Bad things really spread fast thousands of miles. The strange thing about my " supernatural power" that happened a few days ago was immediately passed on to discipline master, and even principal. In this remote village, a small school with a closed environment had no secrets…
"Zong-Yu Shen, I heard that something strange happened when you were sketching at school?? Your classmates complained that you deliberately harassed them and bullied them. Can you explain to me what happened that day??" I sat in principal's office, looking at principal's wrinkled face, he asked me in a suspicious tone.
So I told principal of what happened that day in all details…
" That day after school, I sat down in shade of trees around playground and wanted to sketch and draw. Not long after, I saw Ming-Wei Huang and few classmates walking towards me, hand a basketball."
" Ming-Wei Huang provoked me to say something intolerable and embarrassed words to me. I ignored him in silence, and he tried to smash me with his basketball. The first time I didn't know what was going on, it was blocked by a tree, and then he smashed basketball second time! Tree’s branches actually threw basketball far and far in the opposite direction indeed~ but I really don't know what happened, I didn't bully them."
I told the principal honestly.
"It seems you don't tell a lie from looks of you, it sounds incredible. Zong-Yu Shen, can you show me your sketches??" Principal looked at me calmly, as if believing that I was innocent. Then he was curious about my creative drawings, so I went back to my classroom and showed him my sketchbook.
After principal opened my sketchbook I handed him, he slowly flipped through pages, his eyes glowing with admiration!!
"Did you draw these?" he asked me as he flipped through sketchbook pages.
"Yes, Mr. Wang. I drew it all by looking at plants around me." I answered without hesitation.
"I didn't expect you can draw such superb works at your age. I like it very much~~ I was thinking, maybe you really have some special talent, besides drawing, you can also communicate with plants." Principal praised my drawing, guessing what kind of "superpower" I might be.
" Zong-Yu Shen, that's it!! Can you do Principal a favor~~ Since you have such a high talent and ability in plant painting, and have a special experience related to big trees…" Principal paused for a while, then continued~
"I hope you can represent our school, I will invite some media reporters, to do a personal interview with you and share your talents. In this way, our school's reputation will be better, and you will be very popular, haha!!" Principal Look at me and smile with excitement!!
After I finished listening, I paused for a few minutes… "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang! I don't like talking to everyone, I just like sketching and drawing quietly by myself. I don't think I can help you." I chose not to hesitant to say my sincere words, although I am not a very expressive teenager, but I am very clear that I am a person who only likes to draw and sketch. At that time, I really had no interest in principal's proposal, so I refused to him firmly.
After I bowed deeply, I looked like I wanted to hurry back to classroom.
"So... Zong-Yu Shen, don't you think about it? Maybe it will be very helpful for your further studies." Principal tried to persuade me once.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I don't think about it. I have to go back to my classroom. Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
After returning to my classroom, I felt like a big stone was put down in my heart, calm and stable. Seeing that next biology class was coming soon!!An anticipation in my heart was ignited, I hope I have more interactions with Ms. Lan, and I also want to ask her if the last incident really related to the " supernatural power" she taught me.
After class bell rang for a few minutes, I saw a new teacher with an unfamiliar face entering my classroom.
" Dear students, let me report a news!! Ms. Lan will not stay in our school to teach because of an emergency situation! I will be new teacher of your biology class in the future."
This unexpected news delivered by new teacher shocked me a lot. Although I once felt the strong kindness of Ms. Lan, I have not really had a deep chat with her….
"It's weird~ Why is it so sudden, which school did Ms. Lan transfer to??" I became anxious, and I vaguely felt that Ms. Lan left suddenly, and it's very possible that I can't contact her anymore.
The result was as I thought. After school in that day, I inquired about Ms. Lan whereabouts, but no teacher knew. After finally asking a teacher for phone number of Ms. Lan, I borrowed phone from school and dialed it several times, but it turned out to be an "empty number".
I was really troubled at that time, because I really wanted to thank her face to face again, no matter if she had given me " supernatural power" or not. I have been helpless since I was a child, and Ms. Lan kindly encouraged me. Like a beacon in the ocean, it illuminates and warms my heart.
During that period, the truth was that she vanished into thin air. I tried my best to find her, but I couldn't find her anymore!! Seeing my missing person notice stuck in a stalemate, there was really nothing I could do. The feeling of powerlessness affected my mood of sketching and painting.
