Third person’s point of view

Twelve-year-old Avery smirked when she finally made it out of the classroom. Going home as usual, she will go straight to Macmac’s classroom.

They have been like this for almost a year now—she who always tails the man and Macmac who always stumbles over that thing has always been their situation.

Avery doesn’t seem to mind it. For her, that is more challenging. For the rest of her life, she would laugh at the man’s nervousness every time he saw her approaching.

“What is a grade seven student doing here?” said Jac, when he saw his sister who was constantly wandering on the floor of grade ten students like him.

He already knew his sister’s intentions. He quickly turned to Cormac, who was still busy copying what was written on the board there. Their teacher did not attend the last subject, but still left a lot of work to do.
