(I finally wrote more. I'm sorry I didn't have time this week, I was soooo busy)
The next day, Wednesday, I had to return to school. But I didn’t want to cross the gates of that horrible place. I had to find the courage and the strength to face my actions. When I arrived in front of the class, no one said anything. It was very silent until the big fat Dylan started pointing me with his finger, which was really rude, and laughed like a simple pig. I looked at him like nothing in the world could make me feel so sorry. I had pity for him. I was wondering what would be his life later...
Our English teacher asked us to come in. We did. We stood up until she told us we could sit down. I looked around, everyone was ready to sleep, eat, chat, and go to the toilets. Crazy wasn’t it? The class started, our teacher asked the same question she asked on Monday and again, pupils in the class couldn’t answer, it was so easy, it was written under their eyes in their book. I answered the question, and that Dylan boy, yes, him, again, turned around to speak to my Canadian friend Roxanne, but we used to call her Rory, if she had understood a word of what I said. And THAT was another thing that made me crack. I stood up, and said:
“Okay, it’s written down there, you’re looking at it, it’s in your book, and you don’t understand anything? You have to be kidding me!! Nobody here, nobody works, it’s incredible, we’re just doing the class for two or three people who actually want to learn English. The others could leave, it wouldn’t matter, they would have the same mark at their test, and I’m talking about the good ones, and the bad ones. You’re just here physically but everyone is somewhere else!! And if you dare deny it, then you are really insincere.”
I was trembling, my heart was beating so fast, I wanted to scream, to show my anger, my rage… The teacher nodded.
“I think your mate is right. She explained it very well. That’s true, we’re doing class for only two or three persons in this class, which is a shame.”
We had a long talk about it, a talk in which only the teacher and I spoke. But then Mrs Let-the students-do-what-they-want declared we had to stop debating because we were losing time. So she asked again, the same question, she had just asked me. No one, NO ONE could answer. I whispered, but I tried to make everyone hear it:
“In your face…”
One girl replied: “You have to calm down!”
“Yes, you must be out of your mind!!” said another one.
“Well then, call me crazy. I might be mad, but I happen to be right which isn’t logic at all.”
The bell rang, everyone went out of class. I was walking very fast, I was so furious, and at the same time so glad I had done this. I looked at the sky, and I smiled. It was just the beginning. Thank you Leonardo …
