Chapter 3 (Disastrous Day One)

"Grandma, grandma' I shouted and yelled on top of my voice when I reached home. I am really excited that I am actually practising and helping people tomorrow.

"Yes, dear boy" grandma smilingly walking down the steps.

"I am starting my internship tomorrow at Jiangmeng College" I wrap my arms around grandma and told her excitingly.

"Oh, dear Zan, this is the most exciting time of your life. I remembered my time as an intern. It was so exciting and fun as well" Grandma is always encouraging.

"Grandma, I am a bit worry, I look young and Bowen and Wen Han laughing at me. I am nineteen now, they think I look sixteen, should I dress up a bit more mature" I earnestly asking for my great and wonderful grandma opinion and advice.

"What do you think, Zan?" Oh no, I think my grandma is doing some psychologist theory with me now.

"Grandma, don't do that, just help me" Zan whined

"Hey, I don't have your brain and look, how am I going to answer your question" stubborn grandma is not helping at all.

"Ok, I will try and look a bit more mature than them" I decided, I think in my heart that this will actually be my facet for covering up my fear.

"I am wondering what do you want to achieve when you see the kids, Zan" Grandma asks

"I want to help them and starts by having a good relationship with them" I innocently answer

"You found your own answer to how you want to have good relationship" Grandma laughs

I am lost for a while.

"How do you ever gets to have friends, do you go for someone different or look for some kind of similarity or maybe some comfortable space" Grandma asks me

"Oh, usually, same subjects, same level of humours...." Then I look at grandma who is still smiling

"Oh, I should just be myself, RIGHT, grandma" I asks happily.

"I don't know, you are the great psychologist, you will have the answer" She still stubborn knowing that I am only a student.

"OK. Grandma, you win. I worry too much about rubbish extrinsic matter, I should be there and listen to their intrinsic heart" I ask thoughtful.

"I know I have a wonderful up and coming psychologist in this family" Grandma hugs me and smile.

I am always grateful for my grandma. She is always my support pillar. Don't be mistaken, I love my parents too. But grandma is really special in my heart.

I was asked to be in school at 8 am as the school bells rings at 8.30 am. I am meeting the school principal, Mr Jiang, who is the founder and owner of this college. Mr Jiang will be my internship officer, meaning if I have any issues in the college, he is the first person I will go to.

I walk into the office and met a man in his sixties but he is still strong and able.

"Welcome Zan, I am so happy to have you" Mr Jiang extend his warm hand which is still firm with his grip.

"Thank you, Mr Jiang. I am very happy to be here" I responded with my usual well-mannered behaviour.

"I will introduce you to the school, during our assembly time, so that students can know who you are and can make appointment to see you if they have any challenging issues" Mr Jiang told me

When the bell rings at exactly 8.30 am. All the students are seated in the big hall.

There were a few speeches given by the senior teachers and deputy principal. Then it is time to introduce me

"We have an intern psychologist here" Mr Jiang introduce.

Before he could finish his sentence, no one can hear his voice anymore, because the students were squealing and screaming like they saw a celebrity.

This really makes me blush and at a lost what to do. I know I look handsome and dashing. I have numerous of absurd confession that could make you laugh. But this is isn't working very well if I am going to be the psychologist here.

I just shake my head and wonder how my days are going to be, with all these crazy students yelling and shouting out for my name.

A super loud whistle and a warning of detention is the only way to get the students to keep quiet. I finally follow Mr Jiang who show my room where I work. What I did not expect is the queue to see me has already begins immediately after the assembly.

I have only 6 hours here today, but the queue is so long that the office ladies are sweating trying to stop them from stomping into my office. I decided to start seeing them as soon as possible as I thought that all of them must be under distress that they can't wait to see me.

I then realised that all the questions I have are like a personal interviewer. Question coming out from them are

"Sir, how old are you?"

"Do you have a girlfriend, can I be one"

"Do you have a boyfriend, I am cute and you will like me"

I got so tire that those who comes as interviewer will be given 10 minutes to get out of my room. I could just see the office ladies sneakily laughing non-stop.

They are some that makes me jump the wall

"Sir, I am here because I play computer game till morning, so too sleepy to attend class, maybe I can rest here"

"Oh, they are doing a science test. I didn't study for the test" quietly the boy told me.

So, now I know that I am used as an escape route for test and a comfy place to sleep.

Some are even so audacious that they pester for my mobile phone number

"Sir, I need to call you when I am in distress" I have to politely decline them.

After seeing about 20 – 30 students that doesn't need my help. I almost gives up until Mr Jiang came and see me.

"Zan, I think I would like you to see one of the student here. He is the one that really needs help but he is not an easy character. Also, he is different and not like the rest. He will not come unless I issue him an order to come. Can you help to see this boy?" Mr Jiang asks me.

In my mind I am thinking, at least I am seeing someone that really needs help. As an intern I am really enthusiastic.

"Yes, I will see him next week, what is his name sir" I ask

"His name is Wang Yebo"
