a Beautiful Soul (a short story) COMPLETED

Chapter 7

Dayenne's POV

Since I am bored to death, although I'm already dead, I went with Dave in his work. I just stay with his side, and I tried to behave. I admire his work as a teacher. I also missed my school days. Students are just pouring in, in the faculty and keeps on asking something to their teachers. Meanwhile, Dave is just quietly checking papers.

"Hey Dave, when are you going to your class?" I asked. I'm a little excited to see Dave teach.

Once again, he put the phone in his ear and pretend to dial a number before answering my question.

"I only have 2 sections for today, the first one will be 10:30am and the other one will be 1:40pm"

"Really? Is that all?"

"Yes. During tuesdays, I only have 2 periods, the rest I have 3"

"Wow! You have a lot of time here in the faculty"

"Yes. Do you have anymore questions?"

"What are you teaching?" 

"Values Education"

"Ows? How do you teach Values?"

"Just like the other subjects."

"Okay. I'll see it later"

The classroom is so damn bright, I wonder if Dave can see me right now. I am actually more visible in a darker room.

"Good Morning Class!" greeted Dave

"Good Morning Sir Dave!"

"Okay, sit down, So class are you all ready for the presentation?"

"Yes Sir!"

"Okay, go now to your respective groups and I'll give you five more minutes to prepare. Make sure you'll give your best because we have a visitor right now."

"Really sir, who?" asked by a girl student

Is Dave reffering to me?

"Oh no. I'm sorry. I forgot she cannot join us right now. Get ready group 1."

The group presentations were enjoyable. It was like the usual classroom presentation, wherein the students usually are not prepared and just perform what they can. I suddenly remembered my high school life. Dave teaches 3rd year high school with a class of not more that 35. They are very energetic and talkative. Infairness to Dave, he has a good classroom management. I can say he is a good teacher. He discussed well and everyone is listening to him. How I wish he was my teacher.

"Okay, Goodbye Class!"

"Goodbye Sir Dave!"

I went out of the room first then I waited for Dave.

"That was cool Dave! You're actually good!"  I said

"Thank you and I hope you mean it"

"Of course"

"Uhm, Dayenne, would you like to go to a park with me? I just want to walk around the park and enjoy the day. I can go out at 3:00 PM since I dont have a class left"

"So you're asking me for a date?"

"It wouldn't count as date since you're a ghost"

"It's still a date, for me. Since we already kissed. Well, unfortunately, I cannot dressed up since it's the only available clothes" I'm referring to my jeans, and white sleveless shirt with a red jacket outfit. And a blue rubber shoes too. It was the clothes I'm wearing in the day that I died.
