Debbie was mortified, frozen to the spot. Feeling embarrassed, she couldn’t believe what had happened. It wasn’t the first time she had been punished by a teacher. In truth, nine out of ten teachers would not dare to punish her even if she had done something wrong in class.
And if the remaining one did dare to ask her to stand on the platform, she would just turn a deaf ear to it.
Several minutes had passed, and Debbie was still standing there frozen like a statue. However, an icy glance from Carlos’ eyes gave her chills.
“Hmph! You jerk! How dare you look at me Like that! Did you forget what you did to me last night? What a two-faced buffoon!’ she cursed inwardly.
Soon, the horrifying memories of the time he had left her alone in the cemetery crept into her mind and gripped her with fear. Shuddering in horror, she bit her lower lip and reluctantly walked to the corner specified by her damn husband.
‘This must be his revenge! He must be enjoying this a lot! Wow! What a petty man!”
Once Debbie stood in the corner, Carlos asked another student to answer his question. A short giggle escaped Debbie’s mouth when she saw that his next target was her friend.
“The second from the left in the 8th row. Stand up and tell us what you’ve learned so far.” The unfortunate soul was Kasie.
‘If she can answer the question, I’ll walk backwards the whole day,
Debbie swore to herself.
Fortunately for Debbie, she didn’t need to do that. Kasie was far from being considered an exemplary student. In fact, she was one of those students who had been enrolled through the backdoor. Having failed in answering Carlos’ question, she was asked to stand next to Debbie.
Debbie felt much better now as she had her good friend’s company.
Much to their surprise, soon their another close friend, Kristina, also joined them on the platform.
Contrary to her two friends before her, Kristina actually answered the question, but since she failed to stress the essentials, she failed to please Carlos.
The three girls were embarrassed to find themselves being put up as an example for the rest of the class. But when they saw each other in the same awkward situation, they couldn’t help giggling.
As for the remainder of the class, most of the girls pretended to be inattentive, in hopes of being questioned by Carlos, so that they could stand on the platform as well. They thought that Debbie and her two friends were Lucky to be standing so close to him.
Unfortunately, Carlos didn’t ask anyone to answer his questions after that.
He was giving Lectures with the help of slides he had prepared at home, which he displayed on the big screen for everyone to see. During his lecture, he stood in front of Debbie with his back to her.
They were so close to each other that she could practically count his hair.
“An idle mind was the devil’s workshop” was an old saying befitting
Debbie’s current state. Bored to tears, she grabbed Kasie’s hand while counting Carlos’ hair.
“Debbie, could you please repeat what I’ve just said?” His cold voice successfully brought her back to her senses.
‘What? Not again!’ she cursed in her mind.
“Uh… You said… I she stammered, not knowing what to say, and regretting not having Listened to him when she had the chance.
Kasie, who had been attracted by Carlos’ handsome face, failed to answer the question like Debbie had. Kristina, however, gave the correct answer this time. Carlos was indeed a good teacher who knew how to explain complicated theories in a more simple manner. As long as
