"Alright, good luck in school," their Father said as Miggy and Emmanuel exited the car. They both made their way to school.
Miggy: I hate Mondays...
Emmanuel: Do you have any other choice?
Miggy: Yes?
Emmanuel: Are you gonna do it?
Miggy: No...
Emmanuel: Thought so.
They both split up and made their way to their classrooms.
Ayham: Hey! What's up!
Miggy: Morning.
Sam: Eyy!
They gave him a high-five, and they sat down on a nearby chair near the balcony while Miggy headed inside the classroom. He took a seat and sighed.
Lea: Hey! Are you okay?
Aries: Slept late?
Aries and Lea looked at him. Miggy groans and turns to both of them.
Miggy: Yeah, I was waiting for you to respond!
Aries: I was tired!
Lea: You guys should stop staying up late.
Miggy: It's fine
Aries: Maybe that's why you're small.
Aries laughed while Miggy scoffed. He leaned back against his chair and waited for the class to start. Not long after, class began.
An hour and a half later, recess.
They all took a break after two subjects. Miggy was busy having a conversation with Aris and Lea when someone approached them.
Justin: Hey! How are your fingers?
Miggy: They're gonna be decapitated!
Aries: Dude...!
Lea: That's not funny...
Alf: That's just dark.
Miggy shrugged and chuckled. Justin and Alf left the classroom to buy food in the cafeteria. 20 minutes later, it's back to class. An hour later, while the teacher was busy teaching, Miggy was starting to doze off during class. As his eyes started to close, someone nudged him.
Julian: You okay?
Miggy: ...Yeah.
Genos: I don't think you are.
Julian: Yeah, your eyes are shutting.
Miggy: Sorry.
Mr. Jay Marc: That seems like an interesting conversation. Is it all about the ellipse?
They were spooked and turned to the teacher.
Mr. Jay Marc: ...
Genos: Uhh... Yes, Sir?
Mr. Jay Marc: Really? Will you answer the question on the board?
The students laughed and snickered. Miggy sighed.
Minutes later, it was break time.
Emjay: Hey, Miggy! Can I borrow like 15 bucks? I'm so hungry.
Miggy: Sure.
He handed 20 bucks to Emjay. He thanked Miggy and left. He sighed in relief and took out his lunchbox, and joined in with Aries and Lea. A few minutes later, he finished eating lunch when someone unexpectedly called him.
Anghelo: Miggy.
Garret: Miggy, help me draw for tomorrow's group project.
Lovesky: Yeah, our work is done! You both have to draw, so we could visualize it.
Miggy: Sure.
Emielle: Come on, we only have 50 minutes to do this.
Mika: Call the others, let's finish this before Ms. Krysta barges in.
They all gathered around to continue their group project. Around 50 minutes later, class started once again. After an hour, it was breaktime once again.
Miggy: I'm a little worried for Mr. Jerold. Mr. Lemon said he is sick today.
Precious: I mean... It's stormy this month.
Ronnie: Also, disease seems to be pretty common this month.
Miggy: Man... I wanna get sick as well.
Carl: You are already diseased. Your hand looked like it turned in turn into a zombie.
Their conversation was abruptly interrupted by a loud thunderclap and heavy rain.
It sure is stormy this month...
A few minutes later, another teacher arrived. "Good Afternoon, Mr. Jerold." They all said. He walked in front of the class, slowly and limping. He coughed out loud, making all the students anxious.
"Alright, kids, just hang in there with me for a sec, alright? Recently, I was told that... My immune system isn't working, so... I'm more vulnerable to diseases." His voice was raspy, and he looked exhausted. His current condition is much worse than what their advisor had described. And with that, the teacher began teaching. After finishing their lesson, Mr. Jerold coughed contagiously until he coughed out blood.
He was quiet as he made his way out of the classroom. The cough was way too contagious, making him forget to cover his mouth. Small droplets of blood splattered onto the students.
They were all quiet until the class dismissed.
All the students finally went home.
Lea: Mr. Jerold's condition is way worse.
Miggy: I know.
Elle: I'm sure it won't last long.
Aries: Yeah, I hope so.
Lea: Well, gotta go! See you all tomorrow!
They all bid farewell to each other and went home. As Aries and Lea made their way back home, they saw Mr. Jerold walking slowly and limping. They looked closely at him and noticed his arms were decaying.
