Chapter 28 Mrs Doolittle (2/2)
Word got round to the fact that Idol Kyle was squatting in outside 1Es classroom and suddenly, students just had to go to the bathroom - that just happened to be beside 1E. Sure, there were closer bathrooms but who wanted to go there? In the end, Kyle would flash his signature dazzling smile to anyone who walked by, sometimes raising his eyebrows comically which caused the giggling girls to giggle even more before running away.
Kyle found that this was WAY more fun than listening to the monotone drone inside. Maybe he should fall asleep again in her class. He would occasionally shift his weight, while clenching the leg muscles and going on his tip toes. This would help in blood circulation, so that his legs wouldn't fall asleep while being in that position for so long.
When Teacher Doolittle came out 45 minutes later, she was bitterly disappointed. Instead of seeing a red faced, worn out boy with his legs shaking (or his butt on the floor), she found that he hardly broke a sweat. In fact, he stood up at her command, returned the books to her and walked back into class without any visible discomfort. She gritted her teeth.
Looks like the punishment needs to be tougher the next time round, Mrs Doolittle thought to herself. She was sure there would be a next time. Boys like that were always trouble, and only invited trouble. She shared the same sentiment as the Principal, which was why she was appointed as 1F's Class Teacher. Walking away, she headed to the Principal's office to make her report.
The rest of the day went by uneventfully. The other Teachers basically ignored Kyle, and Kyle basically ignored them. As expected of an ”F” class, the enthusiasm of the teachers that taught the class left a lot to be desired. Kyle figured that the reputation of Sakura's Academy was based entirely on the the elite class, or at least the top three classes. The resources, and best teachers probably went there. He would need to compare notes with the others to see how they fared.
Kyle also sneered at the thought of the Principal sending him here. With such awful teaching going on, how would the 'bottom classes' ever go up then? True, most of them around him right now were not really interested in learning but he figured that if the teachers could engage them and make the lessons interesting, they would turn things around.
Instead, the apathy of the teachers created the disinterest in the students, then then made the teachers feel more apathetic. It was quite pathetic, really. For Kyle, he didn't need to attend classes to do well but most of these students do. Their future seemed to be sealed already, and that wouldn't do. Kyle tapped his finger on the desk, thinking that there something needs to be done. This school needed a revamp in some places.
The most major obstacle, of course, was the Principal. That, however, was to be the finale.
At the end of the day, Kyle went over to 1D to pick up Kay. As expected, he caused quite a bit of commotion as he stood by the doorway, peering in. Kay knew he had arrived without even needing to look up, due to the twittering of birds .. er, girls ... all around her.
”Coming, brother. Hold on a sec,” she said as began placing her books in her bag. Kyle walked over and took the books from her hand, putting them into her bag. He swung it casually over his shoulder, and onto his own school bag. Sakura Academy didn't have lockers like Retsu Primary School did, so they had to bring the required books for whatever subject they had that day.
”I can carry that,” Kay insisted, reaching out for the bag.
Kyle took her hand, shaking his head, ”It's heavy.”
”Exactly. You can't carry both our bags,” Kay insisted and tried to release his hand and take her bag. Kyle just held on her hand tighter, refusing to let go. At that moment, all the girls wanted to be Kay's hand and all the guys wanted to be Kyle's hand.
”Come on,” Kyle said as he turned, bringing her along, ”Be good. Don't be stubborn.”
Kay pouted, causing many boy's face to flush beet red and their hearts quicken even more. Some even found difficulty in breathing and had to sit back down. She just looked so adorable and cute that they wanted to rush over and dote on her even more. There was a collective sigh in the whole class after the Smith twins went out.
Life is good, thought the students of 1D.
