Morning class…
The bell rang and all students entered the classroom, Novie came in and saw the piece of paper on her table, she walks towards it and picks it up.
Her eyebrow snapped together when she saw it was the list for the new students, shock flashed in her face when she saw the triplets name in her class.
(Whoa! They found a way to get into my class) she exclaimed inside, her eyes roamed around the four walls of the room but she could not find them.
She sighed and put the paper down, her hand reaches to the book on her desk and opened the first page.
"Have you done your assignments?" she asked her students. One by one, the student passed their papers containing the homework she gave yesterday.
She got up and stand in the aisle, one hand holding the paper and the other drumming the pen on her cheeks.
"Excuse me" a man's voice spoke from the door, Novie lifted her face and saw Evan standing with the triplets next to him.
Her lips parted a little in shock, she was expecting them to show up on Monday.
"Hi, Mr. Su" she walks to their direction and looked at the triplets.
They were wearing the public school uniform, the two boys are wearing brown slacks matched with a white polo with the school logo on the right side of the chest, Leo has his usual messy hair while Ethan has his glasses on, serious expression and neatly combed one-sided hair.
She looked at Alexa, she wants to burst after seeing her reaction. The girl's lips were plucked like the lips of a duck while her cheeks were blushing, eyes gloom with irritation.
Her coffee brown frizzy shoulder-length hair was slicked back showing her high forehead. Novie runs her eyes over Alexa's clothes.
Her maroon skirt almost reached her shoes while the school logo in her white shirt has been replaced by a pink unicorn sticker.
Novie's round eyes looked at Evan in surprise.
"What's with the unicorn?" she asked Evan, shock jolted her body when she saw the bag underneath his eyes, his eyes were red and half opened as if he didn't have any sleep for a week.
"She wanted it and I don't have the energy to argue with her" Evan spoke in a faint voice.
"Are you ok? What happened to you?" Novie asked in a concerned voice.
Evan sighed, he handed the colorful sling bag he was holding to Alexa and shifted his eyes to Novie.
"My wife… she had this important thing she needed to discuss to me so we stay until 7 am, I will leave now. We will send someone to look after the triplets until Daniella's anger passes. I spoke to the principal and there should be no problem. If there's some issue with the triplets you can call me" Saying that, Evan took a card from his wallet and gave it to her.
She accepted it and turned to the triplets.
"Let's go and introduce yourselves" Novie spoke in a cheered voice.
"Bye daddy" the triplets bid their goodbyes at the same time.
After Evan left, Novie asked the triplets to introduce themselves.
Ethan went first, he stood in front of the class, one hand jammed in the front pocket while the other adjusted his glasses.
"Hi, My name is Ethan Su and I am five-year-old. You don't need to talk to me as I am not interested in making friends" He spoke in a cold voice and left the spotlight, the kids focused, some boys who're older than him murmured while the girls lowered their glowing face.
Leo went next, he stood in the same spot Ethan left; he rested a hand on his hip and rattled one of his legs.
"I am Leo Su, how are you?" Leo spoke in a cool voice and winked at the girl sitting in the front row, the girl narrowed her eyes and snub him.
The chattering went loud when Alexa marched in front of the class.
She encircled a bundle of hair in one of her delicate stubby finger while her other hand gripped her bag. Her round eyes blinked and her lips curved up a sweet smile.
"Hi, I am Alexandria Chen Su, Ethan and Leo are my brothers and we are triplets" She started and chin up.
"My name was given by my older brother Danny to honor my grandmother Alexandria which is my mom's mother. I like unicorns, and colorful stuff, I can dance, sing, play piano and can speak six different languages including Mandarin." she breathed and continue.
"I don't really care if you want to be my friends or not, I hate bullies, in my previous school there was--"
Novie immediately got up and stops Alexa by holding her shoulder.
"I will be your advisor, why don't you three find your chair and we will start the class" Novie interrupted Alexa, she has been warned by Ken, saying that once Alexa talked, she doesn't stop until someone interrupts her.
And since she already spent thirty minutes talking to Evan, she's afraid there's not enough time to discuss her topic.
Ethan sat in the third row next to Alexa while Leo seated behind the girl he gave winked earlier.
"Ok, so can anyone tell me what we learned in the past four days?" Novie asked while her hand flip the pages of the book.
She looked at them and saw the triplets raising their hands. Novie shut her eyes, her nose crinkled with a thought she'll be teaching the triplets who are gifted.
"Ethan, Leo and Alexa you can take part on Monday. You must read the first four chapters of the book" she showed a fake smile and look around.
"Genesis, do you remember the topic I discussed yesterday?" she called out the boy sitting at the end of the row who's busy staring at Leo with his eyes narrowed in annoyance.
The boy shook his head and leaned his back at the chair.
The girl in front of Leo raised her hand, "Ok, Cassie can you please tell the class what we discussed yesterday?" Novie asked.
When the girl stood up, Novie saw how Leo stared at Cassie.
(What the hell is this? A five-year-old hitting on the six-year-old girl) Novie's face went poker.
The girl explained the topic while Leo stared at her with his eyes shining like a diamond.
Novie walked and stood next to Leo, she bent closer to the boy and whisper.
"Do you like her?" she murmured in silent, the boy looked at her with round eyes and shook his head.
Novie giggled and straightened, she went back to her chair and proceed to her class.
After the bell rung for Lunch, she saw the Alexa scurrying off out of the classroom dragging her brothers with her.
Novie twitched her lips and dialed Ken's number. When the man answered, she heard him breathing heavily.
"Ken, the triplets are in my class and they left for lunch but something's off" she spoke in shady tone.
"They will be fine, but Novie listen. I don't know if I will survive this but I want you to know that I love you so much" Ken spoke in between his heavy breathing.
A line appeared between her brows, puzzled by his words.
"Why where are you?" she asked in a frightened tone, her heart beats like a drum.
"Your father, we are in the forest and he left to get his machete. So if you don't see me in the next few days, you can search for my body in the forest"
Novie flattened her expression, she got worried thinking he might be in trouble.
She let out a sighed and wanted to comfort him but the man disconnects the call.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
