Aku meletakkan kepala ke atas meja. Argh! Sial betul hidup aku hari ni. HyeWon and Miso sama saja perangai. Hati busuk. Aku tengok Seolhun yg duduk sebelah aku. Dia ni tahu baca buku saja. Aku ni time nak exam baru buka buku. Homework aku tak pernah siap pun. " Hi class! " cikgu Fany dah masuk. " Please open your english textbook " arah cikgu Fany. Senyap saja kelas ni. Biasanya mcm pasar ikan. Aku pusing ke belakang, ingin tahu. Hmm.. Aku dah agak. Semuanya terlopong tgk Cikgu Fany. Majoriti kelas aku ni boys so ramai la yg ternganga termasuk la Sulhu yg tak ada perasaan tu. Apa boleh buat? Laki2 ttp laki2. Level kegatalan tetap sama. Tak boleh nk salah kan dia org juga. Cikgu ni yg cantik sgt. Dah la cantik, dtg sekolah pakai mini skirt pula tu. Almaklum la, cikgu muda. Aku tergeleng-geleng. " Do exercise 5 in page 135. After you all done it, we'll discuss. Do it now " arah cikgu Fany. Boys menurut saja mcm kena pukau. Apa punya soalan la ni? Aku faham tapi tak pandai la nk jwb. Seolhun laju saja menjawab soalan2 tu. Argh! Mls aku! Aku meletakkan pen ke atas meja lalu melihat sekeliling. Cikgu Fany jln sekeliling kelas, di tangannya terdapat sbtg marker. Apa main ronda2 ni? Ingat polis trafik ke? Tiba2, marker di tgn cikgu Fany terjatuh. Cikgu Fany pun membongkok utk mengambil marker tersebut. Ada boys yg tunduk utk skodeng, ada boys yg memerah mukanya. Hish! Teruknya! Aku tengok ChangJo menutup mukanya dgn kedua tapak tgn. Telinga dah merah mcm tomato. Ish, benci! Aku berpaling ke depan semula. Nampaknya aku satu-satunya girl yg nampak kejadian tadi. Yalah, aku seorang saja yg tak buat kerja. " Nana, please read the poem " pinta cikgu Fany tiba2. Aku tersentak. Mati la aku. Aku meliarkan mata ke sekeliling. Kenapa bdk2 ni pandang aku? Tgk la kat lain. Malu la. Aku melihat pd textbook, tajuk poem tu ialah Life's Brief Candle. Aku memberanikan diri utk membacanya. " Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow. Crisp in this pretty face from day to day. To the last sibble of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fouls. The way to dusty debt. Out, out, beef candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poo player. That struk and frek his howl open the stage. And then is head no more; it is a tail. Told by an idiot, full of sound and free. Signal frying nothing " aku menghabiskan bacaan dgn sgt nervous. Semua org ketawa termasuk la NamJoo. Apa? Kelakar sgt ke? Aku ada slh baca ke? ( sila search poem tu klu nk tau) Aku mengeluh.Cikgu Fany pun ketawakan aku. Aku berpaling utk melihat ChangJo. Dia tak ketawa pun sbb aku tau dia pun tak fhm juga. " Kau dah jahanamkan karya shakespeare " komen Minhyun. Wah, dah pandai bersuara nampak? Tak guna betul. " Enough, guys. Before we proceed, let me introduce Shakespeare first " kata cikgu Fany. Semua berhenti ketawa. " William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in the small market town of Stratford-upon-Avon. He was a playwright and a poet " terang Cikgu Fany. Bdk kelas aku fokus saja. Fokus ada makna! " During his lifetime, Shakespeare wrote at least 37 plays, among them Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Midsummer's Night Dream, Romeo and Juliet and Othello. He wrote his plays to suit the kind of audience that would be watching them. Yet his work can be enjoyed today as they were by the people who first saw them in his time " Ohh! Aku fhm tapi aku takkan ingat punya. Buat apa explain benda ni, bkn masuk exam pun. Menyerabutkan otak aku saja. Dah la aku ni bengap english. " Shakespeare is considered the greatest dramatis the world has ever known and the finest poet who has written in the English language. His plays and his poems have been translated into many languages and reprinted countless times. He died in 1616 " Fuh, nasib baik dah habis. Nak bernanah telinga aku dgr org speaking. " ChangJo! " panggil cikgu Fany. ChangJo tersengih lalu berdiri. Aku tau dlm hati dia mesti berbunga-bunga. ' Oh, bertuahnya aku '. Mesti tu yg dia tgh fikir. " What are the plays that shakespeare wrote? " tanya Cikgu Fany. ChangJo menggaru kepala. " M-macbath.. " dia tergagap-gagap. " Macbeth " cikgu Fany membetulkan. " Macbeth, Julius Caeser, Midsummer's Night Dream, Romeo and Juliet and Oh telur " jwb ChangJo dlm satu nafas. Apa? Oh telur? Semua org tergelak. ChangJo pun turut tergelak atas kesilapannya. " Othello " cikgu Fany membetulkan sebutan ChangJo lagi. Masa aku baca poem tadi tak ada pun nk tolong. Ini tdk adil! Aku nk report kat jabatan kemanusiaan. Aku tahu la ChangJo tu handsome tapi tak pyh la pilih kasih.
