Tuesday has arrived again. The day James had to face off again with XI IPA students.
As usual, his steps came to a halt in front of the classroom door. There is always tension before entering this class. Either because he began to be affected by the words of the Guardian Class, or because the events of the mop bucket still left an awkward feeling for him.
Back to those thoughts he tried to ignore. He just needs to focus on teaching. After establishing his heart, he opened the classroom door. But this time it was not accompanied by his legs.
Class door open. The atmosphere of the classroom that was a bit rowdy became silent for a moment. All the students eyes were headed towards him.
Safe. No buckets have fallen. Nothing happened exactly.
James, who was silent at the door, felt ashamed of himself. He also put his feet up.
But his leg was caught in something that made him almost fall. Fortunately the reflexes were good enough that the fateful event did not occur. Immediately both of his legs stabilized on the floor.
Automatically his head immediately looked to find the cause of his leg stuck. It turned out that on the door stretched a thin rope at ankle height with an inconspicuous color.
James furiously pulled the rope so that the bond on the door was broken. Then he walked to the front of the class while carrying the rope in his hand.
"This time what is the reason? Has anyone forgotten to move the rope ?" ask her with a quip.
A student raised his hand. His face was made clear which seemed to be his pretence.
"I, Sir. Not forgetting to move. I forgot to decide. Our group ran a physics experiment on rigid-body equilibrium, sir. So we laid a lot of ropes. Uh .. apparently there's one left disconnected. Sorry, sir ...."
James only sighed hearing such an explanation. Then he looked at the class plan to find the name of the student who spoke just now.
"your name ... Rebecca?" ask James to make sure.
"Yes, sir, " replied the student firmly.
"Whose group are you? " It appears that 3 other students raised their hands.
"Hm ... Priscillia, Sharon and ... The cecilia? Right?" James asked while adjusting the class plan to the position of the student who raised his hand.
"Right, sir, "the three answered.
The group sat in the back row with a student named Priscillia as the center. Rebecca was to her left, Sharon was behind her, and Cecilia was to her right. And the one sitting in front of Priscillia, was none other than the student who left the mop bucket that time. By accident?
" Yes already. Put your hands down. We're going into the material. " James began his lesson.
The four students lowered their hands while looking at each other and exchanged smiles. James knew that.
Patience ... It's not finished here, kids. I'll confirm your answer with Mr. Arif later. Be careful if you are proven to be lying ! james said in his heart.

"Please, Sir. Wanna ask what? " The Physics Teacher asked.
"Was the course you were in class XI IPA conducting a physics experiment? "
"Oh ... More precisely I gave the task of children to divide groups and conduct physics experiments according to the materials that have been studied. It is up to them to choose what experiment. Like a practical assignment, " explained Mr. Arif.
"Is there really any material about rigid-body equilibrium in class XI of IPA? "
"Yes. That material does exist. What's the matter? "
"There was a group of children who raised that theme for physics experiments. The theme was a conversation in the BK class. " Change James explained.
"Which group raises this theme? "
" The Rebecca Group, Priscillia, Sharon, and Cecilia. "
The glasses old man smiled. "Yes .. yes ... The four of them are already famous. Everywhere is always together, including if there is a group task. They are basically good, smart and critical children. Talented kids who don't just derail their parents' names. "
"Who are their parents, sir? "
"Loe.. I think Mr. James knows. Their parents are the big businessmen in this town, sir. Like the S corporation that's engaged in real estate, it's Rebecca's parents. Company I's moving in food, it's Cecilia's parents." Next Mr. Arif still mentions a number of names of famous companies that of course James had heard his name, although he did not know who the owner.
"Priscilla. She's the daughter of the head of the school's foundation, sir. Usually every new teacher is told. Is it possible that the homeroom teacher forgot to tell you at the introduction? "
"He just told me the daughter of the chairman of the foundation is in his class, sir. But don't tell me which one it is" James replied with a wry smile.
"Hm.. Maybe he doesn't want any difference in treatment, sir. We can't discriminate students based on their parents' backgrounds? " said Mr. Arif wise.
"That's fine, sir. My principle is also. Thanks for the time, sir. Sorry to take a break, Father. " James ended the conversation.
"Oh ... Doesn't matter. I'm glad we could talk like this. If there is any need, do not hesitate to ask me, "said Mr. Arif friendly.
James nodded in response, then resigned. He returned to his seat in the teacher's room. After sitting down, his brain began to spin rapidly assembling the information.
Twice the unpleasant events that happened to him occurred in the daughter class of the chairman of the foundation. The attitude of the picket officer student who seemed intimidated with something behind him, and it turned out that was where the Princess sat. Rebecca's contrived attitude when admitting her deeds in which Rebecca was a member of the Princess's group.
If concluded quickly, all the data seemed to lead to the delinquency of a group of influential children, who took advantage of their parents' status to act arbitrarily at school. Usually, that is what happens often and that is often told in the movies.
But that conclusion is contrary to the impression that Mr. Arif conveyed about them. So, is it all a coincidence? Does he mostly watch movies so that his brain is affected by the storyline like that?
All righty! Let's think positive! Maybe it was all a coincidence. Don't judge people that easily with just 1-2 events. James tried to believe the words of Mr. Arif who said the four students were good children.
