-Baekhyun-

Our school usually starts by winter. But for some private maintenance, it started by spring. It was a long vacation and how I wish it never ended.

I saw the same faces I used to see last school year.

Today feels like it's going to be a typical start of Year 12.

The only thing I like about being a Year 12, is the fact that you're now a senior. And by that, I mean everyone shows respect to you.

"Sunbae!" Speaking of being a senior, here comes my juniors running in their sports uniform. "Sunbae, welcome! How's your holidays?" I smiled and talked to them for a bit, and made my way to the hall for as soon as I heard the ringing bell. I don't want to be late for the assembly, I'm in Year 12 now. I need to be serious all the way.

Students came rushing and bumping side to side, carrying their heavy bags as they heard the horrifying blaring loud bell of our school. The sound of our school bell reminds me of The Purge's Siren. Scary. Spine-chilling. Makes people go crazy. Mixed emotions and you name it.

I expected a little bit of fun inside the hall. Unfortunately, my expectations were threw on the bin immediately after entering the main hall.

"Welcome, Year 12s." What's up with the serious expression? I looked around. I couldn't see a single smiling face. "Today, we're here to welcome each other warmly for coming back to school!" I sat down beside someone I knew. Should I wear a poker face just like everyone elses? I have to cope up with the situation real quick "And new announcements."

Alrighty, poker face. Easy. Just relax, no laughing nor smiling. Don't think of anything else, just straight ahead. Keep your lips and jaw locked together with fixed eyebrows on. How long do I have to keep this on? This is suffocating.

"Don't even bother trying it," without blinking and with one solid poker face on, Sehun whispered to me as he tries to concentrate, "you look like you're about to take a shit." I give up. What should I do? I'm the opposite of him. I don't usually wear poker faces like he does everyday. Literally EVERDAY.

"Shut up, Oh Sehun."

"Year 12s, we have big expectations on you." This is it. The end of my life. The end of the tunnel. It's dead end to us now. "However, don't pressure yourselves yet." Yet? Now that sounds even scarier. A sinister was slightly shown on Mr. Principal's face. Why do I feel like he's planning something so evil?

But then, our attention were divided when Mr. Vice Principal butted in. "A new teacher arrived today," Great, a new teacher. What's new? Of course, we do always have new teachers because they couldn't keep up here. "please welcome Mr. Park Chanyeol." We all turned our heads to his direction. A bright smile from him burned my eyes. To my surprise, he looks too young to be a teacher. I bet he's only in his early 20s.

Mr. Park, aye.

Looking from head to toe, I can judge that he is sort of a tidy type of person. He looks like he just graduated from college and entered our school to teach us. Oh, well that's pretty obvious from him.

"Apparently, Mr. Park is planning on retirement." I see, why. I also think he's getting too old to teach highschoolers. We hate him, but I still feel a little bit of sympathy over him. I wanna dance and celebrate his retirement from school. He's finally resting and leaving the school! How exciting! "He submitted his form of leave on the holidays." This is pure joy that I'm feeling right now. I see, kids worn off their poker faces. They must be feeling the same way as I am right now!

"Mutual feeling." Sehun whispered, still preserving his poker face. I sneered. If I were a dog, my tail would be worn off from too much waggling and excitement.

"And his son Mr. Park Chanyeol is substituting him." Am I hearing right? Or I need to get my ears check? I should get an appointment to my doctor.

Everything's not sinking in my mind, so are the people around me froze.

Son?! This is not happening. I couldn't believe my ears. I'm dead meat. Little did I know, I was unbelievably staring at him for more than 5 minutes.

Son?! Oh, no. A carbon copy of Mr. Park. You gotta be shitting me right now. I was leaping from joy and was about to cry tears of joy, because Mr. Park is leaving the school. But then, his SON?!

I bet he's gonna be the Mr. Park version 0.2.

Hopefully not.

My eyes were about to pop out from unbelievably staring at him. I might as well do the staring challenge with him. This is making me go crazy.

Mr. Park gave me a C last year in chemistry and physics, even though I was doing so well. I guess he hates me that much to give me out a C for the whole two semesters.

But, what can I do? He's the teacher, he gives the grades, so he's the boss.

I bet this Mr. Park Chanyeol will get the right-hand again. Just like his father.

I can't fail any of my science related electives. This is Year 12. If I slack off again, this will be the end of me.
