Chapter one hundred twenty-one: "Genius"

We arrived at school late since the wandering dog that Daisy warned me about chased after me and we have to make a detour to avoid it

It felt like a fucking workout trying not to get bitten by a huge dog who runs like a cheetah

Aiden was laughing at me as we found our seats "At this point, if you keep running into that dog you will be unrecognizable from how much you've run"

The idea of having a toned body sounds nice but I almost fainted from just running, Max bought me bottled water from the cafeteria and threw it to me. Thanks to my catching skills that I honed through my years living under the same roof as my sisters, I caught it just in time before the teacher entered the room

It turns out that every Thursday the school would have what they call "Language week" where every student would have to pick a language class to learn a specific language like if you choose to learn Chinese you would have to go to the classroom at the east side of the school

That is the most useless day for me, not gonna lie

As a child that grew up in a multilingual household, it's common for us to use different types of language to ask someone a favor or cursing someone to death

The funny part about all this is that the available language classes they have are some languages I have already know like the back of my hand, Daisy and Aiden looked at me when it was time for all of us to go to our language classes

"Which classes are you gonna go Mia?" Daisy asked me with curiosity sparkling in her eyes, classes are gonna be boring that's for sure

I shrugged at her "I dunno, I'm not interested but it's a plus point for my grade so I have to choose a class"

Aiden puts on a thinking face "How about you try them all? I mean for the whole day it will be language classes so why not try it all?"

I put my hand on his shoulder and looked at him straight in the eyes "Aiden, the classes are for students to learn a different language. Can't you see the problem here?"

"I don't think it's a problem since you are a huge step ahead of everyone including us in the school" he answered

Aiden puts his arm around me "Since I'm all for the wow faces that everybody is gonna make when they find out about your skills, I might as well follow you" he gave me a cheeky smile

"I'm with Aiden on that one, we could start in Chinese class with Mira and Max" Daisy suggested and we agreed to follow her to the classroom

"Over here!" Mira raised her hand, the empty chairs were the right amount for all of us to sit together in a group. We waited for 30 minutes before the Chinese teacher arrived

He was a bald old man and his back is a bit slouched, when he walks into the classroom it was slow "好日子学生" (Good day student) he smiled at all of us when he finally reached the teacher's table

Everybody stood up and simultaneously say "老师好" (Hello teacher)

Me and Aiden just watched them from our seats because we didn't know this was supposedly a way of greeting the teacher and because we were seated and everybody was standing up it caught the eyes of the old man

"Are you two new here?" He puts on the glasses to see us more clearly

I nodded "Yes sir, we just recently transferred here"

He gave us a knowing nod before he started the lesson, the old man started writing Chinese characters on the board and everybody was jotting it down in their notebook being super focused
