Hauntingly Alluring (Assassination Classroom Fanatic)

Late Night Surprises (Part 1)

[Okuda POV]

I gently subconsciously gnaw on my bottom lip as I furiously typed on my keyboard, it felt as if my fingers were waterfalls, consistently flowing with words. I take a quick glance as to what I have so far on the document and my eyes widen in astonishment, I have already written half a page and I only started eight minutes ago. I stopped typing and softly rest my open palms on top of the keyboard, I closed my eyes and sighed blissfully, "You can do it Manami, all you need ts one page." I momentarily take some deep breaths and resume into typing.

The only thing I could hear in the room was the sound of multitude of buttons being pressed down and a quiet melody oozing out from my throat, this is the type of atmosphere that I have always enjoyed in-taking the presence of because it simply intensifies my focus into what I am working on, because there isn't any distractions in the way, but to some, they may need music playing or have a drama show broadcasting on a television, but for me, this is just perfect. As I tear my eyes away from the document for a moment, I check the clock on the bottom right of my monitor, my mouth gaped ever so slightly, "Whaa, it's already 10:30pm?" I hovered my eyes back to the primary source on my screen, which is the word document I have been writing my short essay for a written scholarship. I lift my right hand and used my middle finger to gently prop up the bridge of my spectacles and resume placing them back onto the black keyboard.

"I will quickly finish this essay and revise it tomorrow." I curl my fingers slightly and begin typing.

This entire summer, I planned on devoting my entire attention into scouring for colleges and scholarships, since I will be entering my last year of high school after this summer and knowing me, I won't really have much time to invest into scavenger hunting for colleges and scholarships. I already have a career in mind that I want to pursue, which is being a researcher, I have always had a love for science. Science has always been is a vital element to life, science is a tool I use to understand the world around me, it provides logic and sense in what might otherwise seem chaotic.

There's the act of finding those answers to unanswered questions, as to why are things like that, or as to why are things aren't like that, putting the methods of science into action, that I find more fascinating than any bit of fiction. There are astronomers who uses telescopes to peer back in time. Biologist who discovers new species in both familiar and faraway places and struggle to figure out how to save others from extinction. Science is often, simply, fun.

Science is the torch that refrains us out of the dark ages. It may not always solve all of our problems, but it usually shed us the path to the solutions. And the more we know, the more questions we find. It's a never-ending search for answers that will continue for as long as the human race exists.

I can talk for hours about science and I will still have more things to say. Science offers me tremendous amount pleasure that I cannot fathom.

An abrupt vibrations occurs on the left side of my desk causing me to inhale sharply and quickly look as to what source caused the vibration, a name appears on top of my phone, Kaede Kayano, I stopped typing and slowly reach for my phone and grip on it with both of my hands. 'Why is Kaede calling at this hour?' I gently press the "answer" button on the screen and place the phone onto my right ear.

"I didn't think Manami would be one to stay up late." teased Kaede.

"I d-don't, Kaede!" I blurted out and quickly glance at my monitor, "I-It's just that I'm working on a w-written scholarship."

A soft chuckle erupted from Kaede, "Manami, don't you realize it's summer vacation?" I sighed and closed my eyes, "Yes, I know, but I promised myself to focus looking for colleges and scholarships."
