Today was one of the odd days as something "extra" happened in the near ordinary day! This is the day where I got my first small Demerit... The difference is that it is a bigger sentance than a normal demerit and lighter than the BIG demerit. Get 9 of that and bye bye it is of you from the face of that school!
It all happened yesterday, it was during the interval of 2 periods. Before the next teacher stepped into class, I walked out of the classroom and kinda walked passed the back door of the neighbouring class. There he was, Joel, one of my BEST-BUTTIES! Sitting all alone, hoping for someone to kill his boredom, so he asked me to come in and have a talk. At first I turned that "invitation" down, knowing that I might get it if spotted being out of the class by my teacher.
But I cant just leave Joel there, so I linger at the door while talking. Soon I moved into the classroom and actually sat down on an empty chair. Soon he asked me to look through his script which he will be using for his presentation this Saturday. With my experience with scripts, I really wanted to help out. So first I needed an overview of the script. He continued on when my teacher walked passed and saw me sitting there. I went, "SHIT!"
"Why are you in this class? And worst, Talking! You know it is my class and why are you here and not in class. No warning, I'll have to demerit you!" she said in a scary tone.
She is a nice teacher and this is the first experience of her tentrum! I stood there saying nothing but "sorry" as that was the most appropriate word! After that, we hurried back to class with me following behind. I scurried to my desk and was kinda moody. Down her pen went, inking into the discipline file section. There it was code 441 : Out of class without permission, that cause a small demerit. Please note, the teacher wasn't around when I went out, I was the boss of me at that time.
So I was not able to explain for what I was doing out of class, I just went through the day thinking what will happen when I'm asked to the Discipline Room tomorrow(today) morning. The day passed on well, as I forgot the moment as I'm quite a Happy-Go-Lucky guy.
TODAY
My "appointment" was set for the forth period of the day, arghhh, it was English! Why cant it be Chinese period or something far boring!
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
It was already the 4th period, accompanied by the monitors, Chun Hong and Chin Seng(did I mentioned, I'm also one of the monitor of the class), we set of to the Chong Sim's(Dicipline teacher) room. My hear was pounding faster as I've never been in such a situation. I'm an "angelic" student! I thought I would never survive that MARTINET. She is vicious from what I heard so far!
As I walked in, she looked up, all the sudden I felt something like "Just wing it Seumas, she's nothing more than a fur ball(her permed bouncy hair)!"
"So the culprit is a monitor," she said shaking head. "So where were you?"
"I was in the class next door." I replied
"So what were you doing?"
The questions go on and I answered truthfully without showing any sign of weakness for her to attack.
Soon she asked, "Have you had any records before?"
"NO!" I said with force
"No, big or small demerits before?"
What do you think I am? A gang banger or some evil student? I maybe born with a knife but I aint using it on such a ditzy creature!
"Never!"
"Ahhhhh, clean records. I like this...."
I would have slpped her listening to the damn tune she said that last sentence before handing me a big card to fill in my info. After the "registration", she filled up the one of the many boxes with my "misbehaviour"
I went out, normally and I thought I was going to face some interrogation or face up to her long sermons! But thats, what being a student is, sucking up to the dicipline board and laughin about them later with your friends. And having to know that some of the boys which I think are quite good actually already has a record like me, so the school is giving "small demerits" out like it's free... BOOO!
so that ends that "scary experience" which lasted for only 5 minutes.
PS: Joel Teh, I don't blame you for anything!
