Was he surprised? Yeah, a little. He was a little surprised that Aiden got it right again, that was confirmation that he knew what he was doing...that was confirmation that the last equation he got right wasn't a mistake or due to luck.
..The young 7 years old boy actually knows what he was doing.
The surprise turned to amusement for the teacher at that moment.
"Nice job". The man uttered to Aiden and moved to the next student.
Aiden just sat there with an elated heart and a bit of smirk on his face. He got the equation right again, he noticed the amused and surprised expression on the man's face.
..If only the man knew how easy the equation was for him to solve.
The man checked out the works of the other students in the class. And by now, he was standing in front of the classroom...he was done checking out all their work.
And the case was the same, the people that got the equation right were more many than the people that failed it. And at that moment, the man's voice resounded,
"After going round the whole class checking out you guys' works, I noticed something. The people that got the equation right this time were more many than the people that failed it...that wasn't how it was the last time I gave you guys an equation to solve,
That made my heart glad, that shows that more people had learned to solve this equation right. As for you guys that haven't learned to solve it, I'm not going back to it in my next class, I'm done with it. In our next class, we'll be moving to another topic,
You can ask your classmates that have learned to solve this equation properly to teach you so you can become good at solving it as well. Bye".

Would they follow the instruction to ask their classmates who got the equation right to teach them? The ones that failed the equation? No. Instead, they had already started putting their books and reed pens back into their bags...
..They were itching to resume their conversations once again, both males and females.
Aiden almost laughed at that moment, look at the people the maths teacher told to ask their classmates to teach them how to solve the equation right...they were already putting their books and reed pens into their bags.
If anyone approached him wanting him to teach him or her how to solve the equation, he was fully ready to teach the person. But it doesn't seem like anyone would approach him...it doesn't seem like they were interested in learning how to solve the equation.
He put his book and reed pen into his bag, then another teacher stepped foot into their classroom...a female. Now, some students were already itching to resume their conversations, but another teacher had stepped foot into their classroom...everything had spoilt.
Everyone had to stay in their seats, no standing up. This was a teacher Aiden hadn't seen before, and the subject she teaches was Food and Nutrition. When Aiden got to know the subject she teaches, a smile appeared on his face.
And this was the thought that ran through his mind right after,
'I eat any good food that comes my way, as far as it is delicious and well prepared. I don't really care about nutrition, you know, balanced diet'.
..But wasn't he supposed to care about that?
All the teachers that stepped foot into this classroom noticed, Aiden, they noticed that he was new to this class...they weren't familiar with him. And he had to introduce himself to them causing them to find out about his age and his dad being an average-ranked chief.
But this teacher didn't notice him, she just kept teaching, seems like she didn't really care about noticing new students in a classroom. This was the first time Aiden was seeing her step foot into this classroom since he joined this class.
But definitely, she must have been entering this class for some time now to teach the students. But since she entered this class today and didn't notice that a new student was in it, then she doesn't care about noticing new students in a classroom...
..Everyone was different with different personalities.
And Aiden even liked it 'cause the moment she notices him, he'll have to introduce himself to her. Then when she finds out about his age, she'll be like, 'You are starting late'. You know, that same reaction.
Then she'll find out about his dad being an average-ranked chief, and there might be a reaction to that as well. He doesn't want that, he just wants to sit here and listen to her teachings, he wanted to gain knowledge if there was any one to gain at all.
And as she was teaching, he came to notice that he was enjoying it...he loved her style of teaching. Yeah, everything she said was basic things he knew, simple knowledge...but he still enjoyed her teaching.
As she taught, she wrote some things on the board she brought along. Then she instructed them to bring out their books and reed pens and jot down the things she was writing down...and so they began doing.
Aiden brought out his book and reed pen and jotted down the things she said they should jot down. She did some more talking, and right now, she was done teaching, it was about time to evacuate their classroom.
"We'll meet in our next class". She uttered before taking off her board where she hung it and sauntered out of their classroom.
After her, one more teacher entered their classroom to teach them, it was male. After him, no one else stepped foot into their classroom. And not long after, the bell rang to signify that it was break time, time for everyone to eat.
People began standing up from their chairs and strolling out of the classroom. It was time to eat, it's better they leave the classroom now and go find a good spot to sit at the cafeteria.
Aiden had already stood up from his chair when he sighted Oliver and Ava strolling toward him, and a smile appeared on his face at that moment. Look at how the both of them were walking so close to each other while heading toward, Aiden
..They were definitely friends now, Aiden couldn't be more convinced.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat he wanted to know now was how it happened...how did they become this close? He was the one that set it up, this was what he was hoping for, and it's happened. But he wanted to know details of how it happened.
And he was gonna find out. He'll ask Oliver at the right time. Ava and Oliver reached where he was standing, then Oliver uttered to him,
"Let's go eat".
"Sure". Aiden let out.
"Are you with money there? Are you with copper coins? 'Cause without them, forget about eating". Oliver voiced out once again.
"Yes, I'm with some copper coins, this is something I wouldn't easily forget".
"Okay then, let's move". Ava uttered with a bit of smile on her face.
And at that moment, the three of them began strolling out of the classroom. They walked out of the classroom and began walking in the corridor until they got to the staircase and began dismounting it. They dismounted all the staircases until they got to the compound and began strolling on it.
People were strolling into the cafeteria, and that's where the three of them were heading right now. They entered the cafeteria, dropped the needed coins, then found their way to a certain table with vacant chairs around it.
Ava, Oliver, and Aiden were sitting round the table...they had gotten really close, they were friends. At that moment, this was the thought that ran through Aiden's mind,
'Wouldn't she try to make friends with other girls in this school? Instead, she chose to be friends with two boys? Isn't that somehow?'.
Well, that was her choice. What Aiden wanted to know was how Oliver and Ava became this close, how did they start communicating like this? He still wanted to know this, and he was gonna ask Oliver at the right time.
As usual, the cooks began serving the teachers first before the students. By now, all the teachers and students had already been served round by the cooks. Within minutes, some teachers were already done eating as they began walking out of the cafeteria.
No students were walking out of the cafeteria yet, only teachers.
..They were served first, so that's to be expected.
Currently, Aiden, Ava, and Oliver were almost done emptying their plates...and Aiden was eating and finding way to glance at the both of them without them knowing.
