A Dangerous Secret Revealed

Chapter 15

When we were all done eating lunch, Rafael led us the way to the library. The same library where it happened.
I thought that we were going to study in the library, but Rafael just walked to the exit door.
We followed him to a room. This one was much, much smaller compared to the training room.
Inside the room was two beds, a medium-sized, square, wooden table, two normal chairs, a computer, and fashionable hats on the floor. What? How will we study using those stuff? There were no books!

"Uh...Mr. Rafael? How will we study those...stuff?" Joan questioned.
He just grinned and replied,"You will find Spunky method very weird."
"Why? What's the difference?" I asked.
"At Spunky School, there are not much tables in the classrooms. Instead, classrooms are filled with beds."
"And then what will students do with beds?"
"Lie down, of course. What else?"
"Um, lie down and sleep?"
He gave us a look and laughed hard. "No, lie down and put this," He grabbed the fashionable hat that celebrities wear and continued," on your head."
"Okay....So, how will a hat help is study??"
"This is not an ordinary hat. You lie down, wear it, and become smart." Okay...you expect us to believe that?
He continued explaining,"At the back of the hat is a wire. The wire will be connected to this computer. It's like the helmet in the chair." Ohhh....now I get it.
"Okay...and then what's next after that...lie down-wear-hat-method?" I asked.
"Take the test and see if you pass."
"What happens if we fail."
"No one has EVER failed before. This hat will make you smart instantly. First subject is Mathemitics." No.....I suck at Math!! I hate Math! I will fail! "Lie down and choose a hat. And close your eyes. You will get visions of Math."
Joan and I lied down and chose a hat.
It's like sleeping also, anyway. I got visions of.....fractions....money....more fractions... It's like I understand everything! This hat is a way better instructor than teachers at school! If only I would use this everyday, I will be the best at Math!
I felt someone pulling my hat.
"Open your eyes now. Sit down on the chair and take the test." I looked at the other bed. Joan's not there.
She's at the table, already taking the test. Of course she finished the hat-thingy faster than me. My brain really sucks at Math.
I took a pencil and started answering. For some weird reason, the test was very easy. At school, although I'm an excellent student, Math will always be my weakness. Now it seemed very simple.
"Done," Joan said.
"Me too," Wow, I finished faster than usual. Rafael collected the the papers.
"We'll have one last subject. Science. Tomorrow we'll have English."
What? What time is it? We have free time at 5:00. We started at 12:30. It's 2:45! We used up 2 hours on the hat and the test!
"Lie down." Spunky method is awesome! It's like sleeping at class times!
The topic in Science is the human skeleton and parts of the bones.....cartilage.....humerus....radius...cerebellum.
Next topic: joints. Gliding joints...ball and socket joints...hinge joints...pivot joints.

"Open your eyes." This time I finished earlier than Joan. She was still lying down.
The test was easy and I finished before Joan woke up. When it comes to Science, I'm better than her.
Rafael took my Science test. To check it, maybe.
Joan was finally done and she took the test while I waited. I looked at the time. It's 4:50. Yes, free time after this!
"I'm done," Joan said. Rafael checked it.
"Cath, you got one mistake in Math. Joan you got perfect in Math. Cath...perfect in Science. Joan, you have two mistakes." He handed it to us. "Here, keep it. Go to your room now and rest or something. Dinner is at 6:00."
Well...that was awesome.
