Teacher's Day. (2)

Entering the classroom, teacher Jennifer head towards her table. She put the things she's carrying on top of it before finally taking her seat. Looking at her students that already arrived, she greeted them. " Good morning everyone. "

" Good morning teacher Jennifer. " answered her students in unison.

It's been four months since she started teaching these kids and it can be said that their relationships was a lot closer now. Her students now talks to her freely like as if Jennifer was their second mother.

" Mn. How's your weekend, everyone? "

" It's great! "

" It's very awesome, teacher Jennifer! "

" It's the best! "

...

Each student has different answer but the brilliant smile on their faces shows how much they had enjoyed it.

" Good, so stay at your seat while we wait for your other classmates to arrive. Then we will go outside. Is that clear? "

" Go outside? Why are we going outside, teacher Jennifer? "

" Did you even need to asked that? We will play of course. Just like what we did before. " answered one of the students.

" Yehey, we will play again! "

...

Her students once again became lively after hearing that they will go outside. Seeing them like that, Jennifer can only shake her head before saying, " No. We will not go outside to play this time. We will go there to watch. "

"""...."""

" There's a program prepared by the school today and the other students in higher Grades will participate in it too. So we will go there to watch and support them. "

Her words once again sent a wave of confusion to her students.

" Watch them? What will the big brothers and big sisters do, teacher Jennifer? Why do we need to watch them? "

" That's right. Is there any magic there, teacher Jennifer? "

" I want to see someone singing there too. Will there be one? "

" No, I want to see more magic just like Leon. "

...

" Everyone, let's just go and see what is it about later okay? For now, just stay in your seat and wait for your other classmates. " said teacher Jennifer once again trying to calmdown her students.

The children did what she said and stayed silent. But they are still silently discussing with their seatmates. Jennifer didn't see any problem with that so she just let them be.

" Leon, what do you think will happen later in the program teacher Jennifer is talking about? Do you think there will be magic shows there too? "

" Hmm.. I don't think so, Carla. It's very unlikely to have magic there. I guess there's only singing, dancing and games for the whole event. "

" Really?! I want to play games too, Leon. Let's join okay? "

" No. We can't join that one because it's only for higher grades. Besides, even if we can, I won't allow you to join because you are so clumsy. You'll get hurt. "

" Eh? So unfair. And...and.... I am not clumsy! Moo. "

" You are. "

" Am not. "

" Sure, you are not but I still won't allow you to join the games. "

" Mooo. Bad Leon. Baddie Leon. "

" Mn. I'm bad so I won't give you the drawing I made for you anymore. I'll just throw it outside because I am bad. "

" No! No no no. Leon is not bad. Leon is not baddie. So.. so don't throw the drawing okay? You will give it to me later okay? " said Carla in a panicked tone.

Seeing her like that, Leon tried his best to not laugh and said, " Okay then. I will give it to you later. But before that, take out your gift and let's give it to teacher Jennifer now. "

" Ahh! You are right. I almost forgot that. Where is it. Where is it.. " Carla's trying to find the gift on her bag. " Here Leon. "

" Mn. Let's go. "

The two of them then stood up and went in front of their teacher's table.

Seeing her two students in front of her, she asked, " Oh, Leon, Carla, do you need something. "

" Say it, Carla. " Leon nudge Carla's shoulder.

" Eh? Me? Why me? "

" Because you're cute so you do it. "

" Moo. So unfair. Fine, I'll say it. " Carla complained with a pout as she raised her hands that was holding the small box and gave it to their teacher. " Ha...ha... Happy Teacher's Day, teacher Jennifer. This... please accept this. "

Jennifer felt her body trembled a bit hearing that. She can't help but feel touched inside as she didn't expect that one of her students will know about this event because they are still too young.

" This is for me? " she asked and saw both Leon and Carla nodded. " Thank you, Carla. You're so sweet. But your greetings is enough. You shouldn't have prepared a gift like this. "

" No teacher, mommy said I should give it to you so please accept it okay? I don't want to return it to mommy. "

" Carla is right, teacher Jennifer. Please don't reject it. Oh, and this too. This is my gift for you, teacher Jennifer. Happy Teacher's Day. " Leon also handed the white folder to her.

Jennifer received the white folder and opened it. By doing so, tears started to form from the corner of her eyes. She stared at the drawing for awhile before turning her head to Leon. " Thank you, Leon. I like this a lot. "

She then took out her handkerchief to wipe away the tears on the corner of her eyes.

" Yehey! Teacher Jennifer like them, Leon. "

" Mn. You're very welcome, teacher Jennifer. We will go back now. "

" Sure. Thank you again. " said teacher Jennifer in an emotional tone.

Leon then grabbed Carla's hand and pulled her with him back to their chairs.

...

Time slowly passed by.

Their other classmates finally arrived one after another. And once everyone was there, Jennifer brought them all outside. They all went to the school quadrangle to watch the programs.

Similar to Leon's prediction, the events did mostly made out of students that are either singing or dancing. He actually find it quite boring. Well, what can he expect from elementary students' performance right?

But his other classmates seemed to be enjoying this program a lot. Even Carla, she keeps on clapping her small hands from time to time.

" Leon, thirsty. I'm thirsty... I... left my juice inside our classroom. "

" What? Why did you left it there, Carla? "

" But... but teacher Jennifer said to leave all of our things there, Leon. "

" Eh? That's not what she said. Teacher Jennifer told us to bring our snacks and drinks with us. You're carrying a small bag so I thought you're also carrying your food. "

" This bag? * giggles * No Leon, this bag is not for food. Look. " Carla showed Leon what's inside the small bag she's carrying.

" This... why are you carrying all of these Carla? "

" Eh? It's because you gave them to me, Leon so... so I want to carry them with me all the time. "

" That.. * sigh * These are quite heavy you know? Let me carry them for you then. Here's my food. You can eat them as I'm not hungry yet. "

" Really? Are you sure, Leon? "

" It's fine. You can eat them. I'm sure our mother had already prepared our food when we returned home later. "

" Mn. Thank you Leon. " Carla then handed the small bag she's carrying to Leon and received his bag of food.

The program is also reaching it's climax as Leon and Carla conversed like that. And soon, the emcee started to thank all of the participants one by one per grade level.

" Oh, looked here. Our juniors in prep are also here watching us. Don't you think it's unfair for them if they won't participate in this program everyone? " said the emcee after noticing Leon's class watching on the side.

The other students looked at their direction and started to become lively.

" That's right. Let our juniors perform too! "

" Good idea. I'm sure someone among them can sing or dance too. "

" Haha . That will be great. I want to see them perform too. Good job emcee! "

...

" Right? Seems like everyone wants to see our juniors perform. Anyone willing to come up here on stage? Any representative from the prep-class? " said the emcee once again.

Hearing that, the other teachers from the prep-class smiled wryly. They didn't receive any announcement about this so they are not prepared. They can't just let their students to come up on the stage without preparation right?

One of the teachers stepped forward and explained. " I'm sorry but we were not informed that we also need to participate in this program. Our students didn't make any preparation so we will have to pass. "

The emcee seems to understand that too so he said, " Oh, too bad then. I'm sorry everyone but what the teacher said was right. It's seems like we need to let them pass for now. Let's continue wi- . "

" Wait for a moment! "

Someone suddenly shouted among Leon's classmates. Everyone looked at the direction where the voice came from, even Leon and Carla. They then saw that it was Mark and Marlo that shouted just now.

The emcee had an amazed expression on his face as he looked at the two kids direction. " Two juniors, do you want to say something? "

" That's right. We have someone here that can perform. Right Mark? " said Marlo. This kid is really daring. He didn't even feel shy despite all the people staring at him.

But it's different for Mark. He wanted nothing more than to run away from here after receiving the gaze from too many people. Even so, he still tried his best to calm down and replied, " Y.... yes.. We... we have Leon. He... he... he can do magic! "

" Magic? That's amazing. " The emcee turned his head back to crowd again. " Did you hear that, everyone? It seems like we now have a participant now from the prep-class. Let's give them a round of applause! "

The crowd once again became lively after that. Even Leon's classmates are the same as they shouted.

" That's right! Show them the real magic Leon! "

" Mn. I also wanted to see magic! "

" Me too! "

" Me too! "

" Show us magic! "

...

Hearing all of that, Leon want nothing more than to beat the crap out of Marlo and Mark. These two kids really knows how to push him down the cliff!

He's trying his best to be low-key here but then this happened? Leon wanted to say that he didn't want to perform but looking at his classmates expressions, that's unlikely possible. It's not like he cares about though.

The emcee also didn't give him enough time to decline and said, " Who's Leon? Please come up on the stage and show us your magic. Don't be shy because everyone here is your big brothers and sisters. Right everyone? "

" That's right! Don't be shy, junior. We will support you! "

" Yes! Please come up on stage. "

" That's right junior! Show us your magic! "
