[1 week later]
"Hey Levona , was there homework for eco?" I asked
"Yeah we had to answer those questions on the different sectors in the economy." said Levona
"Shit I forgot about that! Can I get your book to copy it from please? We get eco next period." I asked as I quickly sat down in homeclass.
"Sure. Here you go." said Levona as she gave me her book.
* bell rings signalling it's period 1 *
"Fuck! I only did 1 question!" I said worriedly.
"Well hurry up!" shouted Levona as everyone started leaving the class quickly.
Our economics teacher, Mr Leo, was the worst, most strictest teacher to every exist on this mother green earth. If you didn't have your homework you would get an immediate afternoon detention and he would make you sing in front of the class to humiliate you. Everybody hated him. And everybody make sure to do their homework.
After frantically trying to copy the answers down I eventually stopped because I was already hella late to Mr Leo's class.
As I rounded the corner at the end of the corridor I noticed that everybody was already inside class and that the door was closed. Great , I thought to myself.
I walked towards the door and knocked softly. No response. I guess nobody heard me. I knocked again, harder this time and was met with a very unfriendly face that belonged to Mr Leo.
"Can I help you?" asked Mr Leo in a sarcastic voice.
"Uhm... I'm supposed to be here sir" I said nervously. I could hear some people in the class staring to chuckle softly.
"Yes I know. Why are you late?" he asked.
"Uhh, I had to use the bathroom sir." I lied.
"Did a teacher give you permission to use the bathroom?" asked Mr Leo while folding his arms
"No sir." I said and looked at the ground.
"Get inside Mr Alexander. You have an interval detention tomorrow for being late to my class." he said as he walked back to the students who were now dead silent.
As I sat down in my seat I heard Levona ask me if i finished.
"No. I only finished half." i said nervously. If Mr Leo sees I didn't finish my homework , hello embarrassment and afternoon detention.
"Take out your books everyone , im checking your homework." said Mr Leo as he started walking to the students on the left of the class , which just happened to be where I sat. And lucky me , I sat 3 desks from the front. Yay.
"Ok , thank you Tamia. Thank you Jesse. And this , Mr Alexander? Where's your homework? First you're late to my class then you don't have your homework done. I think you know what's going to happen now." he said
"Yes sir." I said and put my head down and started fiddling with my pen.
"That's an afternoon detention for tomorrow. Now I think you know what else must happen. Go to the front of the class Mr Alexander." he said bitterly.
"Yes sir." I said as I walked to the front of the class.
In that moment I felt like running out of that class.
As I opened my mouth to sing , I noticed that some of the people at the back of the class took out their phones and were waiting for me to sing so they could record this moment.
"Come now Mr Alexander, we don't have all day." Mr Leo said impatiently.
I looked at Levona who gave me a thumbs up and an encouraging smile.
