章節 16: Chapter 16 - Lucky me.
The Maths Teacher, Mr Roberts looked at everyone and said "If you've completed your assignment, submit it to my office after that class has been completed."
"Yes," the Students replied.
Shawn in his heart was literally screaming in joy. He was truly lucky indeed.
"Good today we will he starting a new topic called matrices"
"First you must understand the way a matrix looks and their arrangements.
We'll be starting with a row matrix.
He then proceeded to explain the various matrices used in mathematics before he started the calculations.
Soon, the bell meaning an end had come to the class rang. "Thank you for coming to teach us Mr Roberts Sir," the students all got up and thanked him and as a way of sending him off.
"Remember to submit your assignments to my office immediately" Mr Robert said as he turned and walked out the door. Apparently he was busy today and so he decided to skip the 'class review of assignment' session and ordered the students to just submit.
Shawn, now very happy, knew that he had to wait for Richard to leave the classroom before taking his note with him or telling someone to help him to submit it.
When he surveyed the classroom, it seemed that Richard had been bored and apparently left the classroom, Shawn then turned to Stephanie.
"Let me guess, you don't want Richard to see you with your note and harass you, so you want me to be the one who submits it for you," Stephanie raised an eyebrow.
Shawn nodded.
"Look Shawn I think that it is about time that you get rid of this guy that is just causing you trouble asking for your assignment. It's just math but soon it is going to be other subjects and eventually the examinations.
You know how strict the school is, you get caught and your paper gets canceled and you might eventually be expelled. Maths is the only trouble with Richard but his dependence which might fall into you is going to also affect you"
"So what you are saying is...."
"Tell him no, flat and plainly. If he keeps coming back then you are going to go through a lot of problems and a lot of forcing and coercion" She said.
Shawn remained silent for a while and sighed "I get it. I'm going to get rid of this guy once and for all, thanks for the advice Steph"
He then grabbed his note from his desk and proceeded to head to the staff room.
He opened the door of the classroom and went straight to the staff room to submit the assignment. It was a bit distant so he had to speed up by running for a while until…
"Didn't you say that you haven't done the assignment?" said a familiar voice.
"Here it comes," Shawn thought to himself, turning to face Richard.
"Sorry, I lied. I'm not your slave and it's not my duty to give you my assignments to copy. If you don't understand, ask someone to teach you don't try to write what you don't understand; it won't help you in the long run.
Sorry but this math dependence of copying isn't going to work so please excuse me" he said in a flat tone.
Richard who heard the words was shocked at the refusal that had been thrown at his face.
"Rather than wasting your time playing, maybe you should spend it asking for guidance," Shawn added before he proceeded to walk to the staff room.
Richard's minions who had been there with him looked at Shawn angrily and were about to approach him in an act of defense. But before they could do that Richard raised his hand halting their advance.
"Let him go," he said.
Shawn breathed a sigh of relief as he walked to the door. Initially, was expecting retaliation, his books thrown and materials destroyed and the issue of bullying brought into his peaceful life.
But no matter what he wasn't going to do what he knew was wrong. If they didn't understand it and he kept dodging eventually he would be found out and threatened. And the moment he yielded then it won't stop.
"Stephanie was right," he murmured.
Then his focus shifted to the figure sitting on a desk in front , with his head focused onto his laptop and furiously typing.
Apart from that, there were others who had their hands busy with their devices or some paperwork.
"If it isn't one of the students who gives me less headache on assignments" Mr Tom, another of Shawn's teachers said.
"Thank you for your compliment sir" Shawn replied.
Mr Robert's looked up at him and smiled "Drop your note over there" he pointed his hand towards a particular spot on his desk which Shawn walked up to and dropped it before walking off.
"Shawn you have great potential, don't waste it"
"Alright sir. I'll keep your words in mind" Shawn nodded before leaving the staff room.
He came to find no one outside the door and heaved a sigh of relief again before walking to the classroom. But before walking there he headed to the cafeteria. The place where snacks and food stuffs were sold.
He bought a few snacks one which was known as neuros and some chocolate bars.
He just loved chocolate flavored snacks and they were his best and he loved to eat. His mum who knew about his excessive love for it placed him on a chocolate regulating diet.
Surely her son couldn't be having broken teeth and holes around his 20's. With ladies who looked at appearances how was he supposed to attract a good daughter in law.
In Fact she even had a meeting with the school principal on curbing Shawn's excessive love for chocolate which was implemented.
The cafeteria woman would inform the principal about what had been bought and the principal would inform his mom.
Pushing that out of his mind, Shawn walked to the classroom door only to hear a loud ring before groaning out of annoyance. The 10 minute break was over and it was time for the next class to begin.
Shawn sat on his seat and prepared himself for the next class known as designing.
It could be graphics or website design. Wednesdays and Fridays were the days allocated for other activities apart from that of the class today.
The class had started with the instructor Ms Thompson who walked in with a smile and after the class greeted she asked, "Greetings children how have you all been doing?"
"Ummm. Ma'am we are teenagers" A female student said.
"Of course you are. But you have yet to reach 18 years of age so I can still call you children even though you are in the stage of becoming adults. But if you want to be addressed as teenagers then alright"
"Let us begin with today's class of designing. As usual I can not be teaching you people everything about these two topics as today will be allocated to website designing. Watch this video and give me your thoughts" She said as the interactive board which was apparently at the back of the class started.
The Chairs were all changed backwards and so did the desks but by simple movement as they did have some buttons to create the move action.
The students all pressed the buttons and the entire class went on a 180 degrees turn.Time was of essence not to delay the class by manual moving and changing.
The board changed and the class began, the notes began to cave in from the force of the pens being placed on them.
Time for the world to know what they have been writing.
Ms Thompson did not waste any moment and turned on the board before playing a video about website designing.
Class was going well until the period was declared over and she had to leave the class.
The students all pressed the buttons and did another roundabout turn to the normal writing board of the class. The Science teacher known as Mrs Olivia then entered.
It wasn't time for the experimenting section as that was done on Thursdays and the normal classes were Monday and Wednesdays.
She began to teach on the element Carbon and its properties and other stuff like that.
The time to write had gone as the bell rang again for the students to go for a second break. This was the time for eating and playing during the last break.
For lunch, Shawn had chicken wings and chips.
Sports will start at the next period which involves everyone being ready for a bit of testing and training.
They all ran to the sports hall where the instructor was already waiting for them. The practices began in the end as they had just eaten. It was just a fit of light movements and nothing that warranted running and other activities such as stretching and others.
Like that, the school day continued until the students were receiving the bell ringing which
indicated for them to return home.
Unfortunately, the weather had future plans for them. The Rain dropped heavily and all of a sudden, like it was summoned by a grand magician to descend upon the world.
The rain flowed and hailed for more than 40 minutes. Since he wasn't going anyway, Shawn proceeded to stay with his friends in school and gist on different stuff.
"Time really flies fast." Stephanie started the conversation with those words.
