The next day me and my husband was eating breakfast with our kids when a message popped up. I thought it was normal text.
But wrong…It was from Avaya saying that her classroom has changed and she is in classroom B. I who was drinking my water spat it out second, I saw the text. My husband who was concerned about me said
"Are you okay?"
I nodded still looking at phone.
Max who was sitting next to me leaned and read the message. Theo who was also trying to see the text asked Max
"teddy bear, what is written in that?"
Max who actually can read most of the things said
"It said that auntie Avaya has changed to classroom B."
Theo who grabbed the situation said
"Well, then we should let it be."
Thea looked confused and said
"What is the problem with that?"
Noah who was clearly acting like he knew everything said
"Well, well. Let's see. It is because auntie Avaya has the candy mom wants but because she is in another classroom mom can't get, right?"
My husband just played along and said
"Yes, yes. That's right. You are so smart. My strawberry jellyfish."
Max who actually knew that it was not about it said
"Noah you fool. Mom doesn't need candy."
Noah, max and Thea turned to me. I who also doesn't want to upset them said
"Noah is right."
Noah like he won some award or something stud up in table and said
"See Thea, your brother is the best!!"
Thea clapped and said
"My brother is the best!!"
Max just sighed. I who was worried that something may happen to Noah said
"Strawberry jellyfish, be careful."
Noah took my advice and came down. After that three of them finished their breakfast peacefully. They washed their hands and got out to play in the front yard.
I was still stunned even then because Avaya's classroom changed that suddenly could actually cause problem. Ariana is not someone to take lightly off.
She would start a gang war even if there is no need. I still remember the time when Ariana was in classroom B with me. She was having a very bad policy that I would sit with her everyday morning in bus. That day I refused and sat with my husband who was actually having a slight cold. At that time no one knew that I was married to my husband. When we were in the classroom she walked up to me and shouted enough that the next classroom can hear
"Why did you sit with him?? I HATE YOU!!"
I tried to calm her down but she kept pestering. Let speak the truth, she was jealous first of all. Secondly, she has a bad relationship with my husband. She doesn't like my husband. She even told me to divorce him when she found out that I was married to him. At that time, I felt humiliated and embarrassed. She said that in front of everyone. My husband was also there. Even though I later asked him if he was okay, he just gave a 'I'm fine' but I know that he was hurt. Ariana will just want someone that she can hate. She would pester that person to the most, that person would feel the unluckiest person in the world. Avaya gone means that her new target would be me. Just like last year. I sighed and was washing the plates when Theo hugged me from behind
"Are you okay? Avaya gone means Ariana will pester you, right?"
I silently gave a nodded. He kissed me on the ears and said
"I was not knowing that you love Avaya more than me."
I put that plate down and turned around. I kissed him and said
"No worries. I'm just a little exhausted from this Ariana-Avaya drama, you know. Both of them would let me be at any cost."
He kissed me back and said
"I will be with you."
I smiled and continued to wash dishes.
It was evening when I was sitting in my study. I stared at my phone for a long moment before I called Avaya. She picked it up and said
"Hello!? What's up sis??"
I sighed and asked
"Is it true that you have a change of class?"
She let out a Hmm from other end and started her long chattering
"Well, well. I was surprised that I have a change of classroom but when I asked Magilath mam she said that it is because there are too many people in classroom A. Sorry that I am not able to be with you. But hay!! Your husband is with you, isn't it??"
I sighed and said
"My husband is with me okay. But the fact that pester me the most is that I have to deal with Ariana and Keth myself. You know they are annoying."
Avaya chuckled and said
"Well, that Bitch is really annoying but you know you can just complain to homeroom teacher. By the way you got to know that your homeroom teacher is sir Jack, right?"
She changed the subject like that. I played along and said
"Yes. I know. It is the first time learning from him. I heard that Classroom B has Natali mam. Congratulations"
"Thank you, Thank you."
She spoke. We were silent for a moment before she said
"It is April 1, right? Happy April fools' day."
I glance at calendar and said
"Yeah, yeah Happy April fools' day."
"It seems that you don't catch it. My classroom changing is a joke."
She spoke.
At that moment I said each curse word I had ever learned
"You!! What the fucking bloody shit joke was that? You almost had me a damn depression because of that bitch Ariana!!"
My husband who was in the next room rushed into my study and asked
"What happen?"
I just gave him a smiled. While Avaya was laughing like crazy on another end. I after getting calm asked her
"Did Diana know about this?"
"Well, she hadn't read that message yet."
Avaya answered. I just said
"See you tomorrow"
Thing and cut the line.
When My husband asked me what happen again. I just said
"Well, I don't have to deal with Ariana alone."
