Cleaning The Corridor

"Thank you, Sir! You are very kind. So can we go back to class?" said Joon, bowing again.

"You said you wouldn't call your parents as punishment, but you would still get another punishment."

"What?!" Joon and Gilang screamed at the same time.

"Yes. Instead, your punishment is to sweep and mop all the school corridors after the bell after school! Not bad, right? Instead of going home and playing games right away?" Mr. Hedric spoke softly, but there was a smirk he tried to hide from his protege.

Gilang and Joon's bodies immediately went limp. Their shoulders immediately dropped as if they had no zest for life. Seriously? The whole school corridor said the bald headmaster? This building is not a small building and they have to clean everything? Ah, this is truly the most terrible punishment than just writing a sentence of regret.

However, that's okay. Gilang will agree to this, instead of having to call his papa. Gilang's Mama died several years ago. So, her papa is rarely and almost never at home. Gilang will definitely find it difficult to ask his father to come to school.

Joon as a good friend will certainly accompany Gilang to undergo the punishment. He previously admitted that he was the one who ordered Gilang to stab the school principal's car tire with a nail. So, Joon and Gilang were both punished.

***

Joon and Gilang walked limply towards their class. They haven't finished the punishment from Akiyama Sensei yet, but now the punishment from Mr. Hedric. But at least they did all the punishments together.

Joon put his arm around Gilang's right shoulder.

"Don't be sad like that, my friend! We'll clean it up together later. So, it must be finished soon!" Joon comforted his best friend.

Gilang forced himself to smile. Well, it's not bad either as long as his best friend is by his side. Gilang also put his arm around Joon's shoulder.

"Okay, thanks for helping earlier, Joon! Even though you don't know anything about the tire of the school principal's car that I deflated. But you're being punished too." Gilang bowed slightly, sorry.

Gilang feels that he should not involve Joon in all this. His best friend is still sick, what if Joon suddenly faints as usual from exhaustion, what will it be? Gilang thought. He immediately made him take Joon's hand off his shoulder and shook his head quickly.

Joon frowned at his friend's strange behavior.

"Why, huh? What are you thinking?"

"No, Joon. You still can't do strenuous physical activity, right? You'd better go home later! I'll finish all the punishments," said Gilang. He was still worried about his friend. The day after yesterday when he found out that Joon wasn't breathing had made Gilang very shocked. He didn't want to see that again.

Joon smiled at his friend's words just now. He patted Gilang's head several times.

"Ugh ... you're so cute, Gilang! So you're starting to worry about me, huh? Don't worry, my friend! I won't die just cleaning the corridors."

Gilan nodded at that. What Joon said is also true. There's no way someone would die just from cleaning the corridor, right?

Joon again put his right hand on Gilang's right shoulder. They walked back together, towards their class.

Joon knocks on the door to ask permission to enter. In the classroom, Akiyama Takeyuki Sensei is still filling the lesson.

Akiyama Sensei invited the two students to come in and follow the lesson again.

"Sensei, it's not a quiet day, is it? How come there's still lessons too?" Joon, who has just entered this class, seems to have intended to make the class noisy.

"Says who, huh? Even semester textbooks have also been distributed. So, we teachers have decided to restart your lessons this even semester." Akiyama Sensei spoke. He felt that the arrival of his son would definitely make the atmosphere that was previously calm, will become chaotic.

During the few months teaching here, Akiyama Takeyuki could come to a conclusion. In class 10-F, the only cause of the commotion is Joon, as the leader of the D'Crocodiles. If there were only Mario, Gilang and Miryu in the class, then they wouldn't cause trouble.

It's a different story if there's already Joon. As if Joon is manipulative. All his friends will always be affected by whatever Joon said. Takeyuki also didn't know what kind of ability his son had. Everyone seems to want to do whatever Joon tells them to do.

"But ... we haven't even received the results of the exams and report cards. Why have we started the lessons? Isn't that right, friends?"

"Yes!"

"That's right, Sensei!"

"The week before the end of the semester is a quiet day, Sensei." Well, this is Gilang's voice.

The class immediately nodded and exclaimed in agreement.

Akiyama Sensei let out a rough breath. He also really feels sorry for all of his students. They just had their exams and the distribution of the results of the new exams tomorrow. Meanwhile, the student's guardian took the report card the day after tomorrow. So, it's also true that today is still a quiet day.

Akiyama Sensei finally closed his book.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Akiyama Sensei said softly. As the homeroom teacher, he is indeed the most patient among the strict homeroom teachers from other classes.

Blam!!

Joon slams the table, bringing all the attention of the class to focus on him.

"How about just playing the story, Sensei?" Joon spoke loudly, so that all his friends also heard.

"But it has nothing to do with lessons, Joon. Make a game that has to do with lessons." Akiyama Sensei's words just now, immediately made the whole class bow down sluggishly.

"If it has to do with lessons, then it's still a meaningful lesson, Sensei. It's not a quiet day. If that's the case, just take a daily test." Well, this is the voice of Ryushin, the diligent class president. In fact he also wanted a 'quiet day' but it seems he said the wrong thing just now.

"Good idea, Class Leader! Then prepare two sheets of paper. We will hold a daily test from to review the odd semester lessons," said Akiyama Sensei.

"Sensei~!" The class immediately screamed.
