51 Lessons From Love

Lesson 1: Love Arrives No Time

For a highschool student like me, they call the infatuated feelings we felt for others, a Puppy Love.

I wonder what a Real Love looks like. What does it felt like?

I'm pretty sure that most of the kids around my age also thought about this questions. They said that at this age of people's life is the time were many people were caught by their own curiosity.

I guess, It's my own curiosity. I'm so curious about what true love is.

"Hey Zen, let me copy your Assignment!!"

The boy who sits in my back seat called me while holding his English notebook.

"Eh, What should I?", I asked him sarcastically while raising one of my eyebrow.

"Tsk. You're really something", he sighed. "Your lunch later is on me, is that alright?"

"That's it. You really know me, Ming", I grinned and handed him my English assignment.

Ming clicked his tongue and suddenly move closer to me, ready to ask me another thing again.

"Oh right, I heard that we will have a new English Teacher in replace for Mrs. Lin whose going to transfer in another school."

"A new teacher? I haven't heard of that". No one informed me about this new teacher. I wonder what is she like? I wish she is an easygoing and kind like teacher Lin who always tells a story about her love life during her class.

"I heard, the new teacher is young and has no experience in teaching in highschool. He's a newbie teacher", Ming added.

"I guess that would be better. That means she will go easy on us."

"But being a newbie teacher doesn't mean he's not going to be strict. I heard from the students in other class that he's really scary."

"Eh..", I sighed. "Let's just see".

The school bell rang after that. As a sign of the start of the Morning class. Students run back their own seats and started to fix their self to look more presentable.

Our first subject is the Chemistry class, next will be Math class, then English for the last subject before lunch.

The time just passed by swiftly like how I didn't noticed the time in every classes. I'm just looking outside the window, feeling listless as usual, but I never realized that it's already the time for our last class, the English subject.

After our Math teacher walked out in our classroom, a young tall man with a square-framed glasses walked in.

He must be our English teacher. Just then I realized that the our new English teacher is not a "she" but a "he".

My classmates were stunned by his appearance and our classroom was dominated by his presence.

"He's quite good looking", Ming whispered on my back. "But of course, I'm much more handsome."

I stared at that man in the front of the whole class intently. I suddenly felt like he's a very familiar person. Maybe someone I knew before.

Why do I suddenly become so tense...

"Good Morning Class..."

That voice, it sounds also so familiar.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm your new English teacher, My name's Jade Dan. You guys can call me Mr. Dan", the man said with his straight face.

J-Jade Dan!?

So that's why he's so familiar. He's my brother's best friend!!
