research.
The others could ignore it because they could use their phones when they got home.
Author's Note- I'm looking for ideas about what I should make Shawn implement into his world. You are free to give your thoughts in the comments.
I might not post stories for this book for a few days or it might be one chapter every two days. I'm having a bit of a tight schedule and need to cut some things off.
So sorry about that, but when I'm done I'll start posting three chapters every two days.
