“Of course, the class fee is a small problem. As class teacher, I am upset that teachers always exclude our class. This is equivalent to everyone looking down on us!” Having said that, nearly half of the class, along with the teacher, start tearing up.
“Teacher! This time, we will definitely take the first!” An Chuxia could not help but stand up and take the podium. Tears run down the class teacher’s face.
“Yes! We will, An Chuxia sister, we will take first!” She didn’t know who made the statement but everyone in class starts chanting: “An
Chuxia! Come on, An Chuxia!”
The cheering made her emotional. What’s going one? Everyone wants her to participate! If they only count a person’s score, truly, she’ll take first. But the goal isn’t about getting first place, it’s elevating the class average! As long as there are three or four zeroes in the group, it’s an all-or-nothing situation.
“Quiet!” She picks up a book and slams it on the table. Immediately, the whole class becomes quiet, waiting for her to speak.
She looks at the class with excitement. “I can’t win this game alone, okay? What’s needed is the class’ average. Average!”
The class remains silent.
“Teacher, is our class time over?”
Stunned,
over?”
Stunned, the teacher looks at her at the podium. “Yes, we’re now in the review stage.”
“Then, teacher, would you be able to give me the opportunity… just for the rest of the week, to transform our class?” He sees the sincerity in her eyes. She stands in front of the class like she was a teacher. He didn’t want to acquiesce.
However, this is her second bag of miracles. The first is being transferred to Stein College. They said she will be legendary. But for now, she’s more of a contradiction.
“Please, teacher, give me this moment to give the review.”
Despite the moment of shock, he readily allows her to
her to teach. He simply walks down the aisle and says, “Students, if this review scrapes you from the bottom of the barrel and make you soar to the top, I will offer my weary bones and work extremely hard for your success.”
An Chuxia’s mouth twitches. “It’s not enough that we just get out of last place. What I want is to be first in the city.”
The students are shocked. She is so imposing as she radiates in confidence. The student folding origami trembles as he looks at An Chuxia.
“Teacher, can you sit at my desk? I want to start the review.” As soon as the teacher sits, she teacher sits, she starts.
The first thing she does isn’t head for the podium. Instead, she heads to the table with the lighter and the box of cigarettes. With one hand, she shoots the box into the trash like a basketball.
Picking up the lighter, she heads toward the poker players. She takes the cards and burns them. Everyone watches her with astonishment.
Then, she throws away the mirror a girl was peering through. She looks god-like on the podium once she gets in front of the class.
“Starting today, I don’t want to see anything in class that has nothing to do with learning.”
Quietly, a sentence is uttered. “Fine… .”
