chapter 2

take my heart
take my soul

***

we went into the math room and waited for the class to start...

I sat at the last desk with Nao, we like to sit there.
It was 5 minutes before the bell rang.

Suddenly, I saw a tall, handsome young man in a black suit, with black curly hair, with handsome and unyielding features walk into the classroom. I opened my mouth slightly.
Naomi covered my mouth by touching my chin with her hand.

- Edison, hang in there.
/ she says quietly, smirking.

There were whispers and words of admiration in the classroom.

- I'm your new math teacher, my name is Finn Wolfhard.
/ said the guy, noisily placing some kind of stack on his teacher's desk.

- wow...
/ said "quietly" by some girl in our class. (she tried to say it quietly, but I think she failed.)

- Now, let's get acquainted!
/ said Finn, leaning back in his chair.

- oh, I'd love to...
/ said some upstart in the class

I just clucked.

- Shh, Edison.
/ whispers to Nao.

- she annoys me.
/ I say quietly to her.

- You're attracting attention.

- I don't care at all.
/ I say

- Last desk, am I disturbing you?
/ said our new teacher

- they're not even here, they should go out the door, let them talk in private.
/ said the top of the class

- shut up, Irene!
/ I couldn't stand it

- So your name is Irene..
/ said the teacher

- I'm going to have to ask you to be a little quieter and more patient, Irene.
/ he continued /

- all right
/ she said loudly, smiling.

- ah... what's your name? the girl from the last desk.
/ he pointed at me
- tell me about yourself.

Edison's thoughts: what? But why me?

I stood up and started talking.

- my name is Edison. i'm a dancer. i'm a humanities major. i'm afraid i'm not gonna connect with your class. i think that's enough.

- okay...
/ the boy smiled.

The bell rang.

I put gum in my mouth and offered it to Nao, but she said no. She said it's better not to chew anything in class. I don't give a shit. I don't think he'll notice. I'm in the last desk.) After hearing rumors about the handsome new teacher, the upstart sat in the first desk, which is not surprising.

- Let's open our textbooks to page 274 and do exercise 17.
/ I'm going to call you to the blackboard now, get ready.
/ he said /

- me, me! can i?!
/ Irene yells at the whole class. (remember, the upstart's name is Irene. Boohoo, her name makes me sick.)

- calm down, miss.
/ says the teacher

I burst my gum loudly. oops, I think everyone heard that, including the teacher. but I don't care, I keep chewing.

- Edison, come to the board.
/ said Mr. Wolfhard, smiling.

A's thoughts: of course he called me in, I told him I'm not good at math.
