A Hard Pill To Swallow

What? That can't be right, not a single person can answer this simple problem but every single one of you is acting like you know everything. Mr. Bean our advanced calculus teacher taunted the whole class. He loves doing this to his students, it's either embarrassing them in front of the whole class or he would talk down to the whole class and that is exactly what he is doing right now. I've been trying to solve it for fifteen minutes, but I have no idea how.

Don't get me wrong, I am good in all my academics, but this type of problem hasn't been discussed at all. I looked at Ellie asking if she managed to solve the problem, but she shook her head. She is a brilliant student, and if she can't solve it, it is impossible for me. I looked around looking for the twins and they were nowhere to be found. I wonder where they are.

Suddenly, the door opened causing every student to turn in its direction. It was Natasha and Emma coming in late which is an odd thing, they always come early, especially in this period.

Music and dance lessons need our attention urgently. Natasha explained to Mr. Bean, and they immediately sat on their seat.

Mr. Bean scoffed and glared at Natasha. Kids these days are too bigheaded they think they know everything. Mr. Bean muttered making sure everyone heard him.

Just because you two coach dance and music here doesn't make you special, life isn't all about art, you'll soon be surprised at how the art career that loves you so much will lead you nowhere. That's why kids like you end up doing nothing and have no future. He continued looking directly at Natasha.

I turned my attention to Natasha expecting her to be enraged or something, but she wasn't, she was calm, so calm for my liking.

Twenty minutes and no one can solve this problem. Mr. Bean motioned to the board. No one answered him and he sneered. I so badly to wipe that smirk off of his face, maybe punching him so hard will do. I almost jumped out of my seat when I heard a chair being moved, it wasn't that loud but the whole class was so quiet that you could hear someone's heart beating. I looked around until my eyes landed on Natasha for the second time. She was the one who caused it. She obviously did it on purpose standing up roughly and making noise. Don't get yourself into trouble Natasha. I was looking at her intently to send her a signal but failed.

She finished the problem in a minute or two and everyone was speechless including me and Mr. Bean. Yeah, I totally forgot and kept on forgetting that the twins are not ordinary. They are geniuses. Geeks? or whatever you may call that especially Natasha.

I used to two different formulas; one is a shortcut I figured out myself if you don't mind. Natasha's bored tone with sarcasm.

O-of c-course not. Mr. Bean stuttered trying to regain his composure. He surely didn't expect that, hell, no one expected that.

Is it correct Sir? Natasha asked emphasizing the word sir.

Ahh- yes indeed. Mr. Bean replied darting his eyes all over the board.

Would you like me to solve a different problem, sir? Perhaps a difficult one? Natasha asked in a mocking tone which she didn't even try to hide.

No, no it's fine.

Natasha nodded and went back to her chair. The class started snickering and whispering, I couldn't help but smile too because seriously I always hoped for the day that Mr. Bean had a taste of his own medicine.

What is this noise all about? Mr. Bean said when he noticed the commotion.

About- you. Someone faked a cough.

Dude, I thought the cough was supposed to cover that up. Lukas shouted and everyone in class erupted in laughter.

Mr. Carlson! To the principal's office, now! Mr. Bean shouted and walked out of the class. Lukas stood up shrugging not even bothered at all that he was being sent to the principal office.
