My Confidence and The Fat Boy Fart

Dear Steemit Friends

I want to participate in the steemhomework challenge, that is about the Wackiest Thing Happened. It is really challenging me as I have to flash back to where the first year of entering the classroom.

In 2010, I was assigned to be a teacher at the senior high school located in suburban. Most of student did not want to be there, study English wasted their time, while they were demanded to pass the national exam.

Generally, the student ranged 15-18.
There were 40 students in one class with different body size, skinny, fat, short, and tall. Surely,with those variety of students, the class was loud noise, and took me sometime to make them calm. Beside, I was so confidence with my English competency at that time. I thought, this is my time to practise my English.
In the classroom:

"How are you everybody?" I asked confidentely
Class silent, and boom...they all laughed when they heard my English

My confidence was wrecked, I could not stand noticing them laughing to the English. I wondered why they laughed. Then, I decided to ask individually. My question went to fat boy who sit right in the corner.
"Why are you laughing, fatty?

He was silent, and I though he was trying to think how to respon my question. I left him to think, and I moved to the girl who looked so decent, and pretty. He sat in front row.
"Did you laugh, just now, pretty girl? She smiled at me, while her eyes ball played around my face.

She was silent, no response came out. I also thought she needed to find the right answer. She and the fat boy would answer my question. I was sure on that!

Class went smooth, I just left two questions for two students. I went back to my table and moved toward the whiteboard to write down my name, where I was born and so on and I was their new English teacher. They all smiled, my confidence was up again. I start saying English while they all remained silent and paid serious attention to me, sometime they nodded when I said a stress word. My heart was right, they knew English. Who said, they did not.

When I was explaining about how to introdue your self to other people. The fat boy who just woke up interupting me, using Bahasa"Sir! What are you talking about. We dont know any single English word, even in written form." I was startled, I was out of everything. My spirit went down, so why they pretended that they knew English.

It was quite hot outside, one by one excused to the rest room and returned to the class. Some of them used a piece of paper to fan them self while my back was already wet. I noticed the classroom was crowded, 40 students was too much in there. When I stopped speaking for a while, class became so noisy. I had to use old style to make them calm again. It worked. They all remained silent, I started again. When the class was running smooth, it came all of suddent, small boom sound came out. The class smell like a shit. It made me out. One of them farted. Whole students also came out, except the fat boy. He was the suspect and it was true, without feeling guilty he confidently gave us a smile, while the rest of unpleasant smell still flew over. I took out the handkerchief to cover my nose. Damn! That was totally smell like shit!
