chapter 12
12 – Middle School
“Okay – finally the midterm exam report card you guys have been waiting for has come out. Come out from number 1 and get the report card!
Now, number one! Ki Tae Kang! No.2! Baeseong Kang!”
Then the homeroom teacher called my name, so it was my turn to come out and receive my report card.
The report card for the first midterm exam in the 3rd year of middle school. It’s embarrassing to say with my own mouth, but I tried. I really tried.
I have never looked into a textbook before, so I hope I get good results because I sat at my desk and studied for the first time.
“Since Yoo Sun works hard, he will be able to achieve better results in the future”
“Thank you!”
Should I say that the homeroom teacher’s expression, at first thinking, “I’m getting tired from taking on a troubled child” Has also turned sour.
The look on my face turned round and round, and it seemed that he liked me more than it looked.
I sat down and looked at my report card. There are 40 people in my class, and among them, my grades… No more, no less, just 26th place. To be honest, it’s not that high of a score.
Still, it’s true that it’s definitely improved compared to before, when counting from the back was so low that it was fast.
Besides, the meister high school entrance exam focuses on national, English, and math, so science and social studies. And I don’t see any artistic skills.
I didn’t look at anything and poured all my time into three subjects, so my test scores were concentrated in those three subjects.
If only the national, English, and math grades were measured separately, excluding grades such as arts and sports, social studies, and science.
“……”
I returned to my seat and looked at my report card in silence.
It was very difficult to study. Really, really
For now, I don’t know anything.
I only know how to read Korean, I only really know A, B, and C in English, and I only know addition and subtraction in math. Frankly, it was daunting.
Schools teach the 3rd grade curriculum, but you can’t follow the curriculum without knowing anything about it.
So, I didn’t know what to do about this part, but that… Yoojung is preparing for the middle school GED.
With the GED book Yoo-jung was looking at, she went to the library and listened to online lectures on a computer,
If there was something I didn’t know, I asked Yoojung and studied together, so to some extent I was able to set the direction of what to do.
She always thought that when she saw Yoo-jung at the facility, she was just rolling around.
She knows a lot more than I do, so I think that being able to get help from Yoo-jung whenever there was something she didn’t know was the biggest help in improving her grades.
Besides… I didn’t go to the library alone to study, maybe it was because I studied with Yoojung… I think I was able to concentrate a little more.
…Really, I should buy Yoojung something delicious later.
Before the final exams come, go through the workbook from start to finish. If there are any mistakes, please try again and solve it.
Occasionally, there are people who come to the nursery school to donate workbooks, but luckily this time, the workbooks for the 3rd course of middle school. It was also possible to receive a new workbook that had never been solved, and that could be of great help in studying.
I should go and study social studies and science. It’s better to have high grades rather than too skewed grades in Korean, English, and math.
Although they say they don’t reflect on their grades, teachers in other subjects get upset if they focus too much on Korean, English, and math.
Also- Social studies and science are subjects that are useful once you learn them.
I thought the results would not come out well, but unexpectedly, I worked hard with the determination to die, so the feeling of my grades going up is good.
I think I have evolved into a better person.
Mathematics and English are also important…
This time, I got a good grade because all the shots were correct by luck.
Mathematics and English are both subjects that need to be polished from the basics to shine later… I had to pay more attention.
Since I don’t have a foundation, I’m doing it in my own way, but there is a limit to memorizing the solution method by looking at the problem book, asking Yu-jeong, and looking at the answer sheet.
There are still many things I don’t understand. Because there was a limit to doing this. Is there any way to go about this part..?
2)
“…For this problem, you can use this formula. Then, the problem will solve itself naturally.
Although creativity and understanding are important in the subject of mathematics itself. In order to apply it properly, the basic formulas are memorized in the head,
When you can freely take it out and use it – this problem becomes yours. Do you understand…?”
“…Ah, that’s right”
Coming to think of it, math was my homeroom subject, so I was able to get some help.
It was fortunate that the 3rd grade homeroom teacher seemed to think positively of me, unlike the previous homeroom teachers.
Well, I won’t even argue over troublesome things. I don’t think I’m experiencing any difficulties just because I came from an orphanage. In moderation, I like the way you treat me like other kids.
“Okay~ If you have any other questions, ask me”
“Yes! Let’s go”
It was good to stop by the teachers’ office before going home.
I have to go to the nursery school and see it one more time. Before that, I need to take a walk outside with Yoojung, go to the park to do iron bars, and go for a run.
Then another day will pass. Day after day, it goes around monotonously like a squirrel’s treadmill, but I don’t hate it.
Rather, because my daily life went on like that, the time went well, and I felt like I was having a very fruitful time.
…My stomach hurts.
There was no one in the class, probably because the ceremony was over. Today, I’m on my weekly shift, so I think it’s okay to stop by the bathroom before locking the classroom door.
My stomach hurts a lot these days because I have a regular life of eating, studying, exercising, and sleeping…
I’m a bit embarrassed to use the bathroom when there are a lot of people, but fortunately it’s dismissal time, so I’m glad I can use the bathroom without paying attention.
2)
I did my errands with a light heart, and then… I was about to go outside when I heard a voice outside.
“Hey, did you see the kids running in gym class today…?”
I heard a familiar voice. Same class boy What did you do when you didn’t go home?
…Hmm, come to think of it, today’s physical fitness test, so that’s what I do. I was running
Maybe it’s because I usually work out with Yoojung, I was able to get the highest grade in this fitness test.
Actually, well… Ever since I was in elementary school, I really liked using my body, so I always got perfect marks for physical education.
“Wow… That Jin-ah Lee is really cute. Her clothes are so thin that the milk carton shakes.”
“That’s why I like summer. When I run, my clothes stick to my sweat, and then… I can see the color of my underwear, so it’s hard to get up.”
“Hey, what the f*ck, is that why you ran so f*cking erratically…? …Crazy bastard”
Usually, whenever they had a chance, they were hovering around Jin-ah like artificial satellites, so I guess they were thinking like that.
This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing. Well… You’re probably saying that because there’s no one there!
It’s a little vulgar to say that it’s a milk container or underwear. Will Yoo-jung hear that kind of sound if she goes outside?
I would feel bad if something like that was said about Yujeong.
By the way, I want to go outside, but it’s a bit awkward to go out because they’re talking like that.
Why… No one thinks they’re there and they’re talking like that, but it’s weird when I suddenly appear out of nowhere.
“…You don’t have a damn boyfriend..?
“I tried to hang out with you, but it didn’t work out. Since you have a boyfriend, don’t you think we don’t hang out together…? To be honest, you look so cute. There’s no way you don’t have a boyfriend.”
“Hey, you bastard don’t know what to do. Hey… Originally, there are many boyfriends who are halfway pretty. Really pretty kids don’t get a boyfriend. Why..? I thought that there would be a boyfriend just like you. Because I think!
The men are afraid to go. Usually those who look like that are virgins. Originally, those guys don’t have experience with men, so even if you treat them just a little bit well, they’ll just goof around.
And then, when the atmosphere is a bit burnt out, what if you babble a little from the side?
No. No. While doing that… Spread your legs, give your body, and give your mind.
hahahaha… sh*t, I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything if I take him to karaoke just once… I really can’t get the angle. Dog b*tch acting so f*cking expensive, used to be a f*cking b*tch.
If I knew how to make a rice cake like this, I would have done some work. Ha- the blood is flowing again. I love you, f*ck you”
“Hey, isn’t that enough to have a boyfriend…? No, I was in the same class as him in the 2nd year of middle school, but he sticks to Yu-seon Kang and talks all the time.”
“Hey, f*ck Yoo-seon Kang, you idiot. That idiot is just an idiot. He doesn’t know anything.
Hey, while we were talking, I thought of that bastard Kang Yoo-seon during one of those things…”
– Knocked up.
“Hey”
“…”
I went to bed early, ate a lot, and moved a lot, so now that I am in my third year of middle school, my height is over 180. I also weigh 77 kg.
A guy this big has a pretty strong physique even by adult standards, but if you think that a kid like that suddenly strides forward, you’re usually scared of a dog.
Since it’s ridiculous, I didn’t pick a fight with them- why… Why is he talking about me as an idiot or something…?
It is not once or twice that he has the skill of chewing and biting others. I don’t know if you don’t know it, but I’m already an asshole behind me, so it seems like I’m chewing on my boredom like peanuts.
I really hate going up and down someone else’s cubicle without me knowing.
You need to correct this as soon as you see it.
– Pair…!
I didn’t hit it lightly or hit it hard, but my glasses fly to the bathroom floor.
“I’m dumbfounded”
“…”
“Say it again”
“…”
“Hey, do I look like a f*cking idiot?”
“…”
“Why don’t you talk”
“…”
Before, I was chattering like I had a motor in my mouth, so why am I suddenly mute?
He hits the toilet seat with his fist. It’s because the inside is empty. Even if I touched you lightly
– Kung!
The bathroom all rang.
“Hee-hee…”
“Wherever you go, don’t go around swearing at other kids”
These are funny bastards. Really.
I washed my hands, left the bathroom, and returned to my class.
“…”
Someone is standing in front of the classroom. Brown hair. Jina did not go home and she remained at school.
My eyes are red. Jina looked at me and she said nothing.
Jin-ah does she know that the milk container is shaken among the boys without her knowledge, and her underwear is reflected..?
I pondered for a moment. …. I just kept my mouth shut.
Sometimes not knowing is medicine.
And also, I gave the kids a warning earlier. It will be less severe than before.
“Hey, Yoo Seonah”
“Why”
“…It’s nothing..!”
