Snow Black

45 minutes has passed and Mr Wade’s teaching was somewhat dull to listen to. I looked to my right and saw V has already knocked down. I tried to keep him awake but he would not budge at all. I only wrote some scribbles on my textbook. How should I put it? Math to me is practical. Even it burnout your brain, it kinda helps in brain exercise. I doubt V agrees with me. I just wish we could start on practicing the problems sums.

“Zzzz…Zzz…Zzz…”

Uh oh! V is snoring so loudly. What I am going to do? He will get into trouble! Ergh! Jungkook was right! I thought I could manged this. There goes the snoring again! I picked up my eraser and threw at V.

V: Ugh! Yes! *Stood up*

Mr Wade: Yes, what Taehyung? I haven’t given today’s assignment.

V: Erm… *looks at Snow*

Snow: Ummm… Yes we are looking forward to today’s assignment. Right V?

V: Huh?.... Oh Yes! I am ready to destroy the problem sums. TOGETHER WITH JUNGKOOK TOO!

Jungkook: WHAT? I am involved?

Mr Wade: Well, I thought of letting off today’s assignment since it is difficult to tackle. Nevertheless, V suggested that we all need to at least try on our own. I am going to give this set of problem sums for all you to try and let me know on the next class how it is.

Everyone in the class groan. V sat down and hid his face out of embarrassment. I felt so sorry for V. I am going to keep him out of trouble but then it never goes the way I expected. The school bell rings again.

Mr Wade: Here are the set of assignments. Everyone take one each. I want to see all the steps in your exercise book. Class dismiss!

 Everyone drags their feet to take their worksheets and off they go out of the class. V keeps his head down and almost hit against the wall. I walked together with him and Jungkook for break time.

Jungkook: Thanks a lot V.

V: Hey. I didn’t mean it to happen.

Snow: I am sorry V. It is my fault. I was trying to keep you out of trouble.

V: Nah. It is my fault too. I should have slept early.

Jungkook: Yeah right. Tonight let’s do the assignment together. We have to skip playing video games with J-Hope.

V and Snow: okay…

We met the rest of the boys in the canteen even we are pretty much bumped up. Jin has brought us our lunch boxes and told us to eat up his homemade Gimbap. Jimin brought me a small carton of milk and he got one for himself. We were happily drinking when suddenly Suga ask for some. Namjoon asked V how was class, Jungkook explained instead.

J-Hope: So Snow, what will be your next class?

I looked at my phone for my schedule.

Snow: Next one will be…

The boys stared and waiting quietly for the answer as they hoping to win a lottery.

Snow: English Literature!

Suga: Seems like Namjoon has to take care of you.

I looked up in dismay. Namjoon? He was looking surprised too. This is going to be awkward after what happen yesterday. I know that he didn’t mean it but still it affected the both of us. Break time was over as the bell is started to ring again.

Rap Monster: Alright…*stretching his arms* So it is just you and me then. Let’s go.

I picked up my bag and quietly walked beside him. Gosh! He is so tall. I dare not looked up. I overheard the others talking.

J-Hope: Do you think they are going to be ok?

Jin: Well that’s for the best.

J-Hope: I hope…

Rap Monster

The awkward atmosphere was so strong between the both of us as we were on the way to class. She looks so small from where I was looking. I can’t believe we are going to be in the same class but still the atmosphere was so plain after what happen yesterday. I really screwed up badly. I want to apologise but I don’t know how.

We were greeted by Madam Liana. She reminds me of Queen Latifah with turban on her head. She is funny and very motherly. Not only that she is such a Drama Mama! What I love about her is she always gives us strength to keep going.

Rap Monster: Good day Madam Liana. This is Snow. She will be joining us from now onwards.

Snow: Hello.

Madam Liana: Hello Hello there darling. Welcome! I am so happy to have another student! Come and give me a hug. Don’t be shy. I used to take care of the mayor. He is such a big baby.

Snow and Madam Liana gave each other hug. I could see that Snow’s eyes started to tear. I guess she really misses her mom who is still in Lemonade Flower. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to sit beside her but at least I can look out for her from where I am seated.  

Madam Liana: Class, we have a new student. Please welcome her with a round of applause.

Snow stood up and introduce herself. I somehow felt proud of her. She looked really shy with her sweet smile. I smirked as she gave a glance at me. Well this is not bad as I thought.

Madam Liana: Well then. Everyone take out your books. Today’s lesson we will be discussing on Mr Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Can anyone tell me what it is about?

It’s time to show Snow what I am capable of. I raised my hand to answer the question.

Madam Liana: Go ahead Namjoon.

Rap Monster: It is about a young couple who were forbidden to love each other due to their respective parents. This is because of the hatred between to the two households. So in the end, the couple ended their lives.

Madam Liana: That’s correct Namjoon. What I want is all of you to look deeper and analyse the situation. It is more than just a love and tragic story. Snow, why don’t you give it a try?

Snow: Me? Umm… As for me, I may be wrong. I think it is about lack of communication and ego. Romeo and Juliet’s parents are upholding their ego and they never want to admit themselves. They should investigate about the death of Tybalt and Mercutio before making an assumption.

Rap Monster: In other words, both household should listen to their children and even make up for each other. They should stop being childish because of their ego. Their children love for each other is an excuse to make them get along.

Snow and I made eye contact as if we know what each other are thinking.

Madam Liana: *clap clap clap* I am so proud of my students. That’s why my darling students, COMMUNICATION IS KEY! We all can make mistakes whether they are big or small. Still, we need to make up to each other and listen what we each have to say.

This class lesson is somewhat similar to the situation that me and Snow are facing. I think I have to throw my pride away and let her know. Even though I am a man, I have to apologise to her.

Madam Liana: For today’s assignment, I want everyone to throw away their ego and come on stage. I want you to call out a person and tell him or her what you have been holding back. Starting from Namjoon, Hansol, Risa and Amelia!

My heart starts to beat faster. Oh no! At this time?! Madam Liana sometimes really drive us crazy. What am I going to do?! This is the first time I have never felt so nervous in my life. I stood on stage and called out for Snow.
