End of POV
Miss Tina looks at youth in front her with interest taking notice of how the boy's eye keeps rolling like bearings.
The most important part is that, this strange boy seems to be talking but no sounds is coming out
"My dear it looks like you are lost while trying to locate your siblings, hope is not completely gone, you can check the next class room to know if who you are looking for is there or not" Miss Tina advised since no one among her students seems to recognize this boy
"Hey maybe you can tell us there names, we might recognize or know about them you know " Zeuroh chips in
Manikad(POV)
" What is wrong with this teacher, brother this sister that and I heard something about being lost, as in is she thinking that I am lost or something and why is she pointing at another class room, is she asking me to go there.
Is this also talking to me? I wish I can talk like him without any worries. He thinks he can do better better than me if he's my shoes.
Aah! Why didn't I think of it, I nearly forgot . Damn me! W. here is that written note the principal gave me, hmm here it is in my back pocket let me give it to her"
POV ENDS
Miss Tina was amused when she saw the boys action of searching his pants pocket and taking out a piece of paper but her face became serious when saw the handwriting on it because as a staff who often deals with principal of a school it will be a complete joke if she couldn't even recognize the handwriting
" I think the principal have a word for me" she took the letter from him and glanced at it
" I see , I understand, so this is how it is, ok so you are the missing piece after all, but is that why you w
" Teacher let him bring his locker close to my, you know , he is taller than most of us at the back ." Zeuroh try to reason.
" And then, how does that his or your business? Miss Tina asked
"Is just because I don't want him to be obstructing our view of the Black board with his head" Zeuroh didn't back down
"Yeah teacher he is right let him come over to our side" supported karim who is by the left side of Zeuroh.
"Ok I see what's going on ' since you claimed to be dwarf while he's the giant, then let us do it like this. Two of you split up and you Zeuroh come to the middle of the first row of seat while you karim pack your books and move to the right side of the front row close to the door" miss Tina said trying to rearrange there sitting positions so that they won't be close to each other.
" Is like both of you are deaf or something " asked Miss Tina as none of them is making a move or reacted to his instructions earlier
" Teacher don't mind Zeoroh, who said that the new student is obstructing my view? Liar! Hey zeuroh mind what you are saying. If you want someone to sit beside you just say it clearly and stop beating around the bush, and be involving someone in your mess. Teacher don't mind him I can really see clearly from here, with or without the new student sitting in front of me, going that side is really unnecessary " Karim begged after shifting all the blame to Zeuroh.
" Hey Karim are you out of your mind since when did I ask you to butt I n when the boss are talking and now you're blaming me. Thank your stars that teacher is here, if not I would have pounce on you and teach you a serious lesson you will not forget for the rest of your life " his face was red with anger after having his favorite sitting position changed and someone shamelessly blaming him for that, it really annoyed him
" Haha look who is talking, let me tell you you something you don't know, you already being in this school for centuries before my arrival is none of my concern, you having a great influence in this school to the extent of reaching heaven is none of my concern, so don't think since I am new to this school that you can intimidate me with your words " karim fires back without holding back
" You you....if I....if I...." Zeuroh is already shaking due to anger that he could not even speak properly.
" Enough! shouted miss Tina after watching how this fellas exchange word without showing any regards to her as if she is not existing at all.
There body went stiff with dreads, their nemesis they concluded in their minds while waiting for their judgment. It's now that they just realized that there is teacher in the classroom whom they have been in the presence of all this while, there's no redemption this time.
" You know what since you guys can talk with confidence like this regardless of who's in front of you, maybe we should put those qualities into good use, boldness boosted by confidence what a good combo. I will get in touch with the person in charge of morning assembly tomorrow and inform him that there's change of plan because I want you two to give us speech based on this title ' hardwork and discipline gives birth to success and I want it to be twenty minutes speech so you can elaborate on exactly how is possible,but since there won't be time to waste it will be reduced to ten minutes speech I will make sure of that. Oh tomorrow assembly will really be interesting" At this time her face is full of smiles, she looks like someone who's is looking forward to her Christmas present with a face full of anticipation.
The two criminal s who looks likes they have sentence to live imprisonment sat there on their seats with blank face, mind spinning like electric fan . "When did it come to this they wonder". Who would have thought that it will only take few minutes to get them promoted from class teacher to school teacher, what a twist of fate. Well, is it not tomorrow, a fter tomorrow everything will get back to normal. They gave themselves a knowing looks mixed with a smile as if they had come to a tacit understanding , it's easy after all ', both concluded in their mind.
Unknown to them the shift in mood was caught up by miss Tina which surprised her as she wonders what might be the source of their confidence because as far she remembers Zeuroh always the type that can't stand on stage and have all attention focused on him , he will rather starve for one month that do it no matter how big or small the stage is , it doesn't matter.
So it come as a surprise to her, is the new boy giving him confidence' she wondered. Well that's good for him, what is the name of that boy? Hmm I think is kerem, we will see how you perform tomorrow ". She concluded to herself as she turns to deal with the new student who is still standing at door but went stiff as certain thought crossed her mind, to clarify it she took a glance at Zeuroh and Karim but seeing that neverending smiles that still plasters on their face as they made their way to there new sitting position, she couldn't help but ask with some doubt.
"Hey two of you, I hope you are not planning on skipping class tomorrow right" but seeing them their open eyes like someone who has seen a ghost and a mouth open wide that it can easily accommodate two eggs told her all she needs to know.
" So this is what you have in mind all this time. Mhm you think it will easy to escape your punishment ? Keep on dreaming, I am telling you this if you like skip class till the end of the term your punishment will be waiting for you.
Let's do it like this until you serve your punishment whenever you are not allowed to skip class talk more of absence from school." With that being said , she focus her attention to the new boy is still standing besides her.
Both can only slump in dejection as they released an exaggerated sigh's to their misfortune.
