12: September~

"Congratulations!" Sir Neil clapped at them. "Happy belated You-Have-All-Survived-One-Month-of-This-School!"

"YAY!!!!" Everyone clapped and cheered.

"Oh, Sir, where can we get registration forms for the student council candidate thing?" Gale asked.

"Hm..." Sir thought for a moment. "You look for it."

"Oh okay."

"Class!" Ma'am Ida said once they had finished the same stretching exercise they did last week. "We'll do something new today, besides push-ups."

Gale felt his excitement rise. Maybe they'd play a sport? Maybe Football???

"You'll be performing the One Mile Run." Ma'am said, and Gale felt his excitement drop to almost zero.

"Hey, guys." RD, one of Gale's classmates, whispered to the people nearby him. "Let's sing to make it fun!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

((Song by Smokey Mountain; Video by Jeff Lau))

((No, that Jeff has nothing to do with the class Jeff))

Note to self: Do not sing while running six laps around the field, despite it being fun. Your teacher will be angry, and you'll be tired.

"OH THERE IT IS!!!!" Gale ran up the stairs and looked at the brown envelope attached on the cork board near the library.

"Running for Batch Council VP?" Cheese Roll asked.

"Yeah." He took a slip out and scanned through it. He'll fill it out in the classroom, where there were tables and pens.

"Well, 7-Memes supports you!" The surrounding people, consisting of RD, Julia, Kiesha, JC, Brooke, Cheese Roll, and Kotka, applauded him.

"Thanks." He smiled at them.

"BCE means 'Before Common Era', and CENmeans 'Common Era'." Sir Ness, their Social Science teacher, explained. "BC means Before Christ, while AD means 'Anno Domini', or 'Year of the Lord'. BCE and BC mean the same just as CE and AD do."

"Sir, why are there different terms if they're just the same?" RD asked.

"Not everyone's a Christian, so we use BCE and AD."

"Ah, okay." RD wrote it down on his notebook.

"Next we'll discuss the Nusantao Trade Network Theory. 'Nusantao' or 'Nusantaro' means 'island people'." Sir drew a stick person on one of the islands he drew that represented the South East Asia region. "Disclaimer: These are fictional representations of the real people. Anyways, this is Abibas. They are very lonely."

"And this is..." He drew another stick person on another far away island. "Jeff."

"JEFF!!!" Jeff laughed.

"Jeff takes a boat to Abibas' island." Sir drew an arrow. "Then they (and those third-wheel people) became friends, and traded goods, like food."

"When they trade goods, they also exchange information, and bits of heir culture. This is called 'Culture Diffusion'." Sir wrote the words on the board. "That's why some words in other languages sound like ours."

"Sir, what happened to Abibas and Jeff?" Gale asked.

"They grew old and died."

"Psst... Kotka..." A couple of the students, looked at her. "Make a fanfic~"

"Yes." Kotka smiled mischievously.

"Do you all understand the lesson?" Sir Ness asked them all. "No questions?"

"Okay, you're all dismissed!" He started to erase the stuff on the board.

"Bye, sir!" The class started to leave the room.

"Guys, let's colonize the Netlites!" RD pointed to the classroom right next to theirs. It was the classroom of 7-Net.

"Hi, Sir Neil!" Most of Gale's classmates greeted their adviser, who was right outside the classroom of the class they were about to colonize.

"Early dismissal?" Sir Neil blinked.

"Yezzz!" The class started to surround him, except for those who immediately left.

Then they started to bend their knees, then they unbent them, then they repeated the cycle of bobbing.

Kotka stood a distance from crowd, laughing and pretending to not know them. Then she took our her phone and started to record the whole thing.

Soon, Sir Neil joined them too.

But then the bell rang, so he had to collect Net's quiz papers.

"Okay, guys." Gale called them. "Keep bobbing, but make sure the Netlites won't escape until they bow to us.

• • • • •

The plan sort of worked...

There were several casualties (One was Brooke being dragged away, and the rest were everyone's lungs from laughing.).

Instead of becoming a colony, Net became an ally of Memes.

For now.


A/N
Sadly, I doubt I'll be able to write the Jeff and Abibas fanfic

Also, I'm studying for Social Science, so I added some stuff in >:3
