Chapter 17: What Was That?
"Student Xeren... Student Xeren. Wake up, it's already day time."
Cail opened his eyes when he felt someone poking his shoulder. What he first saw was an unfamiliar face very close to his, and he almost punched that face out of reflex.
Too close!
"Who are you?" Cail was still groggy from his sleep.
The man stood up, he had been crouching beside Cail's table before. He smiled, "Looks like you're sleeping like a baby the entire time. You didn't even hear my introduction?"
"I'm your new teacher, Mr Thade." He looked very easygoing, but the way he was looking at Cail was sharp. "You must be student Cail Xeren? Your seatmate told me that."
Cail looked to his side, the class monitor Mira still looked as cold as ever.
"I'm sorry, Sir, I'll pay attention next time." Cail was too exhausted to do any confrontation. He just wanted the day to end so that he could rest.
Mr Thade knocked Cail's table. "I'll let you off this time. But remember, I don't tolerate sleeping in my class."
Cail nodded.
Mr Thade went back to the lecture, and Cail's head kept bobbing up and down. It was already fortunate that Mr Thade did not comment on Cail's sunglasses for some reason.
