Moments 38
I like Steven's mother. She is so encouraging.
For her, it was foretelling. "You should get angry. You should get upset. It shows you have passion and resolve."

I can't relate more to that... People in society often have fake smiles to cover up their real emotions.
"That's not a real smile."

I don't like the sound of that...
They laughed louder: "Oh-Ho-ho-ho! Oh-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho!"

omg are teachers allowed to pull students like that?
"You'll pay for this." Bull E. threatened, staggering behind the lunch lady. "A-a-ah, don't pull so hard."

Bull seems to have angry problems, like a bull
"Bull E." Zero smiled and looked to the side.

That sounds so fancy for a school.
In the middle of it, all stood a marble fountain, spewing fresh mineral water in dazzling strings.

Wait what?? Ms. SimpeldeVich is 105??
Ms. SimpeldeVich started ranting. Oh, teenagers. As she gritted her teeth, she crushed the ruler in her hand into fine bits of powder. Teenagers, so disrespectful these days. She opened her hand, and the granulated "ruler" fell out. Besides, even if she was 105 now, she was forever 21 in her heart.

That's a teacher?! How inappropriate!
"Hey, class. My name is Jessica Simpel deVitch, Call me Jessica. And I shall be teaching you simplified English." She paused for a second. "I mean American English. Hohoho, I apologize, I don't really know... the difference." Her voice was sultry as if she was under the influence.

Don't do drugs kids...
Mr, M, took out crystals that looked like shards of meth and popped them in his mouth. They were sweet, little pieces of sugar that helped him stay sane in hard times.

I feel bad for Mr. M
Mr. M sighed again. He asked himself this many times: why even teach? He could have been a CFO for a global tech company. He could have been developing programs in VR. He could have been creating something greater than what he was now. He breathed in, reminding himself that one upon a time when he was younger, a teacher's smile had kept him awake. A fervor had ignited, and he realized that teaching wasn't empty. Every future drove forward on a road that needed countless generations of grueling construction. Each step before then had exhausted a multitude of lives to make. The roads, overlooked now, once meant insurmountable distance. Even if nobody looks twice, one day, each of them will look back on a paved road and remember. They'll remember the road behind them and the dirt path they had to carve out by themselves and give their gratitude to a road that was already there. The road more taken.

Not proofs...
"Alright then, we can have a fun lecture instead?" He reasoned. "Let's start on shapes and theorems, and work our way to proofs during this unit!"

Zero seems like a great person! I want to be his friend
"Algebra/Algebra II in room 203," Zero told him. "The school crams both into one course since we have two periods."

It took me awhile to get what that meant...

How did the teacher understand all that lol I could barely read lips
'You're my first teacher of the day, but I already decided that you're not going to be my favorite teacher,' Steven mouthed. It was super effective. Ms. Happi fainted.

"What A Dream Wants" has such a uniquely crafted storyline with complex characters. The main characters, Steven and Zero have such interesting character arc developments. I also like how the names are very unique. The whole novel is so descriptive that I could picture exactly what is happening! I definitely recommend this novel to a friend.
