~{The Basics Of Math!}~

~beginning with the basics~

Your pov

I didn't expect my first day to be with a crazy math addict teacher while practically having no one else in the classroom but me.

I feel like this teacher is going on some sort of drug or something, I can't tell.

What's worse is that poster before we came into that room. Like, the rules for this school.

It looked normal till the last parts of it.  I could only get a glimpse at it since the teacher was leading me inside the dusty classroom.
    

Anyways, I was heading towards the desk at the front of the classroom while Mr. Baldi was getting some papers situated at his desk.

When he was finished, he cleared his throat and stood up.

"Now! It's time for everyone's favorite subject!" He said with a smile. "Math!"

Mr. Baldi looked at me, waiting for a reply.

'The hell do I do?'

"Uh, yay!" I said trying to sound enthusiastic.

Mr. Baldi smiled wider and proceeds  to grab what looks like a leap-frog tablet you give to children on Christmas.

"Um, Mr. Baldi?"

Mr. Baldi turned to me.

"What is that thing your holding?"

He holds the device up to his face, so I could see that it wasn't a leap-frog tablet.
  
"Well my dear student, this contraction here is the 'you can think pad'!"

Mr.Baldi then proceeds to hand me the strange device.

"It also helps with grading the math problems." Mr.Baldi smiles and stands next to my desk.

"All you need to do, is answer the questions right. If you do, then you will get something special."

'Something special huh, I really hope that he doesn't give me a stupid pencil or an eraser with a smiley face.'

I looked at the tablet and saw what looks like three empty boxes and a small black box.

" Oh! Silly me, I forgot some important papers in the faculty room." Mr. Baldi went to his desk to grab what looks like another version of the tablet. But, slightly different.

The tablet was a lot smaller and it had his name in big bold black letters on the back.

"I can talk to you through this special tablet while I run some errands."

Mr.Baldi then walks to the door.

"Good luck!"

Mr. Baldi left and I was stuck in a dusty room with a tablet.

'why is this teacher trusting me to stay in class all by myself... maybe I should just le-'

"Hello Y/n!"

"What the-!?!"

       I was Startled, at the sudden outburst to the point on almost  dropping the Damn thing.

"Whoops! Sorry if I scared you there Y/n!"

I looked down to see Baldi's face on the lowest part of the screen.

"Now, let's get with the lesson shall we?" Mr.Baldi's voiced chirped.

'Again, why is he so happy today? Is it because he's trying his hardest to be nice to me? Or his just a happy and energetic person who loves teaching.'

I nod my head and tapped on the first question.

'You know what...I think he's being an Asshole now..'

The first question that popped up was,

1.     6 + 8 = ?

I just sat there thinking Mr.Baldi was gonna say something like, "oops, wrong question!" But nope.

Mr.Baldi started to see the reaction I had on this question.

"Miss L/n, are you doing alright? Is this problem I made for you to hard?"

'Okay, now I think he's toying with me..'

"No sir, I'm just wondering why you CHOOSE this question." I sat there waiting for a reasonable answer.

"Well, I'm just doing this so we can start fresh!" Mr.Baldi said with a smile. " This is only for a little while though."

'You know what...fine! Since your nice to me, I'll answer some kindergarten questions and get a pencil for my reward. It is the first day of summer school...'

"Okay, Mr.Baldi."

"Oh! and one more thing, in order to answer the question you have to say it out loud so I can hear you. The Mic quality on this thing is truly a headache."

"Yes, Mr.Baldi."

" 14 "

The box has a green check mark now on it.

"Wow! Great job!" Mr.Baldi congratulated me.

I smiled "Thank you."

'Huh, I guess this teacher isn't that bad.'
