Anyhow, when a cloudless morning rolled in, Eva was already out of the doors, all fresh and feeling light. She wasn’t grumbling or complaining today. For some reason, she had woken up at the right side of the bed that day. With a white top with lace border and the end and baby blue jeans shorts and white converse shoes, Eva looked like a bubbling teenager as she walked down the streets to the local school that taught by a teacher named Sandine, a weird name to have, in Eva’s opinion, as people could easily mispronounce it as Sardine just for giggles.
The kids were already going in when Eva arrived. She noticed a short haired kind looking woman standing near the gates, greeting each children and their parents. Eva stood to the side for a moment as she talked one of the mothers about their son not being attentive in class, something about having to teach them from home as well. When they left, Sardi…no, Sandine finally turned to look at Eva who was already smiling. Eva wasn’t so bitter as to not smile genuinely now and then. It’s when people start irritating her that she puts on her masks. This woman didn’t seem like she was going to cause any problem for her.
“Oh, hello,” she started, pushing her thick rimmed glasses up her nose. For a moment, she thought Sandine was talking to her as if she was talking to a child as well but brushed the thought off once she started explaining what Eva was supposed to do that day. “I would like you to attend my classes and take care of the kids falling asleep today,” she continued as they started to walk inside the school. “Students who can’t concentrate in class have always been my number one problem. These days, I figure that having someone to stop the kids from dozing off would be much easier. They will most likely listen to you if you talk to them kindly. Otherwise, some might start to cry. Do anything you can to make them listen to my class while not bothering me at the same time. Would that be ok with you?” she asked as they went into the staff room. Eva nodded. “Of course, I don’t have much experience with kids before but I believe I can be interesting enough to stop them from falling asleep in your class, Sandine san,” Eva said with a confident smile. But, would it really be that easy?
