Chapter 31: Sleeping is easier to understand
"Ahhh, well... teacher, it’s like this. I kind of forgot which group I belong to. Can I ask what group I was assigned to?" he said, shyness written all over his face as he braced himself for a possible scolding.
But what he got wasn’t what he expected.
"Huh? You don’t know what group you belong to? Wait, let me check," she replied, looking genuinely confused.
The fact that one of her well-known and usually responsible students didn’t know his group caught her off guard, especially since the assignments had been given a full week ago.
But before Mrs. Baldoza could check her notes, a girl’s voice called out from across the room, causing her to pause and turn around.
"Teacher, Jeff is from our group," the girl said.
Mrs. Baldoza raised an eyebrow, "Then why didn’t you call him into your group? Look, he’s already here asking me where he belongs," she replied with a hint of questioning in her tone.
The girl, who had long hair, slightly puffed cheeks, and big round eyes that gave her a cute and charming presence, was momentarily stunned by the question.
"Teacher, I didn’t know. I thought Jeff already knew what group he belonged to. Also, he didn’t ask anyone, so I had no idea," she replied, trying to clarify herself.
"I see. Well then, Jeff you’re part of Group 2. Go ahead and study your part for a while, since you’ll be up next after this," Mrs. Baldoza said with a light chuckle.
Jeff nodded quickly and made his way toward his group.
