Darkness descends.. I search in the howl of the night, snatches of memory lingering faintly in my mind; that was the most irking thing- it was frustrating enough that I was torn between my own imagination and flashback. I chew on my lower lip, stumbling over hills and paddy fields of rocks. Then I stood dead stop. My barefeet was awash in salty seawater, and I inhaled the sea wind smelling of salt, trying to clear my clouded mind. I groped onto a jagged sea rock and sat on its top, sighing. I've been skipping classes, which I have never done and got on my nerves. Who was I? That was the question yet the most difficult to solve.
My family has been saying that I was acting weird, and was taken aback at my sudden drop of grades. But was is the use of being a top student if you don't even know yourself? I assured myself. Besides, I've been tearing apart the entire school library for memory-recovery books based on science, and avoiding looks of suspicion was not easy.
"Pass me the gravy, please," requested father during breakfast.
A figure...it was nearing me-
"Son!"
I dropped the gravy, jumping, and the gravy spilled all over my school uniform. Everyone stared, as I cleaned up, and marched in to change.
"my dear student," said Mrs. Larvender.
I stood. "Yes."
"You may teach your classmates if you wish," she declared, glaring.
I smiled. I had revised. I walked to the whiteboard, and faced the amused looking kids.
"So," I smiled. "what is it that you don't understand?"
I taught them slowly but efectively, and by the end of the class, the class had understood all the concepts that my dear teacher did not manage to teach. My classmates looked eagerly at Mrs. Larvender for her reaction that was quite obvious indeed. Her veins bulged under her wrinkly neck, and her freckles stood. But she had no reason to scold me.
"class-" she began.
"Class dismissed," I declared, and the class's rushed out, yelling in unison, readily grabbing up their lunch pails toward the cafeteria.
I calmly followed them out, stiff under the dagger-like gazes of my dear teacher.
