While I was getting used to the idea that it was science class, which I certainly wasn't looking forward to, the group that threw the paper ball at me approached me with curiosity. Why do I know? Because I know how to identify bad vibes... Then, a male voice began to speak to me.
- ???: Hello idiot, what's your name? -he exclaimed.
I, on the other hand, ignored his words and kept my gaze fixed on the schedule, becoming aware of the upcoming subjects. Suddenly, I felt a small push on my back.
- ???: Hey, I'm talking to you! -he raised his voice a little.
One thing I must make clear... I hate physical contact. I turned around and looked at them closer. Two boys, one with a mark in his hair, another with glasses and the girl I mentioned at the beginning, smaller compared to the rest. The one with the mark in his hair crossed his arms, and the other two stood next to him. I approached the mark boy and looked directly into his eyes.
- Alex: This is the first and last time I'll warn you... Don't touch me again. -I told him, staying very firm.
- ???: Or what? Are you going to hit me? Ha! I dare you to do it. -the three started laughing.
That was when, then, a woman with an authoritative voice entered through the door and upon seeing the situation, she screamed.
- ???: WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE? YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS TO SIT DOWN!
After that shout that alerted us all, we sat in our places. That woman approached my table and looked at me intently.
- ???: And who are you? I don't recognize you...
- Alex: Alex... -I said without meeting her gaze, but I did notice that he was carrying a large saw in his hand.
- ???: So Alex huh? I'm Miss Bloomie, the science teacher. I hope we can get along well. -I guided my gaze towards her and she gave me a slight smile. Next, she went to the blackboard and began to teach - Very good class, today we are going to study the basic concepts of the periodic table. Take the notebooks, I'm going to start explaining.
I crouched down for a moment, opened the backpack and when I was going to take out my notebook, another ball of paper fell on me. This time, I grabbed it and squeezed it with my right hand. I took out the notebook and placed it on the table. While Miss Bloomie explained the elements of group one of the periodic table, which were Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium, I squeezed the ball of paper to eliminate some stress and with the other hand I wrote my notes.
- Miss Bloomie: Well, after explaining the theory, let's go with a practical exercise. Alex, since you're new, do you mind if you do it yourself? -Miss Bloomie exclaimed, giving me another slight smile and pointing the chalk at me.
- ???: I bet that useless guy doesn't even know how to hold chalk! -the boy with the mark on his hair shouted and everyone else started laughing. I should feel ashamed, right? Well no... The only thing I felt was anger...
- Miss Bloomie: Oliver, stop it! If you continue to disrupt the class, you will go straight to Miss Grace's office. -said Miss Bloomie, quite upset.
So Oliver huh? Well... I already caught you, son of a bitch. At that moment I left the ball of paper on my table, got up from my chair and approached the blackboard. I took Miss Bloomie's chalk. The exercise in question was to resolve the atomic number of Potassium, its symbol and its period. I started writing the answers. The atomic number was 19, its symbol was K, and its period was 3. I handed the chalk back to Miss Bloomie and waited for her reaction.
- Miss Bloomie: Very good Alex! Everything is perfect. -with that comment, I stared at Oliver with a scrubbing look. At that moment, Miss Bloomie looked at me again and continued talking- Do you mind making another one? -then I nodded.
Miss Bloomie drew a square, which contained some data. (223) in the upper left corner, 87 in the upper right corner and (Rn)7s1 in the lower left corner. One piece of information was missing... The symbol.
- Miss Bloomie: Well, you must iden... -without letting her finish, I took the chalk and wrote the symbol corresponding to Francium, that is, Fr. Miss Bloomie was amazed to see how quickly I did it. She then looked at me and said- WONDERFUL! You nailed it Alex. I see that you like science, so this subject will be very easy for you. Well, you can sit down young man.
Miss Bloomie continued explaining for those who were left behind with the explanation. So before I sat down, I walked over to Oliver's table and looked him in the eyes without saying anything. Then I went to my seat and sat down. Oliver looked at me with disgust after what happened.
Suddenly, the class bell rang. Then Miss Bloomie put down the chalk and addressed us all.
- Miss Bloomie: Well, class is over. You can go to the playground now. -she said with a calm tone. Everyone nodded and began to leave the classroom. Everyone... Except Oliver and his group.
While I was gathering my things and grabbing my lunch, Oliver walked up to me and was brave enough to take it from me. He stood laughing for a moment and then looked at me.
- Oliver: This is not over... -he whispered and left the class with his two friends and my lunch. I took the ball of paper and crushed it as hard as I could.
- Alex: Trust me it's not over...
