Chapter 5

Returning to school today, everything was fine, no one mentioned anything about the breast.

This topic is no longer fresh, and became a thing of the past.

But the victim will always remember. This will leave a permanent scar in her heart.

I didn’t talk to JianBing. He felt guilty too, and didn’t dare to look at me in the face.

It’s not that I am petty. He hurted me when I was at my lowest point, good friends should never be like that.

It is the chinese lesson now, everybody's heart is jumping out.

The boy cla.s.smates were abnormally weird, seating on the chair with a face as white as ash, a prisoner awaiting a trial.

Some girl’s palm starts sweating; some even started s.h.i.+vering;some people were mumbling sentences, hoping that the Chinese teacher have stuff to do and cannot come to cla.s.s.

“Deng, Deng, Deng……” Clear footsteps could be heard coming from outside. Haish…...can’t run away from troubles.

The moment Miss Chou stepped into the cla.s.sroom, the hairs all over our body stood up.

“Sta…...Stand!” The cla.s.s monitor’s voice also was shaking.

We stood up, feeling that our legs turned jelly.

“Good afternoon teacher!” We greeted the teacher together.

Actually, from the look of our expressions and actions, it’s more like us saying: “Long live the Queen!”

“Sit! What’s the date today?”

Once everyone heard this sentence, they really wanted to beg forgiveness on their knees.

“It’s the second……” The cla.s.s monitor replied with cracking voice.

“Very good, two plus thirty one is thirty three”

G.o.d! Help us!

“Who still owes me from last time?”

“Me……” JiaHua stood up.

“Me…….” GuoXiang also stood up scaredly.

“Let’s start!” Ms Chou revealed an uncanning smile. She makes this expression habitually. But she dosen’t know, that this kind of expression make people feel extremely uncomfortable, like a vampiric witch.

JiaHua and GuoXiang walked to the front of the cla.s.sroom, and started doing pushups.

“1, 2, 3, 4…... GuoXiang, hands straight, lift your body high!”Ms Chou hugged her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with her hand, staring at those two boys, having hints of laughter on her mouth edge, seemingly enjoying to see people suffer.

JiaHua and GuoXiang actually isn’t punished for doing something wrong, they only answered a few a few chinese questions wrongly, and they have to be punished by the teacher.

Ms Chou loves to physically punish students. For every wrong answer, the boys would hae to do push up’s, and the girls will have to do squats while pulling their ears, and the target number would beset by the date. For example if that day is the 22nd, then there will me 22 sets of punishment.  (22 push ups e.t.c)

At the start, we were looking forward to the first to the tenth of the month, thinking that we can be punished lesser. But we were too naive, thinking that we could gauge the heart of a vile character with a gentleman’s att.i.tude.. She would actually add the date of this week’s to last month’s 31, 1 + 31, total of 32 repet.i.tions, following this rule, till the eleventh of the month. Counting it up, the eleventh to twentieth would be a better day to live.

“28, 29, 30……” JianHua and GuoXiang finished doing their push ups, huffing and puffing, stumbling back to their seats.

Both of their results are the worst in the cla.s.s, every single lesson, they would at least answer two to three questions incorrectly, but it is impossible for them to do push ups in cla.s.s everyday, so they could ‘debt’ the push ups. Before clearing their own debt, new one’s come in. What they did today, is a debt from a very long time ago.

The teacher held a stack of papers, then distributed it down.

“I taught these questions before, let's discuss about it.”  She didn’t even give us time to prepare.

OUr emotions are like going up to the ring to fight a death match, the winner is the king, the losers, take care of themselves..

“From the left side first column, the first student will answer the first question, take turns down the line.”

“Haish……” The student on the right sighed, everyone wants to be the one who starts, because the first part of the worksheets is much more easier, the chances of getting it wrong would be lower.

The first student on the left side pa.s.sed with luck, he sat down, exhaling deeply, as though just escaping from death’s door. The second of the left side was YuJuan stood up, and read the second question: “The teacher listed a few exemple to us……”  (Wrong p.r.o.nunciation of example.)

“Stop!” Ms Chou suddenly interrupted.

“You are already Secondary two! And you can’t even p.r.o.nounce example! Stand, do your squats later. Next, answer this question!”

Next was Annie, Ms Chou’s favourite student, she pa.s.sed with ease.

The next few student’s aren’t so lucky, either answering wrongly or reading it wrongly.

“Alright, the first part is done. Those students who answered have to be punished. Today……. 33 repet.i.tions.”

Ten plus students did squats and pushups, the view was “spectacular”.

WeiMing didn’t do squats like the other girls, she went down to the floor and started doing pushups.

Ms Chou said that if the girls chose to do pushups, the punishment can be halved. WeiMing is an athlete, doing pushups is nothing to her. She stood ups first and wasn’t even out of breath. Compared to those male students that were moaning and groaning after doing just a few pushups, she seemed to have more verve.

After a while, everyone stood up while groaning, I noticed a sinister smile on Ms Chou’s face.

Everybody is afraid of her, but doesn't respect her at all. Students gave her a lot of nicknames behind her back. This is not strange, how you treat people, would be the same as how people will treat you. Maybe she came from a good motive, she wants us to be mindful of our weakness. But, what we need is encouragement, what she do would backfire and bring about opposite effects. Many students that originally had poor chinese results, grew a hate feeling towards chinese because of Ms Chou’s teaching method. Above half of the students in the cla.s.s have already decided, if they meet the same chinese teacher when the get promoted to secondary three, they will give up on studying chinese.

“Let's discuss the second part, now the students in the middle will answer now.” Ms Chou’s words disrupted my train of thoughts.

And my seat is on the right side, just after the middle portion.
