Restore Your Smile

Accident or Intentionality?

Three days later, he taught at a new school. All classes he entered. Starting today, no more homeroom teachers are accompanying him. He had to face his students alone.

Actually, he wasn't too worried about that. When he replaced Bu Yeni at the previous High School, he also taught himself. He has also prepared material that will be distributed to students at every level well.

There were only a few things that somewhat disturbed his thinking. First, he realized that the male teacher in this school only numbered 3 people, including himself. The other male teacher was Mr. Santo, a sports teacher. The other is Mr. Arif, the Physics teacher. But this he can still ignore, considering this SMU is a special SMU princess. Maybe male teachers are more comfortable working in public High School, he thought.

The second oddity he only realized when preparing the material. Semester 1 is almost over. The time it takes for a teacher to end his work. But why did the previous BK teacher stop at a time like this?

The previous BK teacher was named Rina. This he knew from the RPL sheet given to him. His name is listed at the bottom of the signature column.

According to the information from some teachers, Ms. Rina is a young female teacher. He suddenly resigned without knowing the exact reason. Though his working age at this place is only about 3 months.

Lastly, the thing that makes James a bit tense is the presence of the daughter of the chairman of the foundation who became a student here. Just knowing that wouldn't make James tense. He was cool enough not to think about it. To him, all students are the same. It will not distinguish them from their background status.

The problem is, the first time he will enter the class XI IPA, the homeroom teacher has given an alarm to warn him. He was asked to be careful and more patient.

At that time nothing happened. Everything was going as well as in the other classes. But he was sure this warning he could not simply ignore.

Previously, he taught himself in 3 different classes, in the third to fifth lessons. The lesson went pretty well.

But he realized there was a different atmosphere when compared to when he first entered the three classes together with their respective homeroom. This time he again felt the same stares, whispers, and smiles as when he first came to this place to be interviewed. But he tried not to care.

And now, in the last face-to-face lesson he had to give today, again he stood in front of the door of class XI IPA, the class where the Princess Chairman of the Foundation was located. But this time for the first time he had to enter this class alone.

Easy, James.. Calm.. The previous three classes had already been successfully faced alone. This class will be like that too. So then.. Calm.. You can definitely !! he said he encouraged himself.

James took his breath. After he calmed down, he steadily opened the door of that class and...

Blaass...!!!!

Apparently he accidentally kicked a bucket filled with water, when he stepped foot into the classroom. The bucket was now spilled, the water splattered on the floor, and part of the trousers and shoes were wet.

No one answered the question.

After he stood in front of the teacher's desk, James asked again, "Who's the picket today? "

Some of the schoolgirls hesitantly raised her hands, while looking at her classmates.

"Who's in charge of mopping the floor? "

Some people lowered their hands, until only 1 student who still raised his hand with his face down somewhat frightened.

"Ma.. Sorry, Mister... Se.. Looks like I forgot to move the bucket. La.. Next time, I will pay more attention to it" said the student stammering, occasionally glancing towards her back.

"Yes already then. Now please call the janitor to clean up this puddle, let no one slip. "

"Baa.. Okay, sir" replied the student and immediately rushed out of class.

James then returned to teaching according to the material he had prepared. He doesn't want to think too far. But he knew there was something strange about the attitude and behavior of the student who claimed to be a picket officer mopping parts. Not to mention the smiles of some of the schoolgirls sitting in the back row.

In the end, such thoughts he tried to get rid of. It is not good to conclude things quickly based on prejudice. Just go slowly and get to know the environment better. Just be grateful if this day can pass without any meaningful problems, he thought.
