FINN & GEORGE

CHAPTER 2

FINN POV:

*school bus horn*

Finn: Goodbye

Dad: Take care, goodluck in your studies, we're happy and proud of you!

Finn: Okay dad, I love you guys.

Dad: I love you too, be safe!

*got on the bus*

When I got on the bus, I ran to the bus window and saw my parents there, smiling and waving at me, so I waved goodbye to them too.

Driver: Let's go, everyone, take your seats.

I sat down on the bus as I seat, I took out my notebook, I write down the things I wanted to eat.

Pasta
Roasted beef
Chicken
Barbecue

Finn: I hope my mom cooks me the food I love.

After a while, a child approached me.

James: Is this seat taken?

*pointed the seat next to me.

Finn: No.

James: Can I sit here next to you?

Finn: Okay.

James: Thank you.

*smiled*

*sat down*

James: By the way, I'm James, what's your name?

Finn: I'm Finn.

James: Nice to meet you, Finn. You have beautiful handwriting, by the way.

I noticed that he was looking at my notebook, I was surprised when he said that, so I quickly closed my notebook and hid it behind me.

James: What are you writing about?

*smiled*

Finn: Nothing.

James: Let me see, I think I saw a chicken there.

Finn: That's nothing.

*laughed*

*bus stopped*

James: Oh, we're here already. We'll talk again on the way back.

Finn: Okay.

James: Goodbye.

*smiled*

I got off the bus and walked towards our school. The bags I was carrying were heavy, so I couldn't walk properly. My shoulders were hurting from the weight of the bag, so I stopped walking and opened my bag. I realized that I had brought a lot of things.

*bell rings*

I didn't expect the bell to ring, signaling that it was time to go in. People and students there were rushing and running to their classrooms, with so many people, someone bumped into me.

*collision*

Finn: Ouch.

*groans*

I fell down and my things dropped, I heard whispers and sudden laughter from the people around me, so I quickly stood up.

Sorry, are you okay?

I looked at the guy, and as I looked at him, he was staring at me. I felt embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

Stand up there!

I stood up while he continued to stare at me, when I stood up, I took my fallen things and he helped me too.

*he picked up the notebooks*

There, it's all good now.

He said with a smile, I noticed the looks from the people around us, so I felt even more embarrassed, I quickly put them in my bag and ran away, I didn't even say goodbye to the guy.

*class hours*

Teacher: Our English class is over, thank you, class.

Ms. Collins said to us.

Teacher: Your next Math teacher is Professor Miller, just be quiet and behave, good luck, class.

Thank you, Ms. Collins.

*she left*

Ms. Collins is very kind, especially Ms. Johnson. For me, they are the best teachers I have ever known. Aside from being intelligent, they are also great at teaching. I learn a lot from listening to them, and I want to emulate them when I grow up, so I really want to work hard in my studies. Just a moment later, someone entered our classroom.

Good morning, Sir George.

George: Thank you, you may take your seat now.

When I looked at him while he was walking, I immediately recognized him. He was the guy I bumped into earlier, and he turned out to be my Math teacher. He looks stern. I still feel shy to look at him because of what happened earlier, so I avoid him.

George: I guess the others don't know me yet, so let me introduce myself first.

*silence*

George: I'm Sir George Miller, you can call me Sir Miller or George, it's up to you.

My classmates listened quietly, and they were looking at our teacher's every word. From behind, I could hear my classmates whispering.

He's handsome.

I'm getting excited.

He's scary.

Bianca tapped me from behind.

Bianca: Our teacher is scary, but he's handsome.

*chuckles*

She whispered to me.

*bosh*

George: Let me talk first, these are the rules in my class. You must take notes of these to always remind you. Listen carefully to every word I will say because I will never repeat it. I only have seven rules and regulations and the foremost

As he spoke, everyone in the class could feel the fear. He really is stern and intimidating.

George: Respect, you must show respect to teachers, classmates, school staffs and the learning environment.

*murmuring*

George: Second is punctuality, you must arrive on time for class and be prepared with all necessary materials. Third is, Silence you must maintain silence during our class unless you are called upon to speak, understand?

Yes Sir!

George: Forth, no eating or drinking, you are not allowed to eat or drink during class, except for water in a clear bottle. Fifth, no leaving the classroom, you are not allowed to leave the classroom without my permission, is it clear?

Yes Sir!

George: Sixth, homeworks. You must complete all homework assignments on time and to the best of their ability. Seventh is participation. Your must actively participate in class discussions and activities, clear?

Yes Sir?

George: And lastly the consequences. Any violation of these rules will result in disciplinary action, which may include detention, suspension, or expulsion. If you disobey me or these rules, you must take the responsibility for the consequences.

*murmuring*

George: It's important to note that strict rules are necessary for a disciplined classroom, it's also important to create a positive and supportive learning environment.

*silence*

George: Any violent reaction? Confusion? Question? Clarification? Anyone?

None Sir.

George: Good! Now let's move on, since we didn't know each other. One by one will introduce their selves.

When I heard that, I became even more nervous and scared. It felt like I couldn't speak in front of my teacher, I was afraid of him.

George: Anyone wants to go first? Who wants to volunteer?

*silence*

George: No one? Okay, I'll just pick a number from your attendance sheet because no one wants to volunteer.

Bianca: I don't want to study here anymore.

Bianca whispered to me.

Wow, I hope it's not me who gets picked.

I'm getting nervous.

Lord, please guide me.

I could hear voices from behind me, we were all nervous and scared of our teacher.

George: Okay! Number 11, Please stand up Finn Anderson.

I was surprised when he called my name. I think I can't do it, I am scared.

Good luck, Finn!

You can do it!

Good luck!

My classmates whispered to me, I slowly stood up from my seat, and they all looked at me.

George: Finn? Come here in front.

*I nodded*

I went to the front and faced my classmates, I was surprised when my teacher placed his hand on my shoulder.

George: Finn, introduce yourself to them.

*I nodded*

Finn: Good morning, I'm Finn Anderson, 14 years old. I'm glad to see all of you again, thank you very much.

*applause*

George: Great job, Finn! You may now take your seat.

I walked back to my seat, Bianca smiled at me, and I saw the nervousness and fear on the faces of my classmates.

George: Finn?

I turned to my teacher and looked at him.

George: So, you're the kid from earlier, I'm sorry again.

*I nodded*

George: That was easy, who wants to go next?
