Chapter 21: Meeting Henry Lau

A Whole New Life

The bell rung and I sat next a boy but there something about that i feel a strange connection. 

which is in the back of the classroom but then the teacher enters the room. 

Ms. He Tian Xin is 5’2 with long black hair, she’s in her early 20s and she pretty lean.

 

“ Good morning class and welcome to AP Chinese and in here you will have fun learning about the language, history, culture and the music also I’m your teacher Ms. He Tian Xin and I will make this a fun year for everyone .” She said very happily

“ This teacher is awesome .” I said to myself

“ You know talk to yourself, you will look crazy ." He said 

I look at him. He's is 5'11 with honey blonde hair and brown eyes. 

" Who are you ?." I whispered 

" I'm Henry Lau ." He said prideful 

I scoffed 

“ Also towards the end of the first semester will going on a trip to Beijing .” Ms. He Tian Xin said smiling

“ Ok she officially the coolest teacher ever .” I whispered

“ You got that right .” He whispered

We watched a Chinese drama in class, it was pretty laid back class today the drama was called Sounds of the Desert . 

I don’t know how this has to do with class but I was into it like I want to continue watching because it interests me.

Must be nice to have boys swooned over you so quickly but then again that fantasy life for you. 

But then the bell rung and everyone got out their seats so quickly but me I was dazed from the show I was in love with C-dramas now. I got out of my seat quickly to headed to my next class which is AP English.

“ Saphira .” Male and female said but more of them calling my name

I turned around to find Chanyeol, Kris, Sehun and Tao along with Maria, Lisa, Lay finally Athena. 

But the one person I like as a one number best friend is Maria because her personality is lay back.

 Holy ! They haven’t kill each other yet now that’s a surprise !

" Let me guess third period AP English class .” I said

“ Yeah .” Chanyeol said with smiling

“ Ms. Johnson in room 109 .” Athena said

Can this day get any worse.

“ Maria almost blew up Chemistry class .” Athena said

I had to ask myself that question.

“ So what’s the teacher like Ms. Johnson  ?.” I ask

“ She’s hardcore teacher .” Lisa said

“ Why ?.” I ask

“ Because at the end of the book, we’ve to do a 10 page essay on book .” Athena said

Oh my god they like they gonna to die after writing a 10 page essay.

“ What’s the book ?.” I ask Maria

“ Something call The Phantom of the Opera by .” She said

“ By Gaston Leroux .” I interrupted her  

“ Yeah ! How do you that know that ?.” She ask

“ Because I kind of already read book .” I said

“ What !.” Chanyeol said

“ Yeah, I have already the book .” I said

“ You’ve read it once .” Maria said

“ Actually I’ve read more than once .” I said

“ How many times .” Kris ask

“ 30 times I think .” I said unsure

“ You think .” Tao said

“ I don’t know I lost track of how many times I’ve read the book .” I said

“ Well that’s understandable .” Lay said

Why is Lay so understanding and nice to me and my friends

 I walk into the class I get sense of a bad aura and thoughts of suicides through my head like I feel like fainting but at the same I want to them as well I can’t leave them like that. 

" Amor et odium, ira, tristitia, ut ea omnia experiar quotidie, et in omni tempore mihi hoc provocationum, et mittam manum meam operam dabo omina, gr fidueia ." I murmured softly

I said in their hands but even though source is unknown they feeling better and the aura in the class is better its uplifting. 

I sat in the back of the classroom and Chanyeol next to me but me I’m guessing that he’s going to be needing help with this class but since he has been really mean to me I’ll help him. 

The bell rang and the teacher enters the room but she is very young I’m talking late teens and early 20s.

“ Good morning and for the students that are new to this school, welcome AP English during this year we will be reading the classicals and hoping make own stories with each days of our lives .” Ms. Johnson said

This teacher is okay for now but I need time because there’s something off about her and I want to know what is it ?.

“I hope read you The Mysterious Reason known as chapter 3 in the book The Phantom of the Opera ?.” Ms. Johnson

Everyone looks nervous and I’m guessing they didn’t read chapter 3 last night. But then.

“ Ms. Arias where is your book ?.” She asked me

“ I have to wait because I just bought a new one due left another state .” I said

“ Oh, I’m sorry but when is your book coming ?.” She ask

“ Tonight .” I said

“ Well for homework read chapters 1 and 2 when you get home .” She said

“ Well actually I’ve already the book 30 times don’t worry about me falling behind in the book .” I said

“ Ok, may I ask, How much did you for the book .” She ask me

“ four grand .” I said

I hear nothing but gasps

“ Why did you paid you paid four thousand dollars on a book ?.” She ask

“ Cause it’s the very first edition with the hidden chapter inside the book .” I said

“ Oh .” She said

" Yeah so may we get on with lesson please .” I said

“ Yes .” She said

“ Good .” I said

“ Ok, in yesterday chapter Christine Daae met Erik or known as the Phantom and he took her to his home below the opera house and Christine took off his mask .” She said

“ So can anyone tell me what happened in the third chapter ?.” She ask

I guess no one chapter 3 last night huh .

She sighed at class in hope that they be her best class but at last they weren’t her best at first. I raised my hand.

“ Ms. Arias .” She said

“ In the third chapter a body was found by one of young dancer during the party and the body was Joseph Buquet the one that made fun of the Phantom and also claimed that he’d saw the Phantom when he didn’t until his fate arrived by the Phantom .” I said

“ That’s correct .” She said in shocked

“ Thank you .” I said

“ But Ms. Arias we’re refereed to their names instead of calling the main character just call him Erik .” She said emotionally

Why she is emotionally from that but then how could you not be emotionally from this book. But this is different she’s acting as if she's was really there.

“ Yes I’ll keep that in mind .” I said 

“ Thank you .” She said
