I finally got to class, and we were having the subject English Language.
"Good afternoon ma'am" I greeted Mrs Cassandra
"Have a sit dear." She smiled at me as she responded
"Today we'll be learning argumentative essay and I'll be chosing a topic just like I said last week" She turned back to the class as she announced
I knew we were obviously going practical, so I was prepared mainly targeting the one and only not so cool Xavier. I packed my silk waist length brown hair into a ponytail, ready for a literal war.
"Our topic will be Poems are better than Drama, now I need the proposing and opposing team" Mrs Cassandra explained.
Every debate we ever did in our class has always been between two people. Then the next two and so on, we're not really of a team, so that people don't hide under the cover of a team and earn other's hard earned points.
"I propose" I raised my hands up for recognition waiting for my rival. Then I heard a hot voice from behind "I oppose"
I looked back only to realize that the person was none other than Xavier. I took my complements back, there's no way he's hot 😤.
We had been debating and arguing for over 20 minutes and there was no winner, not until the argument came out of context.
"Poems are not better than drama, in the same way you're not better than–" Xavier was trying to explain something I didn't care to hear, thinking of possibilities of what he meant to say –maybe I'm not better than him or than someone else, did he have to belittle me– then I cut him off out of anger.
"I oppose your motion, Poems are better than drama because they are majorly concised and written in stanzas, usually not as long as drama, I can't really blame your opposition since you need plenty words to understand just one phrase" I acted up
"You should support drama more, you know. You're literally acting one right now" Xavier replied me his voice calm as ever which angered me more than anything.
I'm dramatic but I can't let him win "I'm not dramatic, I didn't cause any scene" I rolled my eyes, I know I'm actually dramatic so I couldn't argue so much but his reply made me want to strangle him
"Do you really have to be cranky about the whole argument" he said making me seem like I was the only one talking rubbish so I just flipped my hair and told him
"I'm not cranky. it's just an allergic reaction I have towards stupid people"
The whole class where like "Damn, whoo" and all other funny noises. Xavier was about to say something, but Mrs Cassandra butted in "enough with the arguments, you don't have to take it too personal"
Some minutes later, the class finally ended and she was about to leave the class when she called out "Miss Kim and Mr Smith follow me to the principals office" I and Xavier looked at each other and yup we knew we were doomed. I kept mumbling" I hope it's not something about the verbal fight, my reputation 🥲"
