room. There Layla said after a while: "You, Mike. I'll be going back to school on Monday. Will you help me with this?"Mike looked amazed and nodded and said," I'll help you. Together we can do it. "
They both went to school on Monday. Layla had made some excuses so she could explain her absence. Layla felt uncomfortable on the way to school. She was afraid that she would be laughed at and teased again. Only Mike wouldn't laugh at her. Every step towards school was getting harder and harder for her. Soon the two arrived at the school. Some students saw them and immediately looked away again. It wasn't a miracle either. Everyone at school knew who Layla was. Layla said quietly to Mike, "I'm sorry that the others don't like you now either."
But Mike said: "I've told you so often. I prefer you to the other classmates. I don't care what they say about me. I am who I am." He paused. Then he said: "We should go to our class teacher and make your apology.After all, you haven't been to school in a long time. "Layla saw him and smiled briefly. They entered the school building. Many looked at the two of them. Layla could literally feel the penetrating looks that told her that she was a loser. Mike noticed the look too, but he pretended to be him nothing to do with.
After a few minutes they met their class teacher in the hallway. Layla went to her and gave her the excuses. The teacher replied: "You were sick for a long time. Some students told me that you skipped. So what do you say in your defense?"
Layla thought for a moment and said: “Everything is in the excuses.” Mike and Layla just wanted to go on, but the teacher said after she opened a letter and read it: “Who is this Bryan Kido? He has never had one of yours Signed apologies. And what excuse do you have for that today? "Layla knew at that moment that the teacher wouldn't believe her like that.But she just had to try.
But before she could say anything, Mike said: "Your brother wrote the apology. He now has custody of Layla. You can ask the youth welfare office." The teacher looked at Mike and said nothing more. She finally went away. Layla looked at Mike with a questioning look. Mike then said: "She wouldn't have believed you, did she? At least she still believes me. But for how long, I don't know. ... Let's go to class."
It was as expected. The students avoided Layla and Mike. Now nobody wanted to have anything to do with them anymore. Mike and Layla didn't care as long as they were friends. That day in the fourth lesson they had math. The teacher drew a table with six columns and two rows on the blackboard. In the first line he entered the numbers one to six. At that moment, the class realized they were getting the math work back. Some were happy and others didn't want them again.The rest of the students had mixed feelings. Then the teacher wrote down the next numbers on the second line. He started with the six: three; five: seven; four: seven; three: two; two: one; ones: also one. The average was 4.3. The teacher said: "This work turned out very badly. But I still had it approved. It should show you how serious it is with math."
He took the papers out of his pocket and said: "I was very disappointed in some, but I was very surprised by one of the papers. I would not have believed that there were still miracles in this class. You should really set an example ... I want to see the signature and a complete correction of the five and six. I would like to see the signature of the four, please. " Everyone believed Layla had a six, but the papers were sorted by grade. So the first three books were the six, and those books went to three boys, including Bora.All three cursed about it. Eventually everyone believed Layla had a five. But soon after a few minutes the first one called out that he still had a three. Nobody understood anything now. Mike got the penultimate issue. Before the teacher handed in the last notebook, he said to the class: "You should really be ashamed of yourselves. To hand in such a bad job. There is only one work that has zero errors. And Layla wrote this work. She learned And that's what came out of it. She's got the best work of them all. "He finally handed the notebook over to Layla. No one in the class could believe that she was A. Even she couldn't believe it. She thought she had a six. She had to digest the event first. Mike was happy for her. She was finally the best in the class. The students couldn't believe it either at the end of the school day.
