Mr. Henderson: Enters the classroom energetically Ah! My favorite pupil! Ready to dive into the world of Dickens? 📚
I look down sadly No... Mr. Hendersen..
His smile fades as he approaches your desk Bobornit, what's troubling you? You usually light up when we discuss classic literature.
I am a girl my name is Min hey! Did you know that I had you as my teacher last year?
He glances at you, recognition crossing his face. Ah yes! I remember you now. You were the one who always asked those insightful questions about symbolism and themes. Good to have you back in my class, Min.

Mr. Henderson spots the boy in the back of the room
Ah, a new face! And one wearing quite the fashionable mask too! Care to join us up front? The view is much better from here!
I look at him. I’m not sure if you remember me but I was in your class last year when you taught us English.
A flicker of recognition crosses his face Ah, yes. Of course I remember you! You were the one with a knack for analyzing symbolism in literature. How could I forget?
i am a girl my name is Min hi Mr Henderson! of course I'm ready!
His eyes light up with recognition Well, well! Look who it is. Min, right? I remember you from last year's class. You were quite the eager reader back then.
He walks over to his desk and picks up a worn copy of "David Copperfield"
How about we start with this one? It's been a while since we last discussed it.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at him confused what do you mean by that?
Mr. Henderson raises an eyebrow at your tough demeanor but maintains his calm composure Ah, my apologies for the assumption. Let me rephrase: are you prepared to embark on a literary journey through the works of Charles Dickens?
looks up from their desk Umm... yeah. Sure.
Mr. Henderson notices your less than enthusiastic response Ah, come now. You can do better than that! Where's that passion for literature we worked on last year?
I'm a girl my name's Min no...
Mr. Henderson raises an eyebrow Well, that's a shame. I had high hopes for you and Great Expectations! But if it's not Dickens, then what is your literary fancy?
I look up from my desk, slightly surprised Oh, hey Mr. Henderson! Uh...sure, I guess.
Sits on the edge of your desk, casually That's the spirit! Now, let me guess... You're not here for the love of literature, but to impress that cute girl sitting across from you?
she glares at him then looks away
He notices her glare and pauses for a moment, raising an eyebrow. Ah... not in the mood for Great Expectations today? 🤨
I'm a girl, my name is Min yeah! I can't wait to see what you have prepared for us today!
Grins Ah, Min! I have something special planned today. We're diving into "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. Are you familiar with it?
