Serving The Teacher

By: AWC

The Principal, Mr. Lloyd Griffin walked in the class as all the students sat quiet like the logs. Mr. Lloyd had heard the noise at the other corner of the corridor coming from this class room as he walked to it but could not resist smiling for himself to imagine that at least the students had some respect for him and there were no aero planes flying and there were no shouts of “Fuck You”, “You mother fucker” or something equal to that effect.

“Listen up kids”; he addressed the class. I am very happy to tell you all that the school had hired a new music teacher. I am sorry that we had to let go the very good teacher Ms. Nelson but Ms. Nelson had excused to continue her services with this school because she was shifting out of the country. From Monday onward, Mr. Edward White will be taking the music class and I am pleased to announce that he will be equally good and talented to teach and make you learn to play different musical instruments.

There was a kind of combined sigh heard from the class when they heard the news of their music teacher leaving but Thomas Wang was glad deep in his heart that she left. Somehow Thomas did not like her at all and he did not care what was happening to her, long as she did not come to the school as a teacher.

Come next Monday, Thomas was a bit late for his first class. As he entered the class room, he was shocked to see a big burly man was sitting in front of the class. He was no ordinary man. He was tall, handsome, had sharp and distinctive features that looked beautiful and almost perfect. Thomas immediately noticed the name tag ‘Mr. White’. He could not refrain from smiling to see a big black man displaying his name as ‘Mr. White’. He stood up from his seat as Thomas entered the class and greeted him while reminding him that he would like to see all students on their seats at least 5 minutes before the class was to start and no one late shall be very much appreciated. From that point on Mr. White was the nicest and easy going teacher. The school year went fast. Thomas had thought that he would never be a close and a very good student in the eyes of Mr. White. On the contrary, he was the best student of the class and Mr. White had become the senior class advisor as well helping all the class and especially Tom on many occasions.

Finally came the time for the class trip of the senior year class and everybody agreed with Mr. White to go up in the hills for the 3 day weekend trip. Now the search started for the facility that would have enough cabins for the students, who had consented to go with the class and everybody knew they will be a pair in each log cabin up in the hills.
