Teacher's Favourite

*Brrrrrrrrrrrrng*

"Ugh, finally. It's lunch tiiiiiime." Mike says as he stretches his arms

To the left

"Yeaaaa. Finallyyy" as he stretches his legs

To the right

"Yea. Cmon, let's go and get our meals"

The boy,

"Agreeeed"

The squad starts to collect their items and when everyone else in the class saw this, they too started to clean up. The sound of the whole class cleaning up and making a ruckus whilst the teacher is still speaking, annoyed the teacher.

"Why is everyone packing up? I haven't dismissed you yet. I'm still speaking and for whatever reason, I hear a bunch of people already packing up? Tell me, why was everyone packing up? Why? Because the bell went off? Then you thought that class was over and you can go out when I'm still speaking? NO, the bell doesn't dismiss you, I do. And did I dismiss you? NO. So there should be no reason that you should already be packing. As a punishment everyone is now stuck in class for another five minutes."

As everyone in the class hears his speech, they give a sigh of exhaustion and leans back on their seats. Then, the boy replies,

"B-but sir, lunch is only th-thirty minutes. And you've already talked for f-five minutes. So if we wait here any longer, that'll t-take out one third of our lunch time."

The teacher, standing at his stage, speechless over the brave boy's remark, claps, ever so slowly.

"Wooow. So you can do simple maths. That's wonderful. I started to think that all you could do was come to class late and trip all over the place considering that you come to class bruised everyday. Now stay quiet and wait."

The boy, now embarrassed, leans his body back towards his seat, closing himself off. His friends, showing clear concern over him, but too afraid to be reprimanded by the teacher, sit still in their seats, only showing a face full of concern and empathy, whilst staying quiet.

5 minutes later…

"Ok. Time's up. You all can go now. Go to lunch. And boy, I better see you clean after lunch."

"Ok sir."

As the teacher leaves the classroom, the rest of the class follows, except for some other boys and the squad.

Mike,

"That was so f*cking unfair. We had to listen to him talk for 5 minutes just for him to say that we needed to wait another 5 minutes before we could go. I mean, that must be illegal or something right?

Left,

"Yeah, like, what kind of bullsh*t was that. We have to wait 10 minutes just to go eat lunch."

Right,

"Like, 'tHe BeLl DoEsN't DiSmIsS yOu, I dO'. That's such a sh*tty and cliche way of thinking. If you dismiss us, then what's the bell for dumb*ss. I'm surprised he even got the job with the way his brain works."

The boy

"Hahaha yeah, by the way are we going to go get lunch now?"

Right,

"Yeah sure, I am really hungry right now"

Left,

"You're always hungry Josh, that's why you're fat"

Josh,

"Bruh"

Mike,

"Pfft, okokokokokok, let's go get lunch now. I'm hungry too"

Left,

"Ugh fine, you coming with?

The boy

"Yeah sure, but I gotta go wash up first. I don't wanna get into another kerfuffle with the teacher again."

Left,

"Yeah sure, we're gonna be waiting at our usual table, ok?"

The boy

"Yeap, just wait for me there"

Left,

"Okk, byee, see you laterrr."

As the trio leaves for the cafeteria, they leave the boy behind. He walks to the front of the class, passing by the group of boys still inside the class. He walks to the exit door and walks to his locker. He puts his stuff away and locks his locker back. He runs to the bathroom to get himself clean. He enters the bathroom and gets multiple pieces of tissues, wets them and starts to wipe his clothes and face clean. But to do so, he has to take his clothes off. So instead of standing out in the open in his underwear, the boy decides to just go into a stall and sit down while he cleans his shirt. During his cleaning, a group of boys came in. The boy stops his cleaning and stays as quiet as possible. He has no idea why he has that feeling to not make his presence be known but he does it anyway. Then he overhears a chat between the group of boys.

"Ugh, that teacher's so annoying"

For a moment, the boy slightly recognises his voice. He was still stuck on who he was but he kept listening closely.

"Yeah I know right. I already try my hardest to suck up to him but he still includes me in that punishment"

"I know. You even had your parents pay him extra money to not punish you no matter what you do, and he still punishes you. Didn't it also happen just like just a week ago?"

"Yeah, it did. Today was the last straw, so I'm just going to tell my parents to make the board fire him tomorrow."

Then, the boy recognizes the group of boys. It's Richie, the teacher's favourite, and his group of friends!
