And Then He Smiled (Logicality)

Chapter 37 - The Winters' Troubles In Autumn

It was the next week. Precisely the second week since school restarted, Monday.

The two Winters made it to school early for once and were now waiting to teach or to be taught.

Patton was currently waiting in his classroom sorting out the slides in powerpoint, whilst Yvette waited outside with the other kids along with some trusted adults keeping an eye out for her.

"Hey Sam!" She yelled to her friend whom just entered the school property as she ran over to them.

I just realised I've never described our friend.

Sam was a small kid for their age. They had fluffy blonde hair and plain old brown eyes. Their face was pretty chubby but charming to anyone who met them. They had a mole on their chin and above their eye brow that makes them stand out from the rest. Other than that, they were friendly.

"Hiya Yvette!" Sam called back as they skipped over towards Yvette with their father slowly leaving the school gates after leaving Sam there.

The two shared a nice hug before Yvette poked Sam's shoulder and said, "Tag!" Before running away with Sam running after her.

The door to the school opened as the two regrasped their breath before running inside by themselves.

Patton's new students finally came into the room, each of them deathly silent as they took their seats and stared directly into his soul.

"Well! Can a few of you start handing out the English books please. 4 of you will do!" He told them, trying to sound as cheery and as welcoming as he could.

The same 4 kids that handed out all of the books from the entirety of last week stood up again and started handing out the books. Yet still, it was unnervingly silence in the classroom.

After only a little more than a minute, everyone now had their books and had opened them up to a new page to start the day. Every single one of them were attentively staring at Patton again.

Patton held his hands behind his back as he smiled awkwardly, "Today, I'd like you all to write a short story based of this image," Patton told them, looking at the board, "You also have to include the techniques on the side of the image,"

"Any questions?" Patton asked, turning his head back to them all.

One kid put their hand up, "Yes?" Patton said, pointing at the kid you put her hand up.

"Can we talk to each other whilst working?" She inquired whilst the eyes of her classmates were stuck to her as she spoke.

Patton smiled as he let go of his hand, letting them fall next to his body, "Yep, as long as it's about the work, but make sure you aren't shouting," He sighed in relief ever so quietly, "And when you're done with the work, swap with someone, read their work and then give them your thoughts about it,"

"And lastly, enjoy yourself, be as creative as you want," Patton told them, "Oh! Also, you can swap with people as much as you'd like, just make sure at least one of your classmates have seen the work,"

He clapped twice before saying, "You can all start now,"

As Yvette sat in class, Mrs Jones briefly explained their work. I guarantee you, it's just as boring as I just explained it in the previous sentence.

Yeah, not much happened in Mrs Jones class, Patton's was more fun to listen to. I think the enjoyment of the classes helped them learn more because Yvette completely forgot everything Mrs Jones taught by time break came around.

Patton was on duty today so Yvette took the opportunity to talk to her dad, "How was your new teacher kiddo? Have you gotten used to her yet?" He asked as Yvette approached him.

She shook her head, "It's really boring to be in there, I wanna go back to your class," She pouted, looking at some rocks on the ground that stared back up at her face.

"Aw, kiddo you can't though, well unless you want to go down a grade," Patton chuckled.

Yvette nodded as she waved goodbye to Patton to go meet up with Sam whom was sitting at a table eating a snack, and by a snack, I mean part of their lunch. "Whunt owun?" They mumbled through the crumbs.

She scoffed, grabbing the other cookie out of Sam's bag. It was chocolate chip and franky quite delicious. "Guwd ruit?" The crumbs continued to spill messily out of their mouth.

"Yep!" Yvette exclaimed as she immediately finished the cookie.

Well I kinda gave up on this chapter, but there's nothing you'll miss, only a description of our pal Sam XD
