Miracles
It's amazing how some people can miraculously appear for a particular important lesson in the middle of the day, and then vanished for the not-so-important lesson afterwards.
Or how people are nowhere to be found for P.E. and a lesson which teaches beyond curriculum knowledge, and yet surprisingly sprung out for an important tutorial conducted by a teacher who coincidentally is our Civics Tutor (a teacher with the role similar to that of a form teacher).
Bermuda-triangulated for lessons which they deem as not important, and only make their presence known during lessons which they deem as important (such as lessons which will cover our syllabus, or give hints to the upcoming examinations).
God knows what they have been doing during their time of absence. But come to think of it, no prizes for guessing correctly what they have actually been doing when they delibrately and intentionally skipped lessons.
I remember one of my primary school classmates would miraculously fall sick nearing examination period -- a period when the focus of lessons are mainly on revision. Similarly, if you had known that this classmate has a mother who is a tuition teacher and she would buy one million and one assessment books for her child to practice his knowledge acquired, no prize for you for guessing correctly why my classmate would "fall sick".
Oh. I just remembered polyclinics are known to be lax in issuing ambiguous medical certificates to "patients". For just a nominal fee of $5.
In any case, my two dear friends don't even bother to produce that piece of certificate that acknowledges the fact that you are ill. They are whiz kids, child prodigies in the field of medical science who can self-diagnose.
Or just claim that they are present in school, and proposed the theory that the chances of two persons meeting is 1 out of 60 million squared when their whereabouts are questioned.
Amazingly, some of them are scholarship-holders, and potentially able to bag for themselves even more scholarships.
Don't you ever say that I am jealous of them, for I am not envious of their character and integrity.
Have respect for your teachers and peers, and you will get our respect.
