02: Rank number two
Nakaupo ako sa loob ng klase at nagdi-discuss si Professor Carstein.
"So, my dear future scientists, elements have many uses and function..."
Kaming lahat na nakapasok sa paaralang ito ay lahat ng gustong maging scientist at isa ako dun.
"Let's move on to the scientists." pinindot ni Professor Carstein ang maliit niyang remote at tinutok sa screen at nagflash ang iba't ibang mukha ng mga sikat na scientists.
"I would like to ask a question. Who is the best scientist for you?"
Tahimik ang klase at taimtim na nag-iisip. Sa dami yata ng scientists na magagaling mahirap talagang sabihin kung sino ang the best of the best.
Napatingin ako sa isang litrato na nakaflash sa screen. Isa itong matandang scientist na gulo-gulo ang buhok na tila napagkaitan ng panahon na magsuklay at nababalot ng seryosong mukha.
Nagtaas ako ng kamay.
"Yes, Ms. Lovei?" tawag niya saakin. Maayos ang pakikitungo niya sa pagtuturo ngayon.
Tumayo ako at inayos ang suot kong mahabang puting uniporme.
"For me the greatest scientist I've ever known is Albert Einstein." nakatitig silang lahat saakin pero isinantabi ko lamang sila.
"Why do you say so?" nakatayo lang sa flat form si Professor Carstein at nakatingin saakin.
"Aside from being famous, Albert Einstein gave the theory of relativity. His theory of relativity was a new way of looking at time, space, matter and energy. Einstein showed that a small amount of matter could be changed into a vast amount of energy. This made it possible for people to use Nuclear Energy. And what I like about Albert Einstein is he contributed inventions, theories and discoveries to the world. One example is Einstein helped to develop the first atomic bomb." paliwanag ko.
"And that is the reason why you are fond of bombing our laboratory? You really like Albert Einstein." nanatili akong nakatingin sakanya at walang ipinakitang kahit anong pagkahiya. Napahalakhak ang iba sa mga kaklase ko at ang iba naman ay pangiti-ngiti lang. "You may now sit down. Thank you, Ms. Lovei."
Pabagsak akong naupo. Bombahin ko kaya 'tong classroom para masaya? Tsk. Napasimangot na lang ako at tumingin sa harap.
"Prof..."
Nadako ang atensyon naming lahat sa babaeng nagtaas ng kamay.
Katamtaman ang haba ng buhok niya at diretso lang ang kaniyang mukha.
"Yes, Ms. Kyra Light?" nakangiting tawag ni Professor Carstein sakanya.
"One of the greatest scientist for me is Thomas Alva Edison." nakikinig ang lahat sakanya.
"Kapangalan ni Principal Thomas!" agaw pansin ng isang kaklase namin na si Clyde. Patawa-tawa siya at gano'n rin ang grupo niya.
"Quite Mr.Enriquez!"
Tiningnan lang siya ni Kyra at binalik ang tingin kay Professor Carstein.
