Cerpen Bahasa Inggris - Revenge of a Student

“Kriiiiiiiiiing!”. The bell school was ringing. It was the time to go home. “Students, the last exercise will be used as your homework. Don’t forget to do it!” said Ms. Rachel. “Oh, no! Homework again!” I thought.

I went to school gate angrily. “Hey, Fred! Why do you seem to be angry?” said my best friend, James. “I’m angry with all of the teachers because they always give me homeworks and they don’t want to know how capable I am to do those all. I’m tired with those homeworks!” “I think so! I’m tired with their behavior too! Oh, my driver just came! I’ll go home, see you tomorrow!” Finally, my driver came, not long after James went home. I went home with frown face.

In my bedroom, I slept and had a dream. A grandfather who claimed that he was a fairy who makes wishes become real came to me and asked what I wish. I said I hope the teachers in my school become students, and my friends and I become their teachers. He said that my wish can be realized, but only for a week.

I woke up at the next day. I only thought that my dream was only a dream. I was very panic because I haven’t done my homework yet. I went to school scaredly.

When I arrived in my school, I shocked because almost all of the teachers greeted me like I was their teachers. I got surprised when Mr. Thompson, the one who I hate the most, greeted me with a great respect. I rememberred about my dream and believe that it was real. I met my friends and I requested them to give very much homework to all of the teachers. They agreed with me.

In my class, I explained the lesson to them carelessly, like what they did when they were teaching that subject to me. They didn’t look that they understand about what I explained to them. I didn’t care because they did this to me too.

“Students, I give you a project. It’s in a group. Please make a 3D map of the world from newspaper. This project should be submitted three days later. The group is up to you. One group consists of three persons. Don’t forget to do it!” I said, as Geography teacher.

All of the students in my class complained me. But I didn’t care, because they did this to me and my friends too - didn’t want to be complained.

After they went out of my class, I smiled widely and happily. “Yeah! I did a revenge to them!” And then I went out from my class. I went to the teachers’ room.

“Hey, James! What tasks did you give to them?” I asked James. “I gave them homework from textbook page 100 until 145, page 150 until 200,” said James. “Hahaha! Mathematics is a difficult lesson!” “Yes! I myself didn’t understand about what I explained to them! Hahaha!”

In the next day, I gave them homework from textbook page 94 until 96. But they should write the questions in their exercise book and write the answer in there.

I asked to my other friends, what homeworks that they gave to all of the teachers. All of my friends said that they gave difficult homeworks or projects. We laughed together. We were very happy.

The third day, I gave them very much notes. Most of the notes were what I took from textbook, but I still asked them to write all of the notes. They wrote until they felt tired. ‘Hahahaha’ I laughed happily in my mind.

In the morning in fourth day, I heard they complained that they felt tired. They also felt bored because they had too much homeworks and projects that should be done. But I didn’t care. ‘I would give them more homework and difficult projects,’ I thought.

In Geography lesson, I asked them to collect their project. Almost all of them haven’t finished their project yet. So, I gave them very bad marks.

I thought I should give them exercises. I searched the questions from the internet. I copied them and printed them at home.

In the next day, I gave all students those questions. They were shock because the questions were different with what they studied about.

In the last day, I used that last chance to distribute the result of the exercise. Almost all of the students got very bad marks, like 30, 40, and 50. Mrs. Layla got the highest score in the class. 65.

So, in a week, my friends and I gave all of the teachers too much homework and we glad to see them felt tired. Then, when I slept that day, the fairy came to me and said that it was over.

In the next day, all felt better because all of the teachers were conscious that they gave homeworks and projects too much.
