Extra Drama
The noisy sounds that came out of the class to announce the presence of the students waiting for their teacher to attend made you pity for their mouths and made you wonder how their tongues never hurt them till now. Murmurs were switching from one to another. Gossips were freely available between girls. Rumors were flying from here to there until HE came and made them stop. Mr. Gilbert, here he came, So pay attention and rest the drums." Good morning, class. I am Will Gilbert Mr. Gilbert. I am going to teach you history for the rest of the semester. The last teacher left the school for personal reasons. We will have a lot of fun together but most importantly we have to study hard. Any questions before we start? " His tone was deep and lacked emotions. He tried to speak more formally but ended up talking like a boring journalist in his first show. His eyes were never innocent. He searched for someone specific until his eyes rested on the aim. He waited for him to make mistake and he was pretty sure that the guy on the other side was waiting for him to do the same.
The boring voice of Mr. Will reading the slides of his presentation made everybody sleepy. A lot were yawning and some were already sleeping at the back that you could even hear them snoring. The rest of them were on their phones.
" What's wrong with you? You seem fresh today? Did everything work out with Jeff? I saw both of you heading towards the cafeteria yesterday ." Nour kicked Mariam's leg lightly that she noticed later that she forgot to breathe. But what caught her attention was that Mariam unlike wise was getting attention to whatever Mr. Will was saying.
" Nour, not now. You will get us kicked " She whispered back and her eyes were still focused on the PowerPoint trying to follow up with her teacher. How could someone change so fast like that? She was not that easily distracted person either, but at least "Mariam" that Nour used to know was taking things easier but now Mariam was acting strictly unlike usual. She was about to say something to Nour but then the louder voice of Mr. Gilbert hushed her making all the class paying attention to what was happing.
Here, what was happening:
Mr. Gilbert shouted at Hamza. " Hamza, leave your phone and pay attention. " He waited for a reply but got nothing as expected. He shut the smartboard and with threatening steps, he headed toward Hamza's seat who was sitting beside him one of Sarah's minions. Wait, where was Sarah? She was not in the class and didn't even attend for a couple of days. What was she planning to do after losing all her fellows and mostly her boyfriend and let us not talk about Hamza who couldn't even look at her again?
Ooh, switch back to where we stopped. Yes here! Hamza didn't flench or even look at his teacher. He was still holding his phone and the other students were watching with pleasure. And Mr. Gilbert repeated " Hamza, I've said a word. "
