Opravy

(The main character is a little boy who is about 7 years old and I have to find how the little English children speak, so don't worry if the dialogues and the narration are not no very formal it's normal ! thanks for your help ;) ) Today, at school, the (school) teacher missed.

We were in the playground, standed in a line, to enter the classroom/class ,when the supervisor/warden told/said to us: «Your teacher is sick, today».

The supervisor, we call him «Le Bouillon», when he is not here, of course.

We call him like this, because he is saying everytime: «Look me in the eye»….

Me neither I hadn’t understood right now/at the moment, it’s the bigger (the children who are older, special english expression said by the children??) who explained it to me.

Le Bouillon has a big moustache and he (often?) punishes (often?), with him, you shoudn’t joke about/laugh.

That’s why we were embarrassed/upset/bothered that he comes to watch us closely/over//to keep watch on us, but, fortunately, when he arrived in class, he told us : «I can’t stay with you, I have to work with monsieur the headmaster/school principal, so, look me in the eye and promise me to be wise/behave yourselves/be good».

All our lot of eyes watched into his and we promised.

By the way, we are always enough wise.

But he seemed to be wary, le Bouillon, so he asked who had been the best pupil in the class.

«It’s me sir !» said Agnan, so proud.

And it’s true, Agnan is the first in the class/the top of the class, it’s also the favorite/darling (other possibilities?) of the teacher and us we don’t like him so much, but we can’t beat him up as often as we wish, because of his glasses.

«Well, said le Bouillon, you are going to seat in place of your teacher/(at the seat of your teacher?) and you will keep watching on your comrades.

I will come back from time to time to see how things go/are going/work out.

Agnan full of joy/happy, came to sit at he teacher’s desk and le Bouillon got out/left.

«Well, said Agnan, we had to have arithmetic, take your notebooks/books, we are going to do/make a problem».

«You’re not a little crazy, are you ?

asked Clotaire.

» yelled Agnan, who really seemed to think he was the teacher.

«Come here to say it to my face, if you are a man !

» said Clotaire and the door of the class opened and we saw le Bouillon entering very happy. «Ah ! He said.

I was staying behind/ had been stayed behind the door to listen.

You, over there, look me in the eye » Clotaire watched, but what he had seen didn’t seem to make him glad/give him pleasure.
