A Collective Narrative

First Class of The First Day

Well that's just great, I cant believe I'm gonna be late on the first day.

"Run, just run" I tell myself.

I somehow manage to reach the room in time, just about two minutes to spare.

I open the door and I see my teacher sitting in front along side a student talking.

Oh I guess he'll start class when he's done chatting maybe? 

Better find a place to sit, this is gonna be important cause I don't want to end up regretting this later. 

I am no way gonna sit in front where the teacher can see me clearly, plus he's right there talking it'll be weird for me to just plop right next to him or in the row at all.

The back is out of the question cause I cannot see the board at all.

Guess the choice is the middle, but where?

Forget this, I'm just going to sit in the direct middle near the center aisle.

This class is pretty empty, there's like only 10, 12 people in here.

I wonder if we'll be classmates for other class.

I wonder if we'll end up becoming friends.

I hope everything works out.

Come to think of it, am I even in the right class?

I need to check my notebook again.

....

"RM 212, that's this room right?" I muttered to myself.

Can I just get up and go outside to check the door?

No that would be weird.

But I need to make sure I'm in the right room.

But it feels embarrassing to just walk out and come back in.

But it would be even more embarrassing to be in the wrong room.

Alright I'm gonna go check it, just please nobody see me funny.

I get up and briefly exit the room and check the room number.

RM 212, whew I'm in the right room.

I walk back inside and sit down again in my chair.

The teacher is sure taking his time talking with that student.

Is he even the teacher? I mean it's kinda weird that's just sitting where the students sit.

But he looks pretty much older than everyone else here, he's gotta be the teacher.

Maybe he's one of the chill teachers who's friendly with the students.

But its been like 10 minutes now since I came into the room.

Oh hey the student the teacher was talking to said bye and left the room, guess it's time for class to start.

....

Wait why is he just sitting there?

Is he waiting for more students to come it?

I mean the class is kinda small, maybe he's being considerate since this is an early morning class.

....

Ok it's been 20 minutes this can't be right, he's just there doing nothing.

A teacher opens the door halfway and asks, "Hi is this Bio 50?"

"No this is French 35." replied the person I thought to be the teacher.

"Oh Ok sorry." and so the teacher leaves.

Wait what? That can't be right.

I look at my classmates and everyone starts looking at each other and we all had the same thought.

"Are we in the wrong room?"

We all collectively stand up and leave the room and start asking each other what do we do.

"Hold on, did you all also thought this was Bio 50?"

"Yeah, I thought so too" 

"That's what it says in my profile" 

"I so confused now"

"I think it's that man who's in the wrong."

"So what do we do now?"

"Talk to him I guess and tell him he might be in the wrong room."

Somehow I end up going back inside to ask what room is he supposed to be in but before I can the teacher returned.

"Hey you, this is not French 35. Your room is RM 304."

The man apologizes and rushes out to go to his actual room and everyone goes back inside the room.

The teacher stands in front by the desk.

"Alright so I'll clarify once again, this is Bio 50 yes? Section A Lecture under Ma'am Bahas?"

"Yes sir~" everyone responds.

No wait that's not my class, I'm supposed to be having Bio 50 Lab Section D under Sir Ramos.

Oh no, am I in the wrong class after all? This cannot be happening.

"Excuse me sir, is this really Bio 50 Lecture A? My class is Lab D."

"Oh, then you must be in the wrong room. Lab right? This room is typically for lectures while the rooms on the other side are meant for lab classes. Your room is probably RM 210, try going there and see if it is."

"Ah I see, thank you sir." I said as I quickly leave the room.

I can't believe this is happening. So much time has already passed being in the wrong room.

I get to RM 210 and I look through the window on the door and I see the room full and the teacher has already started class.

Of course he already started the class it's been like 35 minutes.

And then it hits me, I'M 35 MINUTES LATE

I open the door to head inside and the teacher sees me.

"Oh are you here for Bio 1?"

"No sir, Bio 50."

"Oh your teacher isn't here today, just sign this attendance and you can go ahead and leave."

What an incredible stroke of luck, there's no class today.

Now what do I do for the remaining time?
