Asterix first meeting chapter 5

Asterix – First meeting chapter 5

As the sun slowly rose in the horizon a rooster was galley high. The galley of the rooster got the boy called Asterix awake.

The boy was rubbing his eyes tiredly. It had be a hard night for the 6 year old kid. All night he had yearn for his first day in school and he was eager to meet his neighbor Obelix. All his sprightliness had disturbed his sleep, and the August heat didn't really help.

A yawn escaped the tired boy as he got up from bed and got dressed. With another yawn he slowly walked to breakfast.

"Good morning, son" greeted his father, Astronomix, him when he walked in.

The boy simply answered with a yawn. This caused his father to chuckle.

"Sleepy, aren't we?" chuckled he with a smile.

Before Asterix could answer, another person walked in.

"I certainly don't hope so. You know its school today, don't you?" a female voice said strictly.

It was Asterix mother, Sarsaparilla. She gave her son "the look", which had helped her many times to get Astronomix to clean the hut.

But for a reason she will never understand, it didn't work on the little boy, who simply starred back on his mother and said sleepy "I know it school today, mother. It's why I hadn't sleep very well. I really can't wait for the first day in school".

With sparkling eyes the boy smiled at his mother. Many kids wouldn't have been so eager to go to school, but Asterix wasn't like other kids. He was unusually bright for his age and never had he had a friend.

Despite the fact that she didn't like that "the look" never worked on him, Sarsaparilla
couldn't help but smile back.

He's a lot like his father, she thought with pride.


After eating breakfast Asterix hurried of to school.

"Take care!" Shouted his mother after him.

"I will!" shouted he back and turned around to wave at them.

As he turned back again he could see from the corner of his eye that his parents cried with pride.

The sun was shining bright over Asterix where he went whit a heavy backpack on his back.
His blonde hair was shining in the sun.

It didn't take long before others was company him, both girls and boys. Everyone was talking constantly, but not Asterix. He was to busy searching for Obelix.

It didn't matter where he looked the boy was nowhere to be found.

Weird. But he most come to school, he can't just skip it, can he?, thought Asterix terrified.

He wasn't really sure with thought that scared him the most, the one that he might not meet Obelix again, or the one what someone would skip school.

The school lies near the druid, Getafix, hut. The druid was not only the reason the Gaul's hadn't been beaten by the Romans, but he was also the village teacher.

The tall, old druid was standing by a giant stone. In front of him was many stone tables and chairs in line. Sitting on one of the chairs was Obelix.

When Asterix saw this he cracked up in a big smile and began to run. He was a really fast kid and on just some seconds he was beside the fat kid.

Just as he had opened his mouth to talk to the other kid, Asterix was cut down by the teacher.

"Take sit kids, it's time to begin class".

With a disappointed sight Asterix was forced to sit down and listen to the teacher.

I have an opportunity to talk to him on the break, he told himself as the class began.

With eager he listened closely during the whole class and sucked the information in like sponge suck water.

In contrast to the others kids Asterix enjoyed whole class.

But he also longed for the break, for then he finally was going to talk to Obelix.
