Vivienne's P.O.V.
Okay, okay, next lesson is Chinese.
Ugghh. I hate Chinese. they teach Chinese using Putonghua. why the heck would anyone want to do that? I've been learning Chinese with Cantonese in Primary school, I can't stand to change channels and use Putonghua instead of Cantonese. This is seriously effecting my learning speed.
Okay, stay calm, don't go insane. Just go grab your books from the locker and remain motionless in your seat thinking about your life for an hour. You can do this.
"Bye Vivienne! See you in recess!" Rebecca shouted, on her way out.
She's so lucky, she's considered a "non-Chinese" student, so she can study the easy Chinese course. I swear, their Chinese level is lower than primary one Chinese in a traditional Chinese school. They literally start from the basics. If I were to study in their class, I would definitely get the top in class, and I wouldn't even need to study for the exams!
Unfortunately.. I'm stuck in this traditional Chinese class, forced to study stories dating back 150 years ago when famous poets were everywhere. Teachers force us to memorise their poems, and gives us dictation on them. I don't even understand why they want us to memorise them.. they aren't useful to daily lives anyway.
Like.. someone is gonna come up to me on the street, and say "yo give me your money or I'll punch you in the face" and then I say, 「天南地北，人生不能從傷害別人而收到平安......」Halfway through the poem that guy would have already either beat the hell out of me or fall asleep. What do they expect, them to say, "Oh! That's sooo touching! I won't ever steal things ever again!"... nope! So it's just another time waster.
Just then, my stomach let out a sound that is basically the equivalent of an elephant's mating call. Loud enough for the person sitting next to me to hear. 「無錢買早餐？」( Didn't have money to buy breakfast?) He asked.「我有食早餐wor.. 」( But I ate breakfast today..) Now that's just.. so... strange. I had been full after I ate breakfast too. Only an hour had passed (math lesson) and I'm already hungry? That's.. not possible...
What is wrong with me today?
