Chatterbox
There was an old teacher in the Academic Affairs Office. When he saw Leon, he took the initiative to ask, “Hello, are you the one who came to register yesterday? Leon or Frank? ”
Leonn reported his name.
The teacher flipped through the roster and made a record, then said with a smile, “Leon, please take a seat. Teacher Kevin has gone to the warehouse to collect your school uniforms.”
Leon glanced at the girl and chose to sit on the other sofa.
It didn’t take long for Kevin to come in with their school uniforms. He divided their belongings and let Leon and the girl sign.
Then, he said with a serious face, “Leon, Aileen, you’re both in Class 10 of the second grade. This is your school rules, timetable, and school map. Get familiar with it as soon as possible and don’t be late for class. Otherwise, you’ll get punished if I catch you!”
These words scared Aireen. “Teacher, that won’t happen. I’ll try to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible!”
Tantorn Public School would open up 30 places every year for students from middle and lower-class families who were extremely outstanding in their studies. Aileen’s family background was very ordinary and could not afford the high tuition fees at all. She had obtained the quota of a prominent school by studying hard.
After Kevin gave his instructions, he let the two of them familiarize themselves with the environment.
The first class was mathematics, which Leon had already learned in advance. Although he had to work at night and catch up on sleep in class during the day, he didn’t miss a single key point. He also had time to read the books of the higher grades.
Therefore, although the teaching materials at Tantorn Public School were much harder to than the previous schools, Leon had already dabbled in the knowledge within and it was not challenging for him to adapt to it.
Halfway through the class, a fat boy with brown and red afro hair knocked on the classroom door.
The boy with the afro carried his school bag on one shoulder and chewed gum. “Hello, teacher. I’m Frank, who came to report on my first day.”
John went in a bad mood when he was interrupted. He looked at Frank impatiently and said, “Find an empty seat and sit down!
Frank didn’t care. He saw that there was only a black-haired boy who was reading in the last row. He was very handsome. As a person who was obsessed with looks, he walked over without hesitation and sat down next to him.
“Hiss.” Frank tried to attract the boy’s attention by making a soft sound with his mouth, but the boy continued to read his book expressionlessly.
Frank thought that the other party did not hear him, so he leaned his body slightly towards him and continued in a low voice, “Brother, you like sitting in the back too? Then we are a fellow Daoist! I’m Frank, what’s your name?”
Leon raised his eyes and glanced at John, who had already caught sight of Frank. He did not speak.
Frank followed Leon’s line of sight and found John staring at him with narrowed eyes. He immediately sat up straight, took out a book from his bag, and pretended to read it.
John was far away, and he couldn’t see clearly due to his old age, so he didn’t notice that Frank was holding the wrong book. He turned around and continued writing the formula.
When class finally ended, Frank moved his stool to Leon’s side. “Have you been going to school here all this time? I just transferred here and I’m not familiar with it. I don’t know what the food in the cafeteria is like. If it’s not good, I’ll have to look for a restaurant nearby.”
Seeing that Frank would continue if he didn’t answer, Leon immediately interrupted him, “I’m new here.”
Frank suddenly realized. “Oh! I heard that there were two people who transferred to another school like me yesterday. You’re Leon, right? The other girl is Aileen. I don’t know where she’s sitting, and haven’t greeted her yet!”
When Aileen, who was sitting in front of Leon, heard this, she hesitated for a moment and turned her head. “She held her glasses with her hand and looked a little cautious. Hello, I’m Aileen.”
Aileen’s world was only about studying, and she was not good with interpersonal relationships. However, before school started, her parents had specifically told her to learn to interact more with her classmates. If she was not sociable, she would be easily bullied, just like in her previous school.
So after seeing Frank’s enthusiasm, Aileen mustered up the courage to greet him.
“Aiya, what a coincidence! The three of us are sitting together!” Frank said happily, clapping his hands together.
Frank was a chatterbox and could always find a lot of topics to talk about. Alan was Leon’s only friend, and he felt that the amount of talk he and Alan talked about in a week was just as much as the amount of talk Frank spoke in a day.
