Mark POV

   As soon as we entered our class, (which only consists of my and Grace best friends) I could literally lost my mind when I see my four best friends. Prem who is stuffing his face with his breakfast while Jimmy tried to eat some of them. Sammy who is busy fangirling on the 6moons couples with Grace who run straight to the half thai girl as soon as she arrives.  I searched for Frank but he is nowhere to be seen. I  walked towards my table and opened up my pc before a ghost popped out on my screen.

    "Fuck is that! Who did this to me?! Reveal yourself asshole!" I screamed and looking at the four mofos that keep laughing at me. I look at Jimmy. And he exclaimed. "Not my idea! It's Prem's!" Prem widen his eyes and said. "He's with me too!" I am done woth those motherfuckers and starts to run around the class. Suddenly, the fancy white wooden door opens reveals our beloved class president Frank with some papers in his hands.

    Everyone starts to scurry to their own place as all of us know if he come late to class that's mean something happened. "Good morning, my dear friends. Today, Mr. Wilson who's our homeroom and maths teacher unexpectedly retired from his work to take care of his sick wife-"

      "Awww..."

"Stop it Sammy!"

"Sowwy."

"Can I continue?" He asked and all of us nod. "So, a new teacher will replace him today. And I hope that you guys will give a full cooperation to him." He said and walk to his seat which is beside of my table. "Did you see him?" I asked. "Yes, I lead him to the school office. He looks quiet young. I mean younger than Mr.Wilson.Maybe around 40 something." said Frank as he opened his pc.

    "Is he hot?" Sammy, who's sitting in front of us turn her back to us with her deskmate, Grace. That girl really an epitome of chaotic bi. Grace and hot people never be apart. "He's kinda cute for his age. I mean he looks innocent and naive." Frank said. And he turned his back to the prankster duo. "No prank on this teacher, okay?"

     "YES SIR!"

   The door let out a beeping noise signalling someone tried to open the password but failed. Grace stand up from her seat ready to scold someone who tried to invade their class. "WHO AR- uhh.. Hi... Hehe.." She ran to her place as soon as she realised that's our new teacher. That girl need some manner. He entered the class awkwardly and stand in front of our class.

    We stand up and greet him before sitting down again. "Ermm... Hi, class! I'm your new teacher, Mr. Thiwat. I'm your new homeroom teacher and math teacher. Urmmm..." Mr. Thiwat looks so nervous when he talked. Maybe the teachers may have said something about us to him. Pity him. "It's okay, Mr. Thiwat. We're excited to be teached by you." Said Sammy that make the male teacher look less nervous. "Umm... Let's start with introduction and some chitchat with you guys. It's not fun to just jump into studying. Let's start with you. Introduce yourself." Said Mr. Thiwat as he pointed at Grace.

    "Hi! I'm Grace Kanya Jongcheveevat. You can call me Grace for short. I like to eat and sleep and shopping too. I mean nothing is better than spending your dad's money while you can. And I love spicy food." Grace said.

    Sammy stand up and clears her throat." Ehem.. Ehem... Name given by my parents is - " suddenly her words were cut by Prem." Keep it short and simple sweetie." He said only to receive a death glare from Sammy. " My name is Samantha Melanie Coates. You can call me Sammy and my hobbies are watching cute boys on social medias and taking cute selfies. I can give you some advice on selfies if you want to Mr. Thiwat." Sammy said. "I will, Sammy." said Mr. Thiwat as he let out a small chuckle.

  Now its my turn. I stand up and start to introduce myself. "Hi! I'm Mark Sanit Jongcheveevat. Call me Mark and I love to write." When I introduce myself I took a chance to look at his face. He look a bit like Grace. There is a small similarities and I think I have seen that face before. I finished my introduction and Frank take his turn. "I'm Frank Kittichat Panich. You can call me Frank for short and I'm the class president." He said and sit down. 

   "HI,Mr.Thiwat! My name is Prem Warut Chawalitrujirong! I love bread!" He said shortly and sit down. Mr.Thiwat chuckled at the boy's enthusiasm. The last is the tallest one in my class,Jimmy. "Hi,sir! I'm Jimmy Karn Kritsanaphan. I am the tallest but the cutest one in this class!" Said him as he making some cute finger gestures that makes everyone in our class cringed.

   "Now, let me introduce myself. My name is Type Thiwat. I'm 36 years old. From now on I am your homeroom teacher, and you can share anything and everything to me if you wanted to. I am your father here at school." He said with a gentle smile that make me felt weirdly warm inside.

  "Mr.Thiwat, can we call you papa?" Asked Grace. I know how much Grace wanted a parent figure in her life. I hope Mr.Thiwat wouldn't mind. "Of course you guys can call me Papa. I just said that I am your father here in school." 

  "Papa,are you married? Or maybe dated?" Sammy asked. "No,I'm not. And I don't think I ever wanted to." He said. "Why,Papa? Did someone hurt you?" Now it's Prem who asked him another question. "Maybe. Actually, He took more than my heart. He took my most precious item away from me." He answered. All of us could literally see a spike of sadness in his voice. The class went quiet for a while before Jimmy said something that could lift up the class's mood. 

  "Papa, tomorrow is Mark and Grace's birthday! And we planned to celebrate it together at their house. And, I think it will be really awesome if you celebrate it with us." All of us nod. "Please,Papa! I am sure it will be better if you are there at my birthday party. My dad aren't going to be home anyway. " Grace said with her twinkling eyes. " I will, Grace. Send me your address and we will celebrate it together." And all of us cheers up.

   Grace look at me and give me her biggest smile that I never seen in my whole entire life. How I wish Daddy can be with us really easily like papa do. And I bet if our real papa was here with us we will be happy. I wish that papa type is my papa.
