The week got finished very soon, it's the weekend and the only thing I have to do is my homework. To be honest, I could care less about it but it was an essential part of survival, you never know when a teacher wakes up that you don't have enough grades and decide to check the homework. In middle school, we were forced to have little portfolios with every homework we had to do but that homework was from a book and you had to crop pages of that 10-dollar wish version but everything was supposed to be verified by the teacher. Spoiler: No one did that.
Back to the present day, the first week of school is known as the "free" week because you have to know the school and know all the teachers ... Yeah, if "knowing the school" means destroying the property and finding a secret room so the principal takes advantage of that to make a profit. How great right?
I've spent the night thinking of possibilities to help with the decoration of the café, I am not a crafty person but I had some ideas. Most of my decorations were just plain Halloween lights and some artificial flowers. There was a nice shop in the neighborhood city that had all sorts of stuff for decoration, so I texted the class about it. They immediately agreed to my idea, and someone offered to sell some stuff online for our cause. Everyone was offering for doing something, so all the money will be gathered and we will all go to that store and gather what our eye thinks is pretty because: " It's our place! We need everyone's imprint of personality in it". Seemed reasonable, but it could be the worst idea too, considering our personalities combined it could make big chaos. At least I think so, how hard can it be right?
The next day we all gathered in a café to celebrate our begging, it was I was invited as well considering I am their classmate. I didn't know why we were celebrating, but soon an adult person walked into the café. It was a man in his late 30s dressed like some IT nerd or something. He sat somewhere so we could all see him and then a classmate spoke :
"This is our new partner in business, he saw my shop online, and after some exchanging he was interested in our cause and decided to help us with everything with 20% of our profit going to him first ".
It seemed like a good offer but 20% out of zero it's still zero. Perhaps he saw this as a very good business idea but you know everyone has to go through the bottom first. But we accepted anyway, well not everyone but the majority wins everything.
Our plan seems to have success and luck it was like this was meant to happen, who would've thought we had such fate? Now we all had a real motive to celebrate, it was beautiful and warm, and the vibe was great. It was the first time I felt such a thing, I was truly happy like my life just started but making my road before I even try, it's amazing. We spend all afternoon partying.
A new week of school has started and with that, I learned the very first rule of survival: Never do anything stupid or noticeable or you will be recognized for that action for 4 years. That happened with the guy that punched the wall on our very first day, to be honest, yes it was stupid, but if it weren't for him then we would not have our café. The truth is that the rest of the school was jealous of our discovery, they could've done so many things there like a sandwich area or a place to raise cockroaches (who would do that?!) but we claimed our place like a real estate property. The teachers didn't mind it as long as we don't ruin the teaching process, I think they like our idea but can't admit it. However, the teacher's support was something that caused...
