Mathematics class is sooo boring. fucking probability. damnit.







Chapter 3.

"Okay class, that's it for today. Have a good rest."

"Thank you, Teacher."

The afternoon lesson has ended. After lunch there's still 3 more hours of lesson. As i walked towards the school canteen, my cellphone suddenly rang. Its her.

"Hello?"
"Gyun-woo.... its me."
"Oh...... what's the matter?"
"Where are you now?"
"Me? At school... you?"
"I have no lessons today, so i'm at home."
"Really?"


She studies at S University. although i might not have the university look, but still, i'm a university student!
She has no classes on wednesday, and i have no classes on thursday.

Today is.... WEDNESDAY?!!!!

As there are no lessons tomorrow, today felt like a weekend.

"Gyun-woo, let's meet up today."
"Alright, see you tonight."
"No, i don't mean tonight, i mean now."
"NOW?!! No, i can't! i have classes later on! till 5 in the evening."
"Really? Then now i'll head for your school."
"YAA!.........."

-_-

Damn, she hung up again, after saying she's coming. I really don't know what to do when she wants to do something, or she sets her mind on doing something. neither do i have the time.

The canteen is forever packed. Beside the counter, a sign hung on the wall, showing the menu for the day.

WEDNESDAY- BEEF SOUP.

BEEF SOUP!!!??!!!

Is it because that someone died, that's why we have to drink beef soup? The school's beef soup stinks. Sometimes there is pork chop rice, but then again, it tastes like the one i've eaten back in the army.

Nevertheless, i have no other choice as there is not much place to eat, and the food here is cheaper, so most of the time i came here to settle my lunch.

"Gyun-woo, i'll help you get the food coupons. you go queue up."
"Okay, got it."

after lunch, it'll be 1 30pm. the class starts at 2, so i guess i'll take a nap in the class.

The May weather is so hot and humid, and after lunch, concentrating on the lesson is nearly impossible. the lecturer in front of the class seemed to be chanting us to sleep.

Its been only 30mins, yet it seemed like 3 hours. i felt my eyes closing and myself dozing away.

Suddenly the door opened with a audible thud.

A female student stood there. All by herself. In front of the class.

If you're late, you should sneak in from the back door.

Everyone stared at her oddly, the girl who came in with a loud bang, while the lesson was going on. she stood there, muttering: "Bloody hell, what school is this? Its so hard just to find a classroom!"

Yes, that's it! THAT'S THE WAY!!!

That girl is... none other than our... than our SAVIOUR!!! *coughs suddenly.

i choked abit and regained my breathing. after making sure its her, i buried my head into my book with lightning speed.

In that instance, i thought that pretending to be asleep was not a bad idea.

With that, time seemed to stop for a few seconds. she entered the room, and the lesson starts again. but, i didn't hear the lecturer speak.

*thud thud thud (sound of footsteps)

I only heard her footsteps, and i hope she didn't see me. but, unfortunately, her footsteps are heading this way.

Awwww.. ohhhh.. i'm dead!!

How can she see me? I didn't saw her looking in my direction.

AHH. i knew itMom had given me a sum of money to get myself some new clothes, but i spent it all on drinks with my friends. hence i have little clothes to wear -_- one shirt can last me a few days or even weeks until people start avoiding me for some reason.

i'm still wearing the shirt that i wore when i met her for the second time.

This damn world, those damn beer. images of my friends laughing and drinking away, using MY MONEY, flashed past my mind. AHHHRGGGGHHHHHHH -_- this damn world is so sad. i made a mental reminder to get myself some new clothes.

She plonked herself down on the seat next to me. -_- ; the new term has just started. there are many repeat students as well as many new students. hence all of us are not very closed to one another, and the lecturer only knows a handful of us.

maybe the lecturer will think that she is a brave, late student.

nevertheless, the lessons contiunes.. here we go.....!

^^ ; she sat down, and the classroom turns into a mini wet-marketplace.

"This's the first time i saw her! wonder what does she major in?"
"Wooo... looks good!"

"We have this kind of girl in our school?!!"

"Hmm now this lesson seems interesting.. hehe...!"

AHHHHH damn...........!

With that the noise slowly grew louder. Suddenly, she gave me a loud smack on my back, while i was pretending to be sleeping.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! DAMN IT....!

I woke up (pretending), and the kid sitting behind me whispered: "Hey man the girl there looks pretty! After lessons let's hang out with her and play!"

"Crazy piece of shit... damn it!!!!! arrghhhhh....!" i thought.

I simply cant predict her next actions. what if she hooked her arm with mine, and prevent me from leaving the class? i'm be the talk of the whole school man! even the teacher will see me in a different light.........

OH NO!

i secretly took a peek at her -_- she seems to realise that she caused some sort of trouble too, and she stared at the board quietly. i quickly scribbed a piece of note to her.

"We'll talk after the lesson."

While no one was looking, i threw it at her direction. she saw it and sliently nodded her head.

"Alright class, let's take a break here then."

"Yeah, alright!!!!!"
Finally, break-time. Phew.........!

The minute the teacher said "Let's take a break", i quickly got up and prepared to dash off. But who knows, the kid behind me grabbed me.

"Hey man, where're you going? Gimme a cigarette."
"Its in my bag."
"Where're you going? Not coming to smoke?"
"i'm looking for the lecturer."
"Huh.....! Teacher? What for?"

i was scared that everyone knew i'm anxious to get out, but this fellow kept bugging me.

i got out of the class, and dashed up the stairs. i was afraid that if we talked outside the class, people from the next class might see us. she also followed me up.

"Dang! how could you just barge into the class?"
"Ah! hahhaahah! i didn't know you're in one!"
"Sure i am! why can't you wait outside? or just sneak in from the back door! how could you............."
"What. The teacher didn't say a thing."
"Arggggh."
"Well, let's get going."
"WHAT? where? the class hasn't ended yet!"
"Your attendance is taken anyway, isn't it?"

of course, its a 3 hour lecture. everyone's attendance has been taken in the morning. but maybe i'm a model student.. heh heh.. (alright stop dreaming!)

"no way! i HAVE to listen to this lecture. sometimes he marked our attendance during class."
"OOOOh.......! Really......... huh..?"

In fact, if its other subjects, i would have walked away.

I'm not really a model student; i do arrive late sometimes. even during class i would sneak out to play billard, or just slack around. i'll return just before the class ends.

But this teacher wouldn't allow us to skip class. if in any case, you missed one lesson, you'll get a D for that. and a F if you're late for 2 times.

Actually i only listen to professional classes... hehehe..!

"Ya! I can't skip this class."
"Why not? Let's go....!!"

"No. No means no. why not you just kill me. come on."
"Forget it then. I know it."

AHHH----!! She actually just let me off like that?! She came such a long way though. i felt i let her down. BUT can't i possibly think for my own future?

No choice. this is it. i have to be cruel.
CRUEL!!!!!

After the break of 10mins, the class resumed. i left her upstairs and went back to the classroom. 3 hours of class, 1 hour down, 2 to go.

Hmm, she didn't enter the room! haha, that's good.

Yeah. why wait on that cold, stony chair for me for 2 hours? when she can wait elsewhere.

Hmm. she might have gone somewhere else. i didn't know what was going on. but i'm worried that she might have stayed, or even gone home. suddenly i didn't feel very good.

"Hey Gyun-woo where you been looking for the teacher?"
"Huh? Ah. no."
"What?"
"Nothing. NOTHING."
"But, Gyun-woo, i meant the girl beside you."
"What?"
"I know what's with her."
"AHHH! did he saw everything?" i thought.

"I thought long and hard, and finally i concluded that she must have stepped into the wrong classroom."
"................"
"its been 2 months since school started, and this's the first time we saw her. right?"
"really? haahhaha.. maybe.."

Damn this fellow got me all startled. ..... and his disappointed expression is written all over his face.

The teacher came in the class, and started to flip through his attendance list. See, i'm not lying! he does do that sometimes during class. i'm lucky not to have skip this lesson man!! woooo.....!
He flipped through the pages, and stopped at one particular one.

"Gyun-woo?"

Everyone who knew me in the class turned around in a particular direction.

Where?

What where!!?!

Of course at me!! .........

The guy behind me, with his disappointed expression changed to surprised, nudged me. before i could speak, he nudged me again and said "Hey, he's calling you."

"Alright, i've got it."
"Teacher, its me."
"You are Gyun-woo.. huh?"

He stared oddly at me.

"Erm. did i did something wrong? Hmm... nothing... what?"

Once again, the class slowly became a market-place with all the students chattering, wondering what i did.

"Its okay. i know you're here. you can leave."
"HUH???"
"i said, you can leave now."
"But.. why?"
"The girl just now, she's your girlfriend right?"

The moment he said out the word GIRLFRIEND, the class immediately turned silent, as if the class had been washed over by a big wave of icy cold water.

The guys stared at me enviously.

hahahaha, its not that bad. in fact i felt a bit proud... hehe..

Hmm. how could he have known? he's only a teacher.......

what did she tell him? this stupid old lecturer could actually let me leave the class. i packed my bag and thought about it.

"Thank you, Teacher."

after that i left the class with everyone looking at me enviously. i'm the first guy to get permission to leave the class, i supposed.

She was waiting outside for me.

"Hey, what did you tell the teacher?"
"Nothing."
"What nothing! He doesn't let anyone off so easily!"
"Wanna know?"
"Of course.. what on earth did you say!"
"i said i was going to have an abortion, and your the father."
"Huh... WHAT!!!!!!!! " *chokes

Normally if anyone said this to me i'll laugh out real loud, and tell them "Knock it off..." before delievering a punch to their face. but.. look who's standing in front of me?

Obviously, she said that. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..! i feel so screwed. my cute, lovely school life is destroyed because of her.
GREAT. SCREWED.

Being with her, i'm really speechless no matter what happens.

OH HEAVENS!!!!

my eyes... they're twitching like mad!

AHHHHHHH... -_- damn! i cant attend the next lesson!! OH WHY!!

after i left, they would have kept bugging the teacher why he let me off. damn! those people!!! of course, the teacher would believe her, and tell the students everything! AHHHHHHHHH. isn't that obvious that i CANNOT attend the next lesson?!

alright. a F. a F for my grade. its not a big deal.

but is that all to it? it'll be all quiet at school, but once i stepped into home.......

*mom's nagging.
"dad's nagging.

My ears and head would burst, i swear.

although we have 3 girls in our course, but i don't think they'll ever talk to me again.
only talking?

NO! to the extent of not coming near me!!! in designing class, if i can't finish my work at home, Ying Mei who made coffee for me and helped me finish my work at the same time would avoid me too!!! i sound like a bastard.

1999 march 22th. OFFICALLY DISCHARGED FROM THE ARMY!

armed with the dream of entering the university of my dream!

its only been 2 months, yet i'm now in this situation.

Am i really unlucky?

i'm such a piece of unlucky guy. damn........... however, i got a B for that subject!! i only took the exam. i supposed the teacher took pity on my situation.

that teacher is really mean with his grading. of 60 students in his class, around 2 got As, about 20plus got Bs, and almost half of them got Fs.

i acutally got a B. from that on, i'm the model of the sudents who got F.

My life in school has just got interesting... hahahaha!
