We now take a brief moment to enter the mind of Kurtis.
"Why is English literature exist. You know what should exi- did this year 7 just barge me? Get your 5'2 dumbass out my way".
He subtly barged past him.
"I don't 'hate' younger years in general. I just dislike the ones that think too big of themselves. Like, you've only been here for a year. Humble yourselves and dip. Wait wasn't I thinking of something?
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. English. It's my worst subject after RE. I'll get onto that later. My teacher is Ms Rolands. Caribbean descent and thin with the 'I'd like to speak with the manager' type haircut.
She's... well... I don't like describing people with the word 'bad' but... she's not a good teacher. First off, she doesn't teach, she simply gives essays, essays and another for homework. The amount of workload she dumps on us makes me wonder if she knows we have other subjects. In fact, that's the whole English GCSE. What is the point of remembering two plays, a novella and 15 poems only for 1 or two of those poems and a section of one of those plays to be on the actual test. A lot of unnecessary effort if you ask me.
I mean, maybe my brain isn't made for this type of thinking. I've got a mathematical brain. It's all maths, physics, black holes and Godzilla up in here. I have no idea what Jon Arbuckle meant when he said 'the curtains shaded blue like the sky'. Probably ran out of ideas or something. I can't read minds from the pa-"""Kurtis. Homework"
"I didn't get to finish it"
Pretentiously long expectant sigh "I am concerned. Very. Concerned. Why is that, Kurtis?"
"...I have other subjects"
"OH REEEAAALLY? Steve, sir. Did you have other subjects?"
What the hell? Why is she even-
"Uhhh yes miss. I did"
"And did you finish the homework?"
"Yes miss"
Slow pretentious turn back to me "what's your excuse?"
"Like I said. I have other subjects. It's like when you mark tests, you have other stu"-
"What makes Steve's subjects different from yours?"
"Well the actual subjects he has"- why the hell has she walked off? You asked for an excuse and you're not hearing it? You're as disrespectful as the students you teach. If you want to know why I couldn't do it just ask. Gosh
"15 minute detention after school"
"I can't I've got booster"-
"I don't want to hear it, Kurtis"
English. What a bloody bother. Damn it, it's my first solo chapter in this book and I'm already moderately annoyed, what a pain. Oh well. Next chapter".That was the mind of Kurtis.
