Chapter 9 - Choosing class leaders

(After Ms. Shelly leaves the classroom. Justin gets up and heads to the front.)

JUSTIN

Ms. Shelly was right. We were ignorant and treated the school like we were on vacation. And forgot that we were actually in school.

TOP

I blame the school for giving us good facilities.

JUHI

Well, it's an elite school. Of course it will give us the best facilities. Who has ever heard of a school with a mall like 2 rivers?

JUWON

What's a 2 rivers?

MADDIE

It's a river that are 2.

JUHI

No it's a shopping mall found in Kenya.

JUWON

Where's Kenya?

LISA

It's a country found in Africa. And on the eastern part.

FABLO

Been there. A fabulous country indeed.

SUKINI

Africa exists. I thought it was some sort of country that existed in movies.

TOP

You should pay attention in geography classes instead of watching brain rot.

JUSTIN

Guys! Pay attention. We need to be serious. We're considered to be the worst class in the whole school. And it's time we redeem ourselves.

TOP

Who the hell put you in charge, pretty boy?

JUSTIN

Well, I was thinking that no one is coming up front. I thought it was a good idea for me to come up in front.

TOP

Sit ya ass down. I'm in charge.

KHLOE

No, you're not.

TOP

Yes, I am. I'm the class president now.

TIFFANY

That's impossible. To be the class president, you have to be an actual representative of the class and also act as a lawyer when your classmate has to appeal to the school supreme court. And you're not cut to be one.

TOP

You long haired baboon.

TIFFANY

What did you just say?

TOP

Nothing.

JUWON

It's not worth it. How about you Justin? Do you want to be the class president? Since you want to be a lawyer. You can use this as a chance to practice your skills in becoming a lawyer when called upon to defend our class mates in the school court.

KHLOE

Juwon's right. You can be the class president, Justin.

(The other students agree.)

JUSTIN

If that's what you want. Then I'll be your class president.

TOP

Why him and not me? Is it because he's handsome? I'm also handsome.

SUKINI

I think it's because you're stupid.

TOP

I'll beat the shit out of you, skinny.

SUKINI

It's Sukini not skinny.

JUWON

Stop fighting. We're buddies.

TOP

Since when were you fluent in English?

ABBY

That's kind of hot.

JUWON

I pay attention to Ms. Shelly's classes.

JUSTIN

That's enough. Now time for the vice president. Who else?

KHLOE

Me. I'll be the vice president.

LISA

We can't have a president's girlfriend to be the vice president. It won't put the class in order. Because you 2 will get distracted by your love life.

KHLOE

What's wrong with me hanging around with my boyfriend?

LISA

There's nothing wrong…

HANNA

If you want a vice president who can assist Justin in keeping class in order. Then it should be me.

KHLOE

Excuse me, Ms. Chaebol. I think I believed that I should be the vice president of Class D.

HANNA

Then do you have the means to make Class D to rise up to become Class A.

KHLOE

I… uh…

HANNA

Then sit down and let me do the talking.

JENNIFER

Spoken like a true queen.

GRACE

I guess we can have Hanna as the vice president and Justin as the class president.

(The other students start to cheer. That's when Mrs. Song enters the class.)

MRS. SONG

What's this noise I'm hearing from outside?! Is this a fish market? Settle down and open your math text books. I hope that everyone did my assignment.\

TOP

What assignment?

MRS. SONG

Did anyone not do my assignment? Then I guess I won't award you guys with 1,000 credits. Remember if you do my assignment even if you get a 0, you receive 1000 credits. Not doing any teacher's assignment will give you a 0. And also make sure you attend all your classes so that you can be awarded 100K next month. Just because you got a kind class teacher, Ms. Shelly doesn't make you to slack off and make noise in class! You're students and you should be studying and doing your assignments! And I'll be on your necks Class D even though I'm the Class teacher of Class A. Do I make myself clear?

STUDENTS

Yes, Mrs. Song.

MRS. SONG

Do I make myself clear, Tiffany?

TIFFANY

Yes, Mom.

MRS. SONG

It's Mrs. Song for you, Tiffany.

JUWON

Wait what! She's your mom!

HAKI

No wonder why you look similar.

KEVIN

Family resemblance.

MRS. SONG

Now open your text books to page 30. We're now heading to Chapter 3.

BEN

I didn't understand chapter 2, Mrs. Song.

MRS. SONG

Not my problem. Anyways, so we'll be starting on decimals. Who can tell me what a decimal is?

MADDIE

Ben, I can help you.

BEN

Really?

MADDIE

Yeah, BODMAS is kind of easy.

MRS. SONG

Maddie! No talking in class!

MADDIE

I am sorry, Tiffany's mom.

(The class bursts in laughter as Mrs. Song sighs in frustration.)
