Reinstated: Classroom!

Teammate

        Just when I would reassure myself that things were going to be okay this year, I was completely in the wrong. What I had expected to be a fun year to enjoy with my friends, and potentially run the school together, had become a form of comparisons amongst us. Well, Ken and Satoya, in particular. Ken wants to run the school and become the new principal, whilst Satoya wants to stop him by becoming the principal himself. He constantly shames Ken for being a hypocrite, but he's just as guilty by fighting fire with fire! 

"Morning, Ari!" , said Piper, as she walked into the classroom with a bag of sweets. 

"Hey, Piper! Good morning!"  I responded. 

If I'm going to act like Ken and Satoya's current situation isn't overwhelming me, I'd at least have to put up an act and seem like I'm fine. 

"You're here pretty early, what changed?" She asked me, looking at me in a confused manner.

"Well, I slept really early, so that lead to waking up at 6 am this morning. I was also looking forward to today!" I said, in hopes she won't tell that I'm lying. 

"Oh, that makes sense. Well, I brought some more muffins from yesterday. I know you won't be eating them, but I'll leave it in your back pack just in case." She said.

Piper walked towards my backpack and gently placed a bag of muffins in my school bag. She then proceeded to reach into her kit and take out a bento, in which she also placed in my bag. She said she was going to leave some muffins for me, and she places a bento along side it? I guess I'm not the only one who's putting up a front right now. 

"Hey, have any of you seen Ken? I let him borrow one of my games yesterday, and he hasn't returned them." Dante walked into the classroom, holding a tablet and pen in his hands. 

"You walk in and that's the first thing you say?", Blue responded. 

"We haven't seen neither Ken nor Satoya this morning. I think they'll definitely get here shortly along with the others", Is what Piper replied with. 

"Great. Well, when he gets here, tell him I'm waiting in the lobby. I'll be fixing up the attendance system. Since, obviously, I'm the only person who'd be capable of doing so, besides Quinn."  He responded. 

         We all saluted Dante as he walked out of the classroom to head straight to the lobby and perform his duties. While he was gone, Shota and Alec both arrived, and saluted us politely. As the time was going by, we discussed what we would do when the students get to school. Since we were here so early, we had to quickly decide what program we're going to be following. Luckily, when Quinn finally got here, he wasted no time and gifted us a brilliant idea. 

He'd already written down all of his ideas and plans in hopes they will work out. Or, in his case, in hopes nobody else thought of what the first week of school was going to be like. He was the only one who thought it through, and I'm so glad he did! It's not like the students have schedules or anything, so how would we even make sure the school is being ran smoothly? 

"Here is my first idea," Quinn took out his notes, and began to go through all the pages until he found the one in which he'd written on.

"Since we are considered the student council, we'd be the ones to lead classrooms in which the students are staying in. We'd each have to choose one or two main courses to teach. The most important part, is that we each need to know what we're actually teaching. But, we can't all be a hundred percent sure if we'd fit a role. Which is why, today, we are starting off with plan B.", he proceeded, as he reached into his bookbag and took out another sheet of paper, all with our names written on it. 

"I've split us each into 3 teams. In groups of three, we'll be assisting a maximum number of 20 to 25 students into a classroom, and explain to them individually, the procedures we are going to be taking this week."

"Shota, Piper and Dante, will assist class 2-4. Blue, Alec and I will be assisting class 3-2, and..." 

Oh no... Please, Quinn, don't tell me...

Quinn could see exactly what I was thinking. I don't blame him for looking at me worryingly, he could tell I wouldn't be comfortable with the idea of being in a team with Ken and Satoya, who are both feuding right now.

"Ari, Ken and Satoya..." He said. 

"You three will be taking care of the students. As we collect the students names, you three will write them into the computer and send them straight to Dante, who will later log them into the system",  He continued.  

"Are we all comfortable with my idea?" He then asked, confirming.

As soon as we were about to agree to Quinn's ideas, Ken bursted through the door angrily demanding to talk to Satoya. 

"Where is he?!  I gotta to talk to Satoya! Also, what the hell are you all doing in here?", he asked in confusion and anger. 

"Quinn was just asking us something, way to burst in here, Ken!", Blue said, as she chuckled. 

"I don't have time to be playing around here, Blue. What's going on?!" He responded. 

Ken looks really mad right now. To say I'd be the only one who can calm him down is just an understatement. The only way I could explain without getting him to distract the others, is by telling him on my own what was going on. I looked at Quinn and the others, insinuating that I'd leave to talk to Ken alone. 

As I left the room, I told him everything. I explained that we'd have to pair up with Satoya in order for Quinn's plan to run smoothly. Ken didn't even say anything after I was finished. He just gazed at me like I was some kind of homeless man. 

"Ken?" I said, making sure he heard me. 

Ken casually grabbed my arm and signalled me to follow him. I don't know why, but my brain is telling me he's understanding the reason we are doing this, whilst my guts are saying he is acting stubborn and will plan something petty.

I know Satoya will understand and take it easy...

But will Ken be able to face him tomorrow?
