The Elementals I: Glitch of Space

I'm 'in'.

“Alright, so I convinced her that Aeira was just asked to check the test papers as a favour coming from Mr. Pecz but she kept on insisting why not her? And after that her point of view changed.”

“Like?”

“She said that Aeira is doing that for her grades. You know the sticking to professor thing. I didn’t question that because I cannot know for sure why her.”

“Any misbehaviour or something different at her?”

“Aeira has always been kind for my own opinion but I can’t set aside the fact that she seem to have swallowed a megaphone or what giving her a very LAAAOOOUUD voice.” Alright, she exaggerated that word so I made it exaggerated also here.

“I mean in Nicolei.”

“Uhmm... Just her strong affection of what is like happening ‘coz since the banana-incident which kind of informed Sir that the class knew about them texting each other and exchanging sweet things which is absolutely absurd. And the last time when Sir called seat number 22 and everyone shriek.”

I kept listening to her... I just have to break the paragraph ‘coz you know, it’s kinda boring to read a whole block of text.

She added, “The class seem to notice a change in Mr. Pecz. His being approachable seems to disappear and he’s always been in a hurry. Unlike before, he stops anywhere he met a student looking for him. The smile in his face seem to faint and until now, he seems to be quite snobbish.”

“Do you think it will be a good point of saying that Sir Pecz has something to do with Nicolei’s going missing?”

“I certainly disagree. I’d believe it more if it was Mr. Pecz who went missing, took away by Nicolei.”

We both laughed and decided we leave the matter on the hands of the department. We both arranged our things to prepare for the next lesson.

That afternoon, I went to Mr. Sevnon, who was in a very light mood, to take the third major exam I missed. So I went to the drawing and finished my plate alone, yeah ALONE. And I hope you hate the awkward-shameful feeling when students who were passing by the room’s window looking at you as if you are a repeater of a subject.

But nothing’s new about that. Mr. Sevnon never stayed with us every time we have a plate to finish. He never teaches us. He just goes to the room and tells us the drawing that we should do. Gave us the scaled copy of what we are to do in the buff paper photocopied in a coupon bond and that’s all. I don’t know and we don’t know where he goes but he just stayed for a while then went outside. Probably chitchatting or taking a meal- well, I think he really needs nutrition for his built.

One time, my plate was returned and I saw too many red circles on wrong drawings. To site one, in our Drawing Symbols Plate, it should have been a symbol for cypress trees, which kinda bothers me ‘coz I haven’t seen cypress growing in our country. The sketches on the photocopy are so-so distorted as if it has been the photocopy and a photocopy of the original copy.

I’ve mistaken for the cypress symbol to be like a mound with five sunrays-like lines. So I drew it the way my eyes can see it then I was too surprised that it should be like a mini sketch of a Christmas tree. I can’t blame myself, my eyes have been blurry (and it’s like the nth time I told this to you) with a photocopy even blurry than my eyes. What can I expect?

So, I finished and submitted my plate just before red sunrays turned purplish and soon the night was dark. Surely, the night will be dark, has there been a very bright night before? Well, if you’re in Paris there might be.
