The Deal With A Jinn

"The Deal".

Author's greetings ^⁠_⁠^:-

"Physics, oh physics, a subject so grand
Yet, to me, it's a never-ending frustration land
Equations and formulas, a jumbled mess in my brain
I struggle to understand, but it's all in vain

Forces and motion, energy and space
I try to grasp, but it's a futile race
I stare at the textbook, my mind in a haze
Wishing I could comprehend, but it's a daze

Oh, physics, why must you be so hard?
Can't you see, I'm struggling to grasp your every yard?
But still I'll try, though my mind may protest
For in the beauty of science, I know you're the best".

Hani slumped in her chair, her eyes glued to the clock. Physics class - ugh! She sighed, her mind daydreaming about more fun things...like her favorite TV show or a yummy burger.

The door swung open and Professor Khan walked in, a big smile on his face. "Good morning, class!"

The students jumped up like robots, chanting "Good morning, sir!" in unison. Hani, however, took her sweet time, stretching like a cat and muttering a lazy "Morning..." under her breath.

Professor Khan raised an eyebrow, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Good morning, Hani...eventually!" he teased, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Hani's face turned bright red as she quickly sat up straight, trying to look interested. But her mind was already wandering... "Will this lesson ever end?"

Hani breathed a silent sigh of relief as Professor Khan continued lecturing, his eyes scanning the room but mercifully skipping over her. "Thank God," she thought to herself, "he didn't call on me. I have no idea what's going on, I'm completely lost in this class."

She shook her head, her mind still wandering. "I swear, physics is like a foreign language to me. I'm pretty sure I'd have a better chance of understanding alien speak than this stuff."

As the professor droned on, Hani's thoughts drifted to her favorite book series again. "I wonder what's going to happen in the next chapter...I hope Sophia finally figures out her powers..."

She smiled to herself, lost in her daydream. At least in her favorite books, she could escape the confusion and frustration of physics class.

Hani's mind was a million miles away, imagining Sophia's epic battles and romantic encounters. She was so caught up in her daydream that she didn't even notice the classroom had fallen silent.

That is, until she heard her own name being called. "Hani?" Professor Khan's voice pierced through the air, snapping her back to reality.

Hani's eyes widened as she realized the entire class was staring at her, their faces a mix of amusement and confusion. She felt her face flush bright red as she realized she had been caught zoning out.

"Uh, yeah?" she stammered, trying to play it cool.

Professor Khan raised an eyebrow. "Care to share what's so fascinating in your world, Hani?"

Hani's mind raced as she tried to come up with something, anything, to say. But all she could think about was Sophia's latest adventure. "Uh, I was just...um...thinking about...gravity?" she ventured, hoping it sounded somewhat plausible.

The class erupted in snickers and giggles, and even Professor Khan couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, I'm glad you're so interested in physics, Hani. Maybe next time you can share your thoughts with the rest of us."
