"Good morning sir."
"Good morning Edwina, how are you today?"
Eddy replied to his Year 10 student's greeting while he still had his eyes on his computer screen, but quickly stopped reading and looked up to face his student.
"Hmm. Edwina, you look a bit different today."
"You think so, sir? In a good way or bad ?"
"I think you look nice but I can't tell how you're different."
Edwina gave a shy smile.
"I'm a bit dense with these things. I'm sorry if you actually had a 30 cm haircut and I haven't noticed. I've been slapped by my sister with that one before."
Edwina giggled.
"Don't worry sir, it's not the hair."
Edwina smiled and walked towards her friends without telling Eddy what the change was.
Eddy shrugged as he watched Edwina reach her girlfriends. Upon her approach, they all looked at Edwina and squealed.
"Ooooh Edwina, they look great~~!!!!"
"You look sooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuute!!!!"
"Brett, you should've seen her friends' reaction. Their response time was 0.001 seconds."
"Well Eddy, at least you noticed there was some kind of change?"
"Yeah, but I felt pretty stupid not knowing what the change was. So, you think you can you enlighten me?"
"What, me ?? How would I know?? I have absolutely no idea!!"
"Well you're no bloody good use for me then are you?"
"Humph."
Brett pouted indignantly.
The next day Eddy was in the teacher's lounge doing some paperwork.
Brett approached his table with two mugs of coffee. Eddy noticed his approach and looked up.
"Brett, for me?"
"Yah, I thought I'd try to be a bit bloody useful for ya."
"Oh my god Brett, I was joking about that yesterday!!"
Brett grinned.
"Yeah, I know."
"Thanks for this man, gosh I so needed this, I was about to lapse into a coma."
They sat in silence for a while as they enjoyed the first few sips of their hot beverage.
It was Eddy who started the conversation.
"...So Brett I had my Year 10 class again today."
"Oh yeah? And that student of yours?"
"Yeah, her name is Edwina."
"Good morning sir."
"Good morning Edwina... Hmm.. you look different again."
Edwina giggled.
"Yes, I changed it a bit."
