On Thursday, during Dispersal Time, Prism said to Asterisk, "Well done, Asterisk! I had never ever thought that you would be made the Class Monitor some day!"
Asterisk told her, "Really, Prism, it's an unexpected thing. I will tell my Parents about it. They will be happy and surprised!"
Prism, in an attempt to make Asterisk blush, said, "Aren't your Parents proud of you? You're a gifted heir of theirs whom they should be really proud of!"
But Asterisk, didn't blush, not even a bit and said smartly, "I can't say that."
Soon, Asterisk saw her Father, Glitter Bright standing amongst the crowd outside the School gates.
Prism waved her hoof and said to Asterisk, "Bye, Asterisk."
Asterisk, despite being aware of Prism's dangerous personality, waved her hoof back at Prism and said to her, "Bye, Prism."
Asterisk smiled as she left. She walked outside the School gates, that were opened. She walked to her Father. They made their way to the Bus Stand and got onto a less-crowded bus.
Sitting inside the bus, Asterisk looked through the windows of the bus and saw her surroundings change slowly. After about half an hour, Asterisk and her Father was near their home.
Asterisk told her Father as she jumped out of the bus after it stopped, "Dad, today, I've got some important good news to tell you and Mom."
"Shiny, don't jump out of the bus like that. It is dangerous." warned Glitter Bright, Asterisk's Father.
"OK, Dad." said Asterisk obediently.
"What is that good news, Shiny?" Glitter Bright asked.
Asterisk said, "No, Dad, I won't tell it to you now. It's a surprise good news. I will tell you and Mom about the good news when we go inside the house."
Soon, Asterisk and her Father went inside their house.
Asterisk quickly went upstairs and took off her uniform and took a bath.
When Asterisk's Parents were in a good and happy mood, Asterisk came to tell the important good news.
Asterisk said to her Parents, "Now, Mom and Dad, do you want to know the important good news?"
Glitter Bright said to Glowing Mist, "You know, Shiny's Mom, Shiny was telling me that she has got some kind of important good news to tell us."
So Asterisk started, "I have been made the Class Monitor...."
Glitter Bright and Glowing Mist was extremely surprised. They had never thought of Asterisk being made the Class Monitor.
Glitter Bright and Glowing Mist said together, "Wh-what do you say? Y-you h-have been made the Class Monitor? Really?!"
Asterisk said, "Yes, Mom and Dad, I have been made the Class Monitor!"
Glitter Bright asked worriedly, "Were you able to manage your noisy class properly?"
Asterisk said, "Yes Dad! I applied your idea - Telling them a story. Sunflower, the Co-Class Monitor told the story."
Glowing Mist asked, "How did you manage to keep the class quiet?"
Asterisk said all that she had said and had done to keep the class quiet.
Asterisk's Parents were astonished. They were speechless for a second.
Then Asterisk's Parents said, "It's a great news, Shiny. We always thought that you would never be given Monitorship as we were aware of the system of electing the fillies and foals who can shout at the top of their voices as the Class Monitors."
Asterisk recalled an incident that had taken place a few weeks ago.
One day, Asterisk said, "The Class Monitors shout at the top of their voices when the class becomes extremely noisy."
Asterisk's Father said to her, "Yes, Shiny, those who are able to shout at the top of their voices are elected as the Class Monitors. So, you will never ever be given Monitorship."
Asterisk thought, "I can get the gift of Monitorship only if I can prove myself capable of managing the class. Besides, it's a responsibility."
Asterisk trembled with happiness and thought of how the unexpected thing finally came into reality. She felt thankful for the wonderful gift of Monitorship she had just received.
