Macau's POV:
I freaking hate this college.. As if studying and taking classes were not enough now I have take this extra-mock Lecture from some senior!!
Last night I argue with my brother, but he's too stubborn when it's come to study... actually he's stubborn about every other thing that he thinks good or important for me.
One thing for sure you can't win against Vegas Theerapanyakul. He's as good with words as with knives.
Sigh~~~~
Why is it immoral to hate your brother!
After dad died he becomes more strict almost severe when it's come to my future. I abhore to compare my brother with my father... but they always makes me do things they wanted.
Sigh~~~
Maybe I'm just being over dramatic like my crazy cousin, Khun.
Come on Macau it's just a.... freaking two hours long lecture.
All of my plans that I made with my friends goes to the drains.
But it's not that bad, after all it's not only me who end up here. All of my friends were here too. Their plans went to drains too.
Haha that makes me feel better a little bit.
At least I'm not the only one who keep sighing .... suffering from boredom.
Sigh~~
We were sitting in the lecture hall, sitting and waiting for a nerd senior coming from the damn door just to bore us to death in the next two hours.
I wanted to stood in my chair and shout to relax myself a bit.
I mean seriously who in the world wanted to volunteer for something like this....!
My friend told me that the senior who will teach us gets extra marks too, just like us.
Greedy senior!
We made a retribution plan against the damn senior.
We were just talking among the friends but surprisingly whole class becomes the part of it too.
Everyone gave their own ideas and opinions just to irked the senior.
Haha my fellows are too smart but in the wrong way!
The more that nerd senior gets late the more creative our plan became.
.
As the door opened all the eyes goes to see the senior.
I turned my head to look too..
I was imagining a senior in a thick vision glasses, shirt buttoned all the way up. With lots of notes and books in hand, wearing well polished shining sheos.
But the figure walked in the lecture hall surprised not only me but all of us.
She was a tall girl, same height as me. I think.
I looked at her as she walked towards the podium.
Is she the right person? I mean where's the glasses or lots of books, she was only came with a backpack and a piece of paper in her hand.
Even her dressing was something I could never imagine. She was wearing a long scarf around her neck, so I can't tell if her shirt is button up or not. I glanced at her shoes, she was wearing check print sneakers with her jeans cuff fold up.
Wait!! She not wearing a skirt!?
I turned around to look at other girls to see if their uniforms got changed..
Nope she was the only one.
She made a face while looking around at us.
Huh!!! if you don't want to be here just leave nobody's gonna stop y....
I was busy mumbling to myself but stopped as she.... smiled?
Why?
I glanced around to see if she found someone she knows... Ummm I don't think so.
She brushed he long bangs with her long fingers. Then looked at...me? Us?
She made a one second eye contact with all of us.
As soon our eye met I had a stupid urge to smile back at her.
Sheeesh Macau! Get yourself together. Remember the plan! And stick to it...
"I think I fell in love.." I heard someone behind me saying.
"Did you see she was looking at me." My friend giggled besides me. Idiot!
I swear I heard some happy-sighing around me.
Are they for real???
Then after making everyone fall in love with her she finally opened her mouth..
To introduce herself?
"Hey I am Amy, your third year senior, a mock teacher today, or just a greedy senior who is commiting this minor crime for some extra marks." She said with a smile.
Woah She's cool!
I heard some chuckling around me.
"OMG! Girl at first sight!" My friend nudge me, whispering.
I just rolled my eyes and pass a comment..
"You really need some extra lessons on English, dude!"
He gave me a confused look.
"So shall we began....?" She asked but no one answered her not even a nod, just as we planned. Hehe
She tilted her face a little looking at us.

AMY's POV:
Ring~~~
"Oh fish!"
That's what came out of my mouth when I heard my cellphone ringtone.
That was my alarm!
Oh no I'm late. I was busy in the library, placing the books back in the shelves that I took in the morning to prepare the mock-lecture I have to deliver today.
I didn't even realize that my damn wrist watch stopped working after 3pm.
Sigh~~
I failed to make a first good impression on my juniors.
At freaking four..
I ran as fast as I can carrying only one paper in my hand that I made after skimming through eight freaking books all day.
I just make a general list of topics that I need to teach.
I was out of breath when I finally reached my destination.
Why in the hell this lecture hall is that far away from the library..!
Who designed this stupid building!!
It took me one good minute to relax myself.
Inhale~
Exhale~
I held my head high, squared my shoulders and walked in.
I glanced around the lecture hall. Everyone one was staring at me.
Are they mad because I made them wait? I wanted to sigh as soon as I see so many faces.
I didn't expect this much crowd.. I thought half of the Freshmen would skip this lecture or just shamelessly ditched the class.
A smile appeared on my face.
I looked at the face of each and every juniors, just to show them that I'm happy at their presence here and to let them know that they are equally important to us senior.
Like seriously I am kinda representative of third year here.
Then I frankly introduce myself just to remind them that I'm not a teacher... Just a senior - a greedy one. Haha
I heard some chuckling sounds.
Well that makes me less stressed. But as soon as I get to the point... there spread a pin drop silence.
If it was a scene of anime. Then this was the perfect moment for a crow to crowed upon my head and left.
I ignored the silent-treatment that I was getting and start teaching, I've already wasted fifteen minutes.
I prepare enough material to cover two hours but I think now I have to skip some of the topics in my list.
I was surprised that it only took fifteen minutes to tell them about Parts of speech... it was freaking enough to worth half an hour lecture at first. At this rate I bet I can complete my whole damn list in just one hour.
I don't think I'm delivering a lecture it feels more like a presentation.
I glanced at everyone's blank faces. Either they are making a pokerface or they don't understand English.
Inward Sigh~~~
I think I am doing something wrong. Like seriously who teaches English while speaking in english!!
I placed the paper on the damn table hiding my annoyance from kids.
"I have a question?" I said loudly. "How many of you can speak or understand English?"
"..." No answer.
Now I know! These juniors of mine were messing with me.
How evil of them!
"No one!? I mean if I talk in English none of you will get the meaning of my speech?" I narrowed my eyes at all of them.
They are really good at this thing, you know making a blank face, playing dumb.
I wanted to praise their skills, but they are messing with the wrong person.
Let me just remind them that I'm their freaking senior.
How dare they make a fool out of me!
I took a deep breath as I was going to do something stupid...
I opened my bag and took out a paper cutter.
And stood in the center.
I wanted to smile but a psychotic grin appear on my face as I get started, again in english.
"You know what... hell with the mock-lecture thing. I'll tell you a short story..." I saw eyes wavering..
"Yesterday I was doing regular things that I have to do at home.. Then I get a call from this place.. 'Hello are you Amy from third year, Literature Major?' yes I am... 'we just call to inform you that you need to deliver a mock lecture to the Freshmen...' two hours long! bloody hell...!"
I was holding up my paper cutter imitating as a cellphone.
"I was like what!!! Why me!! I don't want to do this stupid thing. As I don't have any free time to shower upon my juniors. But guess what..." I clicked my tongue showing disappointment
"...they told me it's too late. And that someone has already gave my name as a volunteer a week before. Now there's no going back.."
I saw some eyebrows started to get furrowed in curiosity. I smiled to myself.
So they know what I'm talking..
Silly juniors pretending to be dumb like they didn't understand english.
I jumped to sit on the table.
I opened my cutter and looked at the fine shining blade.
"You know, what I had to go through today to prepare this bloody mock lecture..." I said in low voice but louder enough for all the ears to heard clearly.
Yeah I cursed in front of a whole damn crowd of freshmen.
"First I want to know who in the hell gave my name! Then..." I looked around..
"Do you want to know what I would do to whoever that is?" I asked while grinning.
I felt curiosity building up in the class. I glanced up and saw question marks on some of the faces.
I took the paper lying beside me and raised my cutter in the air and...
Slash!!!
I heard some gasps.
I bited my cheek.
Don't laugh Amy. Just don't.
"I wanted to run this blade on the hand of whoever make me do this.. Imagine I run this thing over the skin and leaving a red thin snake behind.."
I saw some horrified faces. Hehe!
"But now that I have already spent my whole day running around in library, reading books, making a list of topics, preparing lecture... I have a change of both heart and mind."
I jumped down the table, take the two halves of the paper and start ripping it apart with my bare hands. Then slammed it on the table making a satisfying noise.
"Here I am against my will but well prepared. You kids are here against your wills too.. so let's just make the time worth it. Either studying or enjoying.."
I smiled sweetly at them waiting for an answer or... any reaction. All of them looked at each other as if deciding something.
I'm sure I made them make some changes in their rebellious plan. Hah!
"One more thing!" I hit the table to get all the attention at once.
"If you guys made a retaliation plan against someone," I took a dramatic pause "expect a reprisal."
