(FYI, Unglückliche Vergesslichkeit, the name of this chapter, means Unfortunate Forgetfulness in German, the class they are attending.)

Ophelia sat on the chair she always sat on. Today was nothing special, only her German class. Sadly, it was boring.

That day, however, it wasn't.

The door slammed open as Miss Abrahams came in. Everyone gulped. She was the most strict teacher they've ever met. She, however, could be fun, but that rarely happened.

"Hello, class." She greeted "Jenkins, stop playing with that. Windsor, give Seyton her book. Do not take away her things just to mess with her. Today we will learn how to ask 'What day is it today?' in German. If we have time, maybe review for tomorrow's test. Windsor, seriously. Give Seyton her book."

Nevaeh scoffed and tossed Seyton's book at her. She looked at the label of her book with sadness.

"Whatever, Natalia, your book is still trash." Nevaeh said.

"Anyway" Miss Abrahams said "Like I said, we'll mostly review today. Who can tell me how to say today?" She asked

Around five to six hands raised up.

"Okay, hmm. Let's see... Seyton?" She asked. Natalia tensed up. She wasn't even raising her hand.

"Okay... Uh... Was it... 'heute'...?" She paused, fearing to be wrong and scolded.

"Correct! Thank you, Seyton. And does anyone have an idea how to say 'What day is today?'"

No one raised their hands, except a very well manicured hand.

"Yes, Windsor..?"

"It's 'Was für ein Tag ist heute'." Nevaeh responded. She had a look of superiority on her face.

"You're right. Now, what day is today, Davidson?" Miss Abrahams asked. The whole class looked at Sonia Davidson, who was sleeping on her desk.

"MISS DAVIDSON!" Miss Abrahams yelled, scaring the whole class. Sonia immediately woke up, and looked at Miss Abrahams perplexed.

"Y-Yes, ma'am...?" She asked. Miss Abrahams faceplanted.

"What day is today, Davidson?"

"Oh, uh... today's... Wednesday... no, Thursday.. wait, no, it's... Yes, it's Thursday." 

"In German, Davidson, in German."

"Oh, uh...." She looked panicked. "I forgot, ma'am."

Miss Abrahams looked at her with disappointment. "Well, Miss Davidson, maybe if you paid attention and studied, this won't happen, and you would be as smart as most of your classmates." She gestured over Ophelia, Nevaeh, and a kid named Jonathan.

"Y-Yes, ma'am..." 

"Also" Miss Abrahams added "I'm pretty sure all you do is play games. Nothing productive. You would be smarter if you cared."

The entire class either looked at Miss Abrahams with death glares, or looked at Sonia, who seemed as if she was going to cry, with concern and empathy. All of them, except Nevaeh.

"Well, class, today, you'll just do a worksheet. That's it. Chop chop."






(I need help with character names and ideas, for extra characters like Sonia Davidson, Natalia Seyton, Jonathan Hills, etc... Have a good day/night!)
