All's Well That Ends Well (3)

Monday morning. 9:45 am.

The sun shone brightly today. The birds outside chirped and hummed a very mood-lifting tune as they danced around the tree crowns and branches. There were smiles and cheerful voices drifting in every classroom. Though bad news about one of the most infamous students spread last Saturday, for everyone else in this academy, the world was still very beautiful and full of hope!

Okay, that was a lie...

Today was a rainy Monday and there were lesser students than usual. The gloomy weather, of course, had infected the absentees with something called laziness disease. Aside from that, today was just going to be a 'checking papers' day. Students felt like it was perfectly okay not to partake in it.

As usual, no amount or type of scandal could make the management announce a break. There were still classes, but since the exam had just finished last Friday, the teachers only made students help in marking test papers.
