I tried to act as cheerful as possible. Being a humble person, I had to say hello at least! "Hi, I guess you remember me." He looked at me and turned away immediately. What? Am I that ugly? "How are you Vaozi?" He mumbled something that I hope meant that he was fine. I can't believe I have to sit with him on the first day.
I tried to look at some of my classmates and spot a few who I expected to be with me this year. Unfortunately, the class hadn't begun yet. I repeatedly found myself glancing at the clock, over and over even though I wasn't keeping track of the time. The options for entertainment were that slim.
I took out a pen and slid it in my pocket, uncapping and capping the pen every second. I took a few breaths and tried to stop my face from becoming redder. Calm down, I told myself. This is just another random day at school. No one's going to bully you or anything. It's going to be just another random day.
The teacher stood up and introduced herself. I noticed a beautiful heart-shaped watch on her left hand and a diamond ring on her finger. Her blush-colored long-sleeved shirt and her pencil skirt that matched colors with her shoes made her look very simple, yet charming. She spoke words that my mind refused to pay attention to because I could feel my anxiety building up.
I looked down to feel my fat belly. Sometimes, I wish I could ask my Google Assistant to delete it.
"Okay everyone, my name is Mrs. Rosy. I will be your English teacher for this year. I hope we can get along with each other. Forgive me if I mispronounce your names, I tend to forget them. Welcome to the New Year and let's begin with the introductions."
I let out a deep exhale. Now is the time to look around and breathe.
Do you know that you have a little voice in your head with which you talk to yourself and think aloud? As I was looking at everyone, my inner thoughts began to voice their opinions as usual, "Oh, I see you. Wassup. Oh, I know you. I saw you bullying a small kid before, and now you're the one being bullied. Oh hey, you hit puberty. Oh hello girl, long time no see".
I like seeing old friends but some of them are a pain in the ass.
I paid attention to everyone passing by. The way a person walks reveals a lot about their identity. I noticed several pairs of legs walk past me, each person taking turns to do their introductions and my turn hadn't come yet.
It was when I was deeply analyzing that I noticed someone just pass me. He was walking very confidently and held a proud and rich aura around him. The fragrance he left behind might probably be due to the excessive use of his manly perfumes.
It's strange why feminine perfumes don't last long.
"My name is Kevin and I ..." I might have gone temporarily deaf, the moment I laid my eyes on him. This guy looked like my next mistake.
