"One week ago, I assigned each and every one of you to discover more about your parents and grandparents. Please be ready to present to the class after lunch. Class dismissed."
Oh crap. I totally forgot about that.
I sighed. I guess I'll have to skip my delicious lunch to work on this boring assignment. I took out a pencil and a piece of binder paper.
Mom: she's a nurse
Dad: makes wine & sells them
Grandparents:
I stopped writing, my parents never mentioned anything about grandparents.
Well at least none about my grandfathers. Always Grandma Holly and Grandma Serena. I talked to them on the phone. Grandma Serena was nice, she liked talking about books and and the types of literature. And Grandma Holly, she was not the nicest person. She was always cranky. But I heard she loved going to the bar and gambling. Which is crazy because she's like in her eighties.
My grandfathers were MIA.
I went up to Miss Katricia's desk. She was grading homework with her infamous red pen.
She didn't even look up and said, "Yes, Octavian?"
"I, uh, forgot about doing the assignment. And....I just noticed that my parents don't even mention about my grandparents. Grandfathers, specifically."
She stopped grading her papers and looked up to me, right in the eye.
"Then don't talk about them. Say you don't know anything about them. Talk about your parents and your grandmothers."
"Oh. Okay, thank you Miss Katricia."
I was about to walk away when Miss Katricia said, "And Octavian, please, don't forget to do your assignments in the next unit. It's for your own good."
I frowned. "With due all respect Miss, but I don't see how learning about Roman mythology will do me any good in my career later on."
She smiled. "You'll understand someday. You're a smart boy Octavian. See? You've already skipped ahead and knew that the next unit was mythology. Now, run along dear, and don't forget to eat your lunch."
I obediently obeyed and hurried to the lunch tables before the bell of the end of lunch could ring.
