Almost

A1: The Beginning

KEEME'S POV

Here I am, in my way to school, sleepy as hell. Never thought despite my  high grades, I still need to go to school. I'm currently in  3rd year high school.

Yes, your talking to this state's highest scorer on the National Exam. Two mistakes? How careless of me. Next time I'm going to take the International Exams, goal: PERFECT SCORE.

What would I do at school? Stay and study in library until the end of the day.

I made it into my personal place.  I added a sala set, bed and kitchen there. Our school is truly our second home isn't it?

Privacy? No problem. No student go to the library nowadays.

They value entertainment over learning. I can't believe how the human race become more ignorant and illiterate. The people of today don't understand the beauty of education. How I feel pity for them.

I only speak to people who understand and love learning. That's the primary reason why I only have less friends. But at least, I have some, don't I?

At school, I only have Athena. She's my only friend. She likes Mathematics and that made us close to each other.

We met at the library. She's the only person I know who visits me and takes learning seriously, but she goes to regular classes and visits me at recess, lunch and dissmissal.

She is the second honor of the A section, next to me. We should be classmates, but as I've said, I hate mingling with stupid people.

~~School~~

I directly went to the library.

I don't usually go to classes. I hate going to classes.

My teachers are too self-proclaimed and my classmates are simply too stupid for me to mingle with them. Yes, those must be reasons for it.

The teacher who gives me quizzes I'm supposed to take in a regular class is Mam. Min. My supposed~to~be teachers give the quizzes I'm gonna answer to her.

I chose her to give me the quizzes since she is very kind and respectful.

I heard the door creak as Mam. Min entered the library.

"Good Morning Keeme!"She greeted.

"Good Morning Mam. Min. What's up?"I replied.

"A programme will be happening later. We should start early so I can still attend the programme."

"Is it important?"

"Just the drugs symposium. I am going to reprimand the students if they become noisy."

"Nah, I ain't gonna come." I said as she smiled.

"How many quizzes am I going to take today?" I inquired.

"You are going to take 2 quizzes." She answered.

"Huh, why only two quizzes?"

"The symposium and maybe, some teachers forgot to give the quizzes or maybe there's no quiz in other subjects today at all."

"Okay, let's start." She commanded.

She gave me the quiz paper.

2nd Quiz: Science (Biology)

Explain the Theory of Spontaneous Generation.

Answer:

Aristotle believed that dead leaves falling from a tree into a pond would transform into fishes and those falling on soil would transform into worms and insects. He also held that some insects develop from morning dew and rotting manure. Egyptians believed that mud of the Nile river could spontaneously give rise to many forms of life. The idea of spontaneous generation was popular almost till seventeenth century. Many scientists like Descartes, Galileo and Helmont supported this idea. In fact, Von Helmont went to the extent stating that he had prepared a 'soup' from which he could spontaneously generate rats! The 'soup' consisted of a dirty cloth soaked in water with a handful of wheat grains. Helmont stated that if human sweat is added as an 'active principle' to this, in just 17 days, it could generate rats!

The theory of Spontaneous Generation was disapproved in the course of time due to the experiment conducted by Fransisco Redi (1665), Spallanzani (1765) and later by Louis Pasteur (1864) in his famous Swan neck experiment. This theory was disapproved, as scientists gave definite proof that life comes from pre-existing life.

"Okay Keeme, you've finished your quizzes and as usual, your perfect." I smiled on what Mam. Min said.

"Thank you for coming Mam. See you tommorow."

"Bye."

"Bye."

I went to the kitchen(library) to cook lunch for myself and for Athena. I decided to cook Japanese food. I made a bento.

Bento is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento holds rice, fish or meat, with pickled or cooked vegetables. Its in a box-shaped container.

Our beverage will be tea. This will be my second time using actual tea leaves.
