93rd

Today I walked to school alone. While I was walking, I bumped into Aliya. I don't even bother to greet her or even eye contact her because I know she won't be looking back. If this is my old school, and if she's one of my friend in my old school, I'd probs hug her and walk with her together.

But anyway, we don't so I just walk alone to my class. I got double Humanities. We just did some Mind Maps about Ancient Egypt and Place and Liveability. I don't even participate and Omar keep suggesting ideas about Red Dog or The Witches which is in English not Humanities.

After we finished copying the Mind Map, Miss Gray gave us an Exam Revision sheet with tonnes of questions in it. I did some of it with Omar, because I have to share the sheet with him. He helped me on question number two, and he overreacted because of it. He told Miss Gray and the whole class.

We proceed and for one of the question, we can't find the answer. So, we go on the internet to find it. Omar clicked on a website and there was a Malaysian Airline ad with KL Tower as the background. He was like "Humaira, look! It's in Malaysia, aye? I've been there". With a proud face. I was like.. "Me too?"

Anyway, I just continue my work and Omar and Mohammed start talking about dirt bike and stuff and what they did last night when they were in a sleepover. (lol, I've never taught boys does sleepover). They talked and talked until Miss Gray got mad and Miss Gray gave a warning to Omar.

Omart got really mad because Miss Gray didn't give Mohammed a warning too. Miss Gray and Omar keep "debating" until Miss Gray got mad and Omar got mad he sulk and ignore Miss Gray. I felt kinda guilty cause I don't know what to do, and if I did anything, I think I'm gonna feel guilty too. He sulk and took the sheet all by himself. Thank God I've finished.

Miss Gray tried to ignore him too, she said its actually good because then he don't call out or interrupt others. At one point, someone asked about the question Omar told everyone in the class, and Miss Gray asked Omar to repeat it. But since Omar was ignoring Miss Gray, he didn't reply.

I think Miss Gray felt guilty too. I can see it in her face. But since she is a teacher, there's no way she's gonna feel guilty for Omar, aye? Anyway, Miss Gray tried to grab Omar attention but Omar keep ignoring her, so she just ignore Omar too.

It was so stressul. Since Miss Gray sat infront of me and Omar sat by my right. I can really feel the tense eventhough they were all doing their work. Sigh, I remember once MY teacher sulk to ME. Haha, for some reason it sounds funny right now.

It was the day when we force our Language Teacher to take us to the field during a free time. I was sitting besides my Language Teacher on a cement pavement or something. While the others play the cooking game thing using some leaves and stones and someone's drink, I have a chat with her.

We chatted and chatted and suddenly someone shouted "EIII ULAT!!" ("EII, A WORM!"). And both of us like "Where? Where?" and stuff. Our Language Teacher just shove the worm over using her BARE HANDS. I was like "Eww, that's disguisting!" and she was like "What did you said?"

I was like "Err.. but still! It's a worm, seriously!" and she got like "Just say I'm disguisting, then don't get near me!" I felt kinda guilty but I was like "Okay, fine!" (I really said that) and we don't go like a meter away from each other.

Less than 2 minutes later she was like "Until when are you gonna be that far from me?" And I was like "You are the one who said that!" and she unexpectedly said "Come, sit next to me" And point on the cement next to her. Being a stubborn I am, I hestitate. But then, I sat next to her though. And we continue on chatting and chatting and chatting.

Owh God how I miss her. But anyway, later on the bell rang and it was time for Recess. I hangout with my sister like always. Since Kak Za just had sport, we talked about sports. I remember my favourite sport is the one when we have to form two groups, then the first group will have to run one by one across the gym and get a bean bag and put it in a container, while the other team throws balls to the one's running.

I remember how weak I am (I still am) that I throw the ball and never even hit anyone. So, I just pass the ball to my teammates. And Mr Johnson be like "Humaira, I want to see YOU throw it" I was like why do I have to use my disadvantage while my advantage is picking up the ball?

But anyway, I got 3/5 for physical performace like wth but I don't care anymore because it's over now. After Recess was English, in the library. We have to set up the Google thing but I have done it with Mr Stewart, so yeah. I just continue on reading Divergent.

In the middle of the class, Miss Ring came and gave the ones who meet the Victorian Premier Reading Challenge. I'm one of them and she called "Aiman?" and they were like "It's Humaira" but pft even if they said so, there's nothing they can do about it. Miss Matthews have tried to change it but it didn't.

Anyway, while I was reading Divergent, suddenly Miss Ring come to me with a sheet of paper and said "Have you returned the book Divergent?" I was like "I'm reading it?" and she said "Owh, you have to return it by tomorrow, okay?" I was like lol I know. Such a waste of paper and ink to print that thing out.

The bell rang and we went to Science class. Miss Savic's still away, so we got a sub. It's a Turkish teacher who once approached me and asked me about Bayram (Eid). They boys was like "OMG it's the turkish teacher! The one in the library! OMG OMG" and stuffs. 

Anyway, we coame in and the turkish teacher asked Glenys whether Miss Savic left us a revision sheet, and Glenys said "I think she did, let me ask a trusted student" and she come to me. And asked me whether or not Miss Savic left us a revision sheet.

I told them yes and I take out the revision sheet and show it to them. The Turkish teacher was like "Have you finished it?" and I said yes. And they start saying that I could revise for the other subjects and they start talking about mind maps and stuffs.

Anyway, I just continue on reading Divergent. While I was reading a couple minutes later the Turkish teacher came to me and said "You're a good student. I hope there are many more students like you" he left me speechless. I was like "Thanks" and he pat my shoulder.

Lylah was like "Good girl" with a smirk on her face. And she told me that she was once the top student too and such. Then I continue on reading Divergent. The bell rang and we got another sub teacher for the second period. It was a pretty Asian teacher I always saw doing the yard duty.

Anyway, I don't really "interact" with her cause I was too keen to finish reading Divergent. But I know that she was so supporting like once someone asked her about how seasons occur or something and she took the globe and a flashlight from the staff room and demonstrate it to them. 

Sooner or later I finished reading Divergent, just a couple minutes before the bell rang. The teacher was like "Everyone be quite, the bell goes in three seconds!" And Imad starts counting like mimicking her. He counted "Three.. Two.. One.." and the bell goes. Everyone was like "WOO" and the teacher was like using her index and thumb finger pointing the door. "Like a boss, Miss. Like a boss" Lylah said.

It was time for lunch and I gather with Kak Za and Melek like always. I bought a pie which cost me I can't remember how much from the canteen and ate it with them at our usual spot. After we finished eating our lunch, like always, we went to the library and played a couple sets of UNO like always and Miss Fra was on library duty, and she smiled at me.

The bell rang and it was time for the last period. I got Maths and we continue on learning Algebra. Ceren asked why are we learning since we're supposed to be doing exams revision. And Mr McPhail was like "How can we revise when we don't even finished learning?" and yeah. The class was so loud Mr McPhail nearly kept us in, but luckily he didn't. 

91st

Today I woke up like normal, took a shower like normal, and get to school like normal. We bumped onto Sarah on the way so we just walk together We talked about random stuffs through the park, across the road and through the school compund. Suddenly Srarah said "Humaira, why is your bag opened?" I was like kinda clueless but then I remembered I forgot to bring my iPad!

I need to get back home to get it, but Kak Za can't come with me since it's a Thursday and she had cooking class for the first two periods and if she come late she won't be able to cook. So I said, well I can go by myself. But then Sarah want to come with me. At first I was like 'no don't come!' but she come with me anyway so I was like 'heh whateva' because I don't want to be "late-er".

We turn back through the school compound, across the road, through the park and arrived at my house. I came in, took my iPad, made a note and asked Ayah to sign it. I then get out of the house and walk with Sarah to the school. We had to go through the office since the gate was already closed.

We went to our locker and put our bags, I wrote a note for Sarah underneath my note and we went to Wendy's office. Wendy was so mad that I wrote the note for Sarah cause she said "this is not a note from Sarah's mother" and they're like 'debating' and stuffs. But then she gave it to us anyway.

After we got the note, we should go straight to class. But then, Sarah needs to fix her scarf. And she asked me to come. I was like 'Hey, we're late! You should've fix it before we take the note'. But she forced me and I don't want to make it seems like I'm selfish because she've come with me.

I got 5 minutes late from the note given but luckily Mr McPhail didn't say anything. The class was like "Woo!!" when I came in which was kinda embarassing but that's not my fault! I sat on a seat besides Adna because the seat besides Esin was occupied. The class was so crowded for some reason and we were learning Algebra and I don't get a single thing.

Anyway, the bell rang and it was time for recess. I met up with Kak Za and we ate something made out of cornflakes that Kak Za made during her cooking class. We talked and ate and talked and awhile later Kak Ina join us. Then we continue talking and eating.

Not long after that the bell rang and we have to go to our classes. I got double English. For English class today, we proceed on doing the Revision Sheet for Red Dog. Since Miss Gray sat infront of me and Omar sat on my right, they chatted and for some reason they come to the point Omar said "Miss, you're too kind. You need to be stricter" Miss Gray chuckles (is that even the word?) and asked "Humaira, is it true? Am I not strict enough?" with a very big smile on her face.

I- being my awkward self, don't know what to reply. Cause like if I say 'Yes, you need to be stricter' I'm afraid she'll change drastically because I know she'll take this things seriously. And if I said 'No, you're strict enough' I'm afraid she'll think I think she's a burden? I don't know, I'm just awkward.

At almost the end of the lesson, Miss Gray decided to tell us a story for "brain break". She told us about her goldfish seems like dying blah blah when it's not even. That story is pretty good, but it's me who don't know how to 're-tell' it. So, err yeah. She's an amazing story teller.

Then the whole class (well, except me) want to share their "Goldfish Stories" and Miss Gray said we could do a "Goldfish Stories" session if we had a free time at the end of the class. But then we don't have enough time like dduh 7D had never have free times. So, Miss Gray just dismiss us to Art class.

During Art class, we proceed on painting our fairytale which took us forever and mine's sucks. Nothing much really happened. Well, except for that Allanah and Miss Springbett argue again and again like always until Allanah (and Sosek) got sent out of class and to the coordinator.

At near the end of the class we have to clean up the painting equipment, so everyone do it calmly and fast because we know we can get some free time. And we did! During the free time Allanah and Sosek came back and they argue again about how Allanah's moving so it doesn't matter.

Sosek literally cried which is sweet, and sad. But the boys keep bashing her like "She's crying for Snapchat!" and such. Sigh. I wonder. I wonder whether someone will cry for me too. Which is never.

The bell rang and it was Lunch time! I hangout with Kak Za and Melek at the corner around the H classes like we usually do. We ate the cornflakes thing again cause I can't be bothered to bring lunch or even buy anything.

A teacher came out of a class and said "One day I might stepped on you" with that tried-not-to-sound-annoyed-tone. I was like wth the school ain't even provide a canteen or anything for us to sit, where do you expect us to sit? Here! But then I was like hehh another week and I'm done.

After we finished eating, we went to the library like always. We came and and a Turkish teacher who once substitute me I think I've told you before, tap me on the shoulder. I was like "Hm?" and he said "Hey, I heard that you're going back to Malaysia" I was like "Yeah" but inside I was like "How the hell does he know he ain't even teach me or anything".

But then I thought maybe all of the teachers knew that from the Mr I told before. He then asked me a bunch of other questions like "Are you happy" and such like Mr Stewart asked me before. We then "break" the conversation if that's even the word and went to Kak Za and Melek to play UNO.

The bell rang after we played a couple sets of UNO and I have to go to Science class. We still got a Sub and she said Miss Savic gonna come after the exams, which means I can't see her anymore. We got a new Revision Sheet and I hurriedly finish it so I could have free time!! 

I got the rest of the period for "self-learning" and I realised I got spammed by Sarah! (my bæ in Malaysia not that Sarah from Roxy) I re-installed VPN and I gotta know it's SAIS last day. It's actually unfair since I still have a week of school.

Anyway, I go on Snapchat and stuff and Sosek, Allanah and me start Snapchatting each other eventhough they sat right infront of me. It was so fun and the class was so loud (not really because of us) we got respect minutes. We nearly got kept in but luckily we didn't! :)

92nd

Today I walked to school with Kak Za only because Kak Ina has her exams starting today, so she could  come to school late. I arrived at school, take my books in my locker, and went straight to IT class. Angel's already waiting outside the classroom, so I just come to her, said Hye and then it's awkward.

Mr Stewart came and open the door. We came in and said that he had prepared exams questions for us. So I just go on and answer them. While I was in the middle of answering those questions, Mr Stewart came to me and asked "Humaira. So, you're going back to Malaysia?" and stuffs like that.

I just answered yas and stuffs and he asked whether I'm happy or not, which is a question I can't even answer. He then left me so I could continue answer the questions. Then, Dilara, a girl who sit next to me over the aisle asked "Mr Stewart, when you went to Malaysia.. Did you got chasen by monkeys?"

Mr Stewart smiled and said "Did you got chasen by kangaroos in Australia?" And the whole class was like joined the conversation and tell Mr Stewart their experience of dealing with kangaroos. I mind my own bussiness and focus on my revision questions.

The bell rang and it was time for lunch. I went to Kak Za and Kak Za joined Melek. Which was very awkward because we don't usually spent recess with Melek. We sat infront of the Coordinators office we I insisted not to but she's so annoying and she force me to.

Betul (Melek's sister) come with her friend to sit with Melek but the sit is occupied by me and Kak Za and they have to find somewhere else. Whis was awkward and I felt kinda bad for them. Recess wasn't very long for sure, I ate a bar of chocolate and the bell rang.

I got double Art. Mr Matt wasn't here. He rarely come to class nowadays. Maybe because it's nearly the end of the year. We got a Sport teacher I've never met before. He brought us to another class and put on a movie for us. Our class, of course, was very loud. And he start telling us how bad our reputation are. He said that the teachers will complain everytime they have to sub 7D.

It makes me pretty sad but I don't think the other even care. For the second period, he brought us to the library after they convinced him and after he forced us to promise him to be slef directed. We sat at the library doing nothing. Me, Esin, Lylah and Larrissah just go on Urban Dictionary and search up our names and laugh all over it.

At one point Esin said she's hungry, and she made and excuse saying she need to change her books. I come with her because I'm bored and I really do need to take another book. On our way to our lockers, we saw Tony - the school counselor. And she said "Is that Tony? What a drainer" I was like smirk and said "What's a drainer?" and she explained it to me and stuffs.

We went to our lockers and I just put away the books I brought and don't even take another books. Esin took out a banana and ate it, so I just spent some time pretending to clean up my locker. We went back to the library again and continue on doing nothing until the bell rang.

The bell rang so we walked across the school to our class. I don't know what should I bring and Esin and I keep taking our books and returning it back we and ended up late to class. Turn out Miss Gray gave us some time to put our stuffs back at our locker.

The performance was a cycle of someone playing a piano and the other one sings. At one point a girl I think her name is Fina sings a song called "Turning Tables" or something. There was a phrase in the song goes like "I know it's hard to say goodbye" and someone shouted "It's okay??" and got sent out.

During a song I can't remember how it goes, Lylah wave her hands you know like during concerts you hold lights and waves it around? Whatever it was, Lylah did that and I nearly do it too. But Miss Gray was watching us with the death stare I was like "Lylah, Miss Gray's watching" and she stopped, and Miss Gray smiled. Why? I don't know why. 

Adam closed the "ceremony" with a thanks to Mr Ianni for buying a grand piano for the school, right before the bell rang. And of course, 7D got sent out the last. Anyway, lunch today was just like the typical days. I hangout with Kak Za and Melek, ate our lunch and went to the library.

The last period was French. We just did some revision sheets. Lucy showed us a video of Adna and Danica sit inside a locker. It was so asdfghjkl! I can't stop thinking about it ahha. And oh, I gave Adna a brooch or pin or whatever you call it, and she said "OMG thank you so much" and she keep admiring it and smile at me, ahha.

94th

Today I woke up at 450 from the annoying beeps of my alarm. I set it cause I thought on finishing reading Divergent, but then I remembered that we had a read to self time class tomorrow, so I saved the last pages for tomorrow. Besides, its too dark and I don't want to wake my sisters up.

I slept back again in my cozy comforter and woke up by the car engine of our neighbour. Which one, I'm not sure. I woke up, since I'm pretty sure I'll slept in if I didn't do so. Especially when I still have the flu. I woke up and brush my teeth, pray and went downstairs. I ate some Nasi Lemak. Never will I get bored of it. I felt kinda thirsty, so I drank some milk. Which is a mistake, cause my throat aches.

I went upstairs back again, took a long, steamy shower and get ready for school. I was kinda late, so I have to sprint. I made it just in time for French. Miss Matthews announced that we are having an assembly on the next period, which Miss Gray had told us a thousand times the weeks before.

French class today was kinda loud, which is unusual. And Miss Matthews have to do the shush shush thing that Miss Gray always did in our class, which is rare. We did some revision and soon later the bell rang. Indicates the second period and that we have to gather for the assembly.

I walked to the auditorium without bothering to put away my French books, since I've seen a couple of students got scolded because of it. I arrived at the Gym compund, where the Year 7s gathered. I walk to the place my class always gather and saw Esin. I gave her a hug, which is rare. Levent gave me an elbow - our type of knuckles. For some reason, it's as if everyone accept me. And I enjoyed it a lot.

I don't know what happened, but Adna fell over and Ceren tried to keep her from falling and Ceren accidentally stepped on my foot. She asked me whether she did, but I said she don't. This doesn't really matter, just to show how words can't explain how the situation was. I liked it.

Just after Ceren helped Adna to stand still again, Mr Mill called our class to enter the Auditorium pass the Gym. A couple of the girls told Mr Mill something, and for some reason Mr Mill laughed his face turns red. Which made me smile remembering I used to be that close to my teachers too. I miss them.

We walked to the Auditorium compound and Danica and Deyana passed us a sheet of paper before we enters the Auditorium. We climb the stairs and fill in the row, second last from the back. I sat in the middle of the row, with Esin by my left and Josef by my right. All of the classes came in and Miss Gray put her hands up, so we could pay our attention to her.

It was kinda weird, the feeling. The feeling when all of the Year 7s in the auditorium, the teachers, raises their hands. It's like that unity kind of feeling in the Hunger Games. Eventhough Miss Gray made us do this a hundred times in our class, it feels weird, it feels different.

I remember Miss Gray said "It's as if it was yesterday we held our first assembly. And most of you looked scared". I thought they were gonna laugh, like they usually do. But they kept in silence, like they felt it too. Even when they tried hard to hide it.. It's my opinion, though. I don't know.

Miss Gray explained about how the weeks going to be and informed us about an excursion after headstart. It doesn't really matter because I don't think I'm going, I don't think I wanna go. They gave us another copy of the exams time table which Danica and Deyana already gave us, the last few weeks calendar, and the the permission form for the excursion. The bell rang and we went outside for recess.

I spent recess with my sisters, eating our snack pack Ibu bought us. Share our stories like we always did, comment on some CCs, and spent our time like the world is ours. Okay, I exaggerated too much. Anyway, the bell rang and I know for sure, of course, I had Technology after.

I don't know why my heart is so heavy to go to Technology classes. It's not like I don't like to learn everything about it. Maybe because of the teacher? I don't know. I don't hate him. It's just my thought that bothers me too much.

I walked to our Technology class and found Angel already waiting outside the door. Weird, usually I'll come first. I pushed aside the useless thought in my head. We said hye to each other and it was that usual awkward silence we always had. The awkward silence we tried to deny by looking at the things around us. We spot Mr Stewart walking with a teacher, and they talked for ever until the bell rang.

A short boy I somehow adore his smile, came to us and whispered something to Angel, and Angel complained about how Mr Stewart took forever to open the door. Oh, they are close. A couple minutes later, Mr Stewart stopped talking with that teacher. He walked to us and opens the door.

We weren't doing any exam revisions, cause he said we're gonna check whether our new school address works. Mine doesn't work, so I have to reset my password. After I reset my password and a couple other student who have the same problem did it too, he said we have to compose an email and send it to the other member of Roxburgh College, since we can only send to them.

Mr Stewart came to me and taught me how to do it, eventhough I knew how to do it, I act dumb and followed his instructions. He asked me to send it to my sister, which sounds funny because it seems like every teacher knew that I always hangout with my sister. How they know that, I don't know.

After sending a couple emails to Angel, Esin, Lylah and my sisters, the bell rang and it was time for Maths. I walked to our classroom and Lylah joined me, but then she goes to someone else I don't even recognize. I reached to my class and saw Ben. I walked to him just because he's at the end of the line, and he said "Hye" which is very very rare. He never even look at me that often.

Later, Esin came so my focus was on her. The door waas finally opened by Mr McPhail but our class was arranged differently by the class before us. We spent sometime arrange it back to normal again and continue on our recent topic - Algebra.

Esin start saying she's a something I can't remember but she said "When I grow up I want to be a puppy" Then suddenly she said "No, I want to be a potato" I laughed and said "I would want to be a potato too" And she said "Then, we can be Potato Sisters!" And that's when we officially become "The Potato Sisters". I love her so much right now, as much as I love potatoes.

Miss Gray came 5 minutes before the bell goes, like she usually do. So, we moved to our so called "Learning Teams". We realised that half the class was gone. They had music, oh. The bell rang a minute later and half of the class walks in. I write down the Learning Intention and opened my book.

We had our last Spelling Test, and Omar literally copied me. I just let him, because if I dont, he's gonna copy me anyway. He gonna say "Wallah I don't copy you" which I know is a lie, so I don't want him to swear to God over something small and lie about it. We both got 10 over 10.

My throat aches, but I don't want to let out a cough. Since I know it will at least let out more than a cough. I tried to keep it in, until my eyes went all teary. I hold it in until I don't feel like coughing anymore. I wiped the tears of me and with the flu I had, Omar thought I was crying.

He asked "Are you okay?" and paused. And he asked again, "Why are you crying?" With that cold tone, I know that he don't care. I said it's nothing, but with the look he gave me, for some reason, it seems like he care. I don't know, I don't care. I wasn't even crying for real. Well, maybe a bit.

Awhile later, a Mr came to our classroom. I thought he was gonna call out the names of people who got detention, but he didn't. He didn't even say why. My name was first. Which doesn't bothers me. Accept for the fact that he calls me "Rozaiman" which never is my name. Everyone stares.

He called Josef next, then everyone calmed down. They're not in trouble, it's no big deal. He called a couple other students and asked us to come with him outside of the classroom, to the special pathway only teachers have access to use. It have red carpet everywhere and a large printer every per meter, I guess. The pathway was warmer than the classroom, maybe the heater's on.

The reason he called us was because of French. Ohhh. He said whether we want to change to Italian. I have no idea why. Why would they do that? They aren't many people in French class, what if only two or three people choose not to change to Italian?

Anyway, I told him I'm not gonna be here next year, and I asked him whether I should decide it too. But he couldn't answer me, since Farrah was so happy she screamed under her palms cupped to her mouth, and jumped as if there was a fire underneath her. And she accidentally pushed open a door of a class behind her because of her jump. So, that Mr asked everyone to go back to class, except me.

I asked him again, and he said "So, you're not gonna be here next year. Where are you moving to?" I answered "Back to my country". I don't think it's necessary to tell which country because it won't even matter, aye? But he asked me another question "So, where is it?" So I just answered "Malaysia". And he wrote "Malay" besides my name on the sheet he was holding.

She asked me whether I've told Miss Gray, and I said yes. And he finally let me go back in. Miss Gray smiled at me, I'm not sure why. They start doing their Exam Goals, so I tried to catch up. After listing down a couple ideas on Tips and Study Skills, Miss Gray gave us our Portfolio Tasks grades and checks our last homework task.

Omar passed my folder of Portfolio Tasks and I had a look. I got 4/5 for my English Portfolio Task and 4.5/5 for my Humanities. I have a look at Omar's and he got 3/5 for his English and 4/5 for his Humanities. Which kinda unfair. I tried my best and I got kinda the same as him? 

That's the disadvantage of being me, people always expect me to do the best, when I can't. Now I understand why Adna don't really show how smart she is. Anyway, Adna was so funny. She always the one who cheer the class with her funny reaction and opinion. I really hope I could do that too, when I know I can't.

Today Miss Gray said that our exams result won't matter to our interim report, and she said, "So, it doesn't matter if you're dumb?" And Miss Gray replied "Adna, please keep your opinion to yourself". Which kinda funny and I think Miss Gray kinda fed up with her already.

The other "incident" was that a bird flew to our class window and Adna said "Miss! There's a bird in our classroom!" And the bird flew. Everyone laughs cause the bird wasn't even in the classroom. I really miss the ability to talk without even worrying whether it'll matter to everyone else, like I used to. Sigh. 

The bell rang and it was time for lunch. I hangout with Kak Za, and Kak Za only. Because Melek wasn't here. We bought some dim sims and ate it in the middle of the yard. I asked Kak Za whether Miss Savic - I meant Mrs Redman came, because she told me she'll have Science before.

She said she wasn't here, and she got a substitute teacher. I hope she will not come tomorrow too. It's not that I don't like science, it's just that we have to do this Portfolio Task that we're not even sure that we have to do it, and she expected me to do the best poster ever. I know I can't so I hope she will not come so we don't even have to do it.

We drank some water and a couple minutes later the bell rang and it was time for the last period. We had Art. Nothing much really happened. We just finished up sketching and outlining our fairytale and paint it. I focused colouring my tinker bell too much my head felt like exploding. And still, the others artwork are better than mine.

Miss Springbett let us pack up early and when we finished packing up, we still have more than 5 minutes left. So, Miss Springbett gave us some free time. Some of the boys take risk by running away when the teacher's not looking. I nearly ran away too, but being a good student I am, I don't.

97th

Today I woke up with a sore throat and a flu, which is terrible. Maybe because the weather's changing, I don't know. Whatever it was, we went to school as usual. Not too late and not too early. Just nice, just the way I like it. Okay, stop exaggerating 😂

Anyways, I got Maths for the first period. We learnt a new topic called Algebra. I thought it's complicated when they don't even. New ability to solve a Maths problem, check! I sat next to Sonja and she asked me stuffs about Christmas and whether I celebrate it or not.

Suddenly she asked me this question I've heard a hundred times. "Humaira, don't you feel hot wearing that thing and long sleeves?" I was like "No" and she asked "How about your pants? What if it's burning outside? How do you stand the heat?" I was kinda hesitating to answer, since it's a matter of Islam. But then I answered, "I'd rather stand this heat rather than the Hell fire" 

This is the least I could do. I don't even know whether my prayers, my good deeds that aren't that much are accepted or not. So, being covered is the least I could do. Anyways, after Maths was English. Miss Gray came to school but she had a meeting or something she can't come our class.

We got a substitute teacher and rumours said he is Miss Gray's boyfriend. I don't belive it cause like "Seriously? He is Miss Gray's boyfriend? They doesn't suits at all!" Well, I can't just say they doesn't suits but yeah. Miss Gray left us a worksheet of Exam Revisions for us to do, which is to practice turning a writing into a script. No one even do that, well except for some people like me ;p And Esin.

The class was so havoc he got so mad like "7D! I'm getting upset in a minute! If you don't be quite and do your work, I'll put your name down and ask Miss Gray to take your tribute money!" Everyone laughed so hard (including me) eventhough he was like so mad.

And he was like "I'm serious!!" And everyone (well, not really) stopped laughing. Anyways, in English class, I sat next to Sonja again because the substitute teacher asked us to sit where we were in Maths class. And this time, she asked me what kind of festival I celebrate and how. And she asked "Do you celebrate that festival where you throw colourful powder and dance around?"

I was like "I guess Indian Malaysian celebrate that. But I don't, so I'm not sure". Then she said "When you're back in Malaysia, can we skype each other?" I was like "Why? I deleted Skype" And she was like "Because I accept you as one of my best friends. Can you install Skype for me?"

I was kinda felt appreciated. Because being a judgemental person I am, I think she's just a classmate of mine. When she thinks I'm one of her best friends. I realised that she's nice. She appreciate my presence. The only problem is she's too clingy and talk tou much. But everyone have their own weakness right? And I, I need to stop being too judgemental.

Our conversations got interrupted when the substitute teacher got mad back again, so we just continue doing our work. After English was Recess! I hangout with my sisters and honestly I can't remember what happened. The next period was Technology.

In Technology, we just continue on our Portfolio Task too. Which I've finished a long time ago. I got 4/5 for it. This story have nothing to do with this Portfolio Task kind of thing but I think Mr Stewart don't really like me. Because, when I finished a task first, he'll just be like "Well done, Humaira" But when someone else finished a STEP of the task, he'll compliment them like crazy to the whole class.

Anyways, I don't even wanna care about that anymore eventhough Kak Za said she thinks Mr Stewart doesn't like her too. After Technology was French. Miss Matthews hand in our Portfolio Tasks that she had graded. I've gone worser but not to the worst. I hope I got 5/5, ameen! BTW, for each section of the task, she'll give us Quick Notes and I got 2 bronzes in total x)

After French was Humanities and Miss Gray didn't come too. We got Miss Frances as our substitute teacher again. And we got an Exam Revision Worksheet again. The class for some reason was so loud and Miss Frances for some reason got so mad and not even calm like yesterday.

She nearly kept us in for Lunch time but luckily there was a class after us. During Lunch time I hangout with my Kak Za and Melek like yesterday. I went to the canteen and spent 5 dollars for a blueberry muffin and a salad wrap which is a total of RM15!

Anyways, after we finished eating through the awkward silence, we went to the Library. We played a set of UNO and I borrowed Divergent. The librarian was like "You have to return it by the 20th because of the exams nd stuffs" And I was like "Okayy"

Then she asked me about my name and homeroon and she asked "Are you a fast reader?" I was like "Err, not really" And she said "How long will you take to read this kind of book?" or something similar to that. And suddenly another librarian came and jumped in our conversation and said "I'm pretty sure she can manage to finish it by next week" and stuff.

And then they talked about how to manage reading the book and how they usually read books and how they will divide the book in sections to read and stuff and I just sat there waiting for my book to be passed to me. A couple minutes lter which seems like forever, finally they passed the book to me.

I played another couple of sets of UNO and suddenly a Mr I'm not sure whether he's a librarian too, cause sometimes I found him doing a yard duty but anyways I think his name is Mr Marco or something, he suddenly came to us and took my book and said to Melek "These girls never look at me" I was like 'pft what' in my heart and I looked at him. And he was like "She look at me! She smiled!"

Then he returned my book and go back continue doing his work. I was like 'what the..' haha. Such random. Anyways, after losing a game of Snap the bell rang and it was time for the last period which is Science! Miss Savic didn't come. I'm not sure whether I told you this or not, but she's getting married. 

Most people said she's getting married tomorrow on Saturday and some rumours said she got married yesterday. Anyways, doesn't really matter but she's gonna change her name next week! I felt so happy for her for no reason haha. Since she didn't come, we got a substitute teacher and she's Indian.

We have to continue doing the Exam Revision Worksheet Miss Savic left us yeasterday, but the substitute teacher is kinda strict but not really. So, most of us (them) just go on their iPad. I finished the worksheet so I show it to her. And she said I got a nice handwriting which really made my day.

She gave me a free time since Miss Savic haven't left anything else for us. Esin told her about the Portfolio Task we were supposed to do, then she let me do mine. I don't know what to do. Besides, no one even do it too, so I don't do it. I wanna go on Snapchat but I don't have VPN, so I just took selfies.

98th

Today I went to school pretty late. We nearly got locked outside of school, but luckily we didn't. I got double Maths, so I rushed to our classroom - J8. In Maths class we just continue doing our Portfolio Task. For some reason we don't know, Mr McPhail said he's not gonna be here in Period 2.

So in Period 2, we got Mr Laws as a substitute teacher. Everyone don't even respect him. Someone got kicked out of class and a couple other have to move away from their friends. In the middle of the class, suddenly Mr Ianni; the school principal came. Lylah (and me) thought we're in trouble but he just come and check if we're doing our work and then go somewhere else.  Like, what's even the point?

Anyways, after double Maths that had nothing really "memorable" happened, it was recess. I hangout with my sisters because I don't want to hangout with Sarah anymore. Besides, I don't even know where she was. We ate gingerbread cookies that Kak Za made in her cooking class and "observe" some of the students who walked pass us and tell stories and stuffs.

Time flies when you're having fun and finally it was time to go back to class. I got double English and then Art with Miss Springbett. In English, we did this Semester Reflection and MiPs Reflection, I guess? The Semester Selection is basically about reflecting on how we think we went through our semester.

The MiPs Reflection on the other hand, we have to answer questions about our year in Roxburgh College and turn it into a paragraph, I guess. There was this one question which goes like this; "Something I have forgiven myself for is.." and Imad said "You should say its when you shout at me".

I had so much trouble answering the questions cause for example they ask "What's your favourite moment in Year 7?" Like, what? There's like a hundred moments I want to treasure and almost everything is my favourite. And like when they ask what's your "Funniest moment in Year 7". I might make a post about it, so.. Stay reading! Haha.

Anyway, Miss Gray still haven't organized my bronzes to silvers which doesn't even matter to me. She said she don't even ate lunch yesterday. I feel bad for her. She's a very dedicated teacher and she had been working hard even to a work she's not committed to do it. Like - District 7D.

After English was Art. We have to continue doing our Portfolio Task. Having two teachers for a subject sucks. Miss Springbett teaches us on Mondays and Thursdays while Mr Matt teaches on Wednesdays. Miss Springbett usually taught us Theory while Mr Matt taught us like how to paint and stuff.

So, for some reason, they both give us a Portfolio Task which means we have two Portfolio Task for Art. I don't even finish my "Cups" painting with Mr Matt and now I have to sketch a fairytale with Miss Springbett. I don't care anymore. I'm not even good at Art. At least I tried my best, aye?

During Art today, they played something I'm not really sure about but it's like starting from A to Z they'll name a characteristic and they'll say who matches it the most from our class. It comes to Q and they said "Quiet" "Who's the most quiet girl in our class?" and of course everyone say its me.

It comes to "Loud". I don't even know how Q can come before L but anyways, they all say someone's name I don't pay attention to but then Farrah said "No! It's Humaira! Humaira's the loudest!" LOL. The thing is, I'm not that quiet. I just don't know what to talk about, that's it.

When finally the bell rang, Miss Springbett asked everyone to sit down quietly so that she could give the people who had been self-directed the most go out first. Then, everyone said "Humaira", as if I'm the one who should go out first. Me myself honestly don't think I should.

Miss Springbett finally calls out for Phillip, which doesn't matter to me, but everyone was like shocked or something because it wasn't me. I have no idea why they thought it's me. I know I'm a geek but why does it always have to be me? Esin's good too, Lylah's good too. Do I really look like a geek?

I spent Lunch with Kak Za and her friend Melek. We went to sit at our usual spot and eat another bag of Kak Za's gingerbread cookies. After we finished, we went to the library and played a couple sets of UNO ans Snap. I need to borrow a book for the Reading Homework but I forgot to bring a book or anything with my name on it. Besides, I don't know what kind of book I should borrow.

It was 2:25pm and it was time for the last period. I got Science. Miss Savic wasn't here. Preparing for her wedding, I guess. Miss Frances substitute us and they said she's the best teacher ever. I remember the first time I got Miss Frances as a substitute teacher. Wait - that was for Drama Class.

But anyways, the first time I got Miss Frances for a substitute teacher with my classmates, everyone was like screaming and ran away when they found out. I was like "What is this?" and then Ceren told me that they once got Miss Frances as a substitute for Sport and they go wagging and stuffs Miss Frances force them to write "I promise I will be self-directed in Sport class" the whole page.

But today they all High 5-ed and knuckle punched her and said she's the best teacher ever. Cute. Miss Frances said Miss Savic left us a worksheet of exam revision for us. Which means, we don't have to do our Portfolio Task? I have no idea. I hope Miss Savic isn't gonna come tomorrow too, so that we PROBS don't have to do it. Eventhough I have troubled myself to print the definitions and the nuts.

Miss I-can't-remember-what's-her-name-but-she-once-substituted-us came and turned on the air-conditioner. Haha I remembered how we got air-conditioners at our old school too, but the one in our class don't even work. And because it was the era we all go crazy for Marketland, we said its for "Luxury Points". Anyways, Science class was peaceful today, I have no idea why.

Maybe because of the heat that everyone was light-headed, maybe because of the cool breeze of the air-conditioner. But that's my awesome weird class. Sometimes we're a bunch of good students and most of the times we're (they're) just a bunch of monkeys. Oh I remembered once the class was so loud, someone who is very loud too said, "Miss, are you a zookeeper?" Haha.

Anyways, when our class was so quite and peaceful today, suddenly Mr Mill came. He was kinda shocked to see 7D in such a good behaviour doing our work. He was like, "Is this 7D?" with his mouth half open. And everyone was pleased, I guess. Even Miss Springbett. Miss Springbett was like "This is the best class. 7D is the best class" with a huge smile I have never seen on a teacher's face before.

Mr Mill was very impressed and he joked, "Owh, 7D! The best class! With Adna, Sosek, Omar.." while pointing to the most "trouble-maker" students. Haha, if it was in my old school, it probs gonna be my name. Anyways, Mr Mill then go back visiting other classes leaving us a motivational "Keep the hard work"

Soon later the bell rang and its finally time to go back home! The moment I get out from the class I could really feel the heat spiking through my face. I rushed back home and took a long, cold shower.

99th

Today I can't remember when I went to school. But anyways, we had two periods of Technology early in the morning. Mr Stewart wasn't here so we got a substitute teacher. At first we got this grumpy teacher I have never seen before, but then there's a misunderstanding or something we got this Indian teacher. She's very nice but everyone keep mimicking her accent. Like, that's racist!

She doesn't even bother to care anymore, I guess. I have done every task we're assigned to do so I just do a random collage that I don't even know what's the point of it. Angel said she needs to go to her locker, and she said if I could come with her. But the teacher doesn't give me the permission to.

I was like woah does she accept me as a good friend now? Instead of an-awkward-girl-who-sits-beside-me-in-Technology? Cause I'm very greatful for whatever she accept me as. Because the apportunity I've got to meet her, to meet everyone here, to even be here, had been the opportunity I'm grateful the most. 

Nothing much happened and later, it was time for recess. I hangout with Sarah. I can't really remember what happened too, maybe because recess wasn't that long. I don't know. Then I had double Art with Mr Matt. We did a sketch of a mug and we have to paint it as our Portfolio Task. Our class was so loud arguing about how did Michael Jackson die, Mr Matt nearly gonna kept us in during lunch.

But he said if we clean up on time without anyone got paint on their face and cloth like usual, each table must be spotless - he's not gonna keep us in. For some reason, everyone cooperates until the classroom was all clean, except that some people still got paint on their clothes - including me.

We cleaned up pretty fast that we got 10 minutes of free time. Mr Matt let us go on our iPad. Sadly, I don't have VPN anymore so I can't use any of those app which are blocked by VPN. So I just took some selfies and spent sometime daydreaming.

After that, we got Humanities. Miss Gray said it was basically just a catch up session so I just continue doing my English Portfolio Task excellent copy. Miss Gray asked Josef to fill in my bronzes (from the quick notes I gave her yesterday) and I literally took all of Miss Gray's stock of bronzes.

Omar keep insisting me to shout, which I don't want to cause then they all will think I'm a monster that can't keep her temper. Anyways, I can't really remember what we did, then it was lunch. I hangout with Sarah. But I don't know. I don't know whether I should keep hangout with her because sorry to bad mouthing her but she always talk about suspension, trouble and I-hate-that-girl.

I don't know, cause like she always be like "I used to be friends with her but now we hate each other". It make me thought, why and is it gonna be to us too? Cause she once said "I hate  ----" but then she act like best friends with ----. She said she don't like it when call her two-faced but she is! Sorry.

And now I feel guilty. What should I do? Should I tell her? But I still want to be friends with her. Should I hide it from her? But then I'm gonna be a two-faced friend. I don't know what to do :( I'll try asking this on Yahoo! Answers and find out. Or anyone who read this, answer me please? :(

Anyways, during lunch today I hangout with Sarah and a couple more covered girls. It's actually kinda embarrassing that they swear and stuff and with other people watching us.. Where's our dignity?! And you know how multicultural our school is, at one moment they talked in Arabic and the school counsellor, which is an Australian said "La'a Arabic! Speak in English!"

You know how "La'a" means "No"? Yeah. Just so you know, if you don't know. Anyways I don't think I have anything to talk about during lunch anymore, except for the fact that the canteen put too much colour in their slurpees they turn everyone's mouth blue. So, the last period was French. Nothing much happened too, because we just do some test and yeah. But oh! That one thing happened.

We were waiting for Ms Matthews and for some reason it took her forever. So this one girl start complaining and stuff but then this one boy "defends" Ms Matthews. Like for the first time in forever I heard anyone in this school backing up a teacher.
