Drabble Seventy-Eight - Japanese Class

#78

~Sang~

I stared at the front of the class, watching Dr. Green explain how to pronounce some Japanese words while looking rather bored. The class, apart from me and Victor, weren't listening. Most of them were playing games on their phones or texting.

A boy, Jake or something like that, sat across from me put his hand up urgently and Dr. Green turned around, frowning.

"You, the boy with the stupid hair, what is it?"

Jake touched his hair self-consciously. It was pretty ridiculous, I had to admit. It looked like it was defying gravity with the amount of gel he'd slathered onto it, mashing it into a giant ball of spikes. If the style were to be named anything, I decided it would be called the 'Demented Porcupine'.

"Uh...Can I, um, go to the toilet?" he asked in a small voice. Dr. Green smiled happily.

"I love this part of the job. Did you know that the fate of your bladder rests in my very hands? Not literally, of course, that would be kind of strange."

"So can I..?"

"What have you ever done for me, stupid-haired boy? Is there any reason I should allow you to?"

Jake muttered something under his breath, shifting uncomfortably in the seat.

"Sorry, what was that?" Dr. Green asked, smiling a full-on smile now. He was amusing himself; he'd been bored with the class before, and now he was just amusing himself. I knew that.

"Becos am goona pss myslf on yur flur," Jake said, his speech so quiet that it sounded like a mashed up frenzy of the words.

Dr. Green cupped his ear to tell him to speak louder.

"Because I'm gonna p*ss myself on your floor if you don't let me!"

He just chuckled and smiled even wider, ignoring the snickers of the other students.

"Now wouldn't that be interesting to see."

"Please let me just go to the bathroom."

"Begging now, stupid-haired boy? I've seen monkeys grovel better than that."

"Please, please let me?"

I turned around to see Victor make eye-contact with Dr. Green seriously. Sean sighed.

"Fine. Go on then, stupid-haired boy," he granted. Jake practically ran out of the door.

"It's times like this when I remember why I like this job," Dr. Green said happily. "Now where was I? Oh yes, Japanese verbs."
