Miss Narwin, after immense consideration, decided to take up the offer of a very good friend, teaching Literature…
Monday, April 9
Philip was warmly welcomed by George Brookover, principal of Washington Academy. They were elated to have Philip as he had created a sensation in the country. Philip walked with a spring in his step, overjoyed to start on the right foot. He whistled as he sashayed to his class.
The national anthem roared over the P.A. system and the students had a choice of whether to sing along or not. Philip hummed loudly and was so contagious that all the students followed suit, looking patriotic.
First lesson was Mathematics and it was enjoyable. Philip was thinking about how the literature lesson next would be interesting as he held on to the book: “Nothing But The Truth”. His new found friends gathered around him, adding on to the cacophony of noises that blasted in the classroom. Then came the click-clocking of stilettos as it crescendo to a sudden halt. The unmistakable footsteps! Philip thought to himself.
He almost fainted as he came face to face with the person he least wanted to meet. Oh my gosh! He muttered under his breath as Mr Brookover introduced Miss Narwin as the best Literature teacher with 21 years of teaching experience to the class. Philip’s knees went weak and before he could find some excuses to get out, Miss Narwin was right in front of him, giving him an unusually saccharine smile. To his utmost surprise she extended her hand and offered truce. After being through so much conflicts, pressure and stress, it was the opportune moment to establish a good relationship.
After Miss Narwin’s class, which was really interestingly refreshing to him, Philip offered to buy her a cup of coffee. Miss Narwin readily accepted and in was the best one to one conversation they ever had. They grew to understand and find many positive strengths about each other. And of course, Philip asked her for the extra work he promised.

Philip talent and giftedness in soccer was recognised and he was made the captain. He led the school team to their victory at the district level. Miss Narwin’s experience in teaching and her dedication won the hearts of many students. She received the most votes for Teacher of the Year Award. These two, who at one point faced a very bleak future, have turned around and become successful in their own field. The end!
