(CONTINUED FROM THE LAST EPISODE)
.
“Ola! Ola!!” Chorusman barked as he hurrily followed me to the girl’s sit.
“Here is the money for the food I mistakenly and erroneously decanted.” I uttered as I stretched my hand forth holding the 1000 naira note, she looked straight into my eyes and felt dejected.
“Don’t worry; you can go with the money.” She replied facing down.
“No, you can have the money; I am to pay for my misdeed.” I replied sincerely.
“Please just go with the money, I think I am okay with everything that happened.” She riposted dejectedly.
“Now that you insist on not collecting the money, I think I will just leave with the money, thank you, such won’t happen next time.” I pleaded and turned to leave.
.
“Guy, I don’t know what’s always wrong with your head, she insisted on not taking the money yet you are forcing her to collect the money…” Daniel uttered frankly.
“She has rejected the money so forget that event.” I blasted loudly.
Shortly, a female teacher entered the hall and introduced herself as Mrs. Anita Frank. She further stated that she is the assigned science class teacher; she led us science students out of the hall to the classroom. The classroom was coloured white, moderate in size, drawing of some mammalian animals with the likes of the skeletal system of a human being, the nervous system, the skin, some organelles organisms to mention few were drew on the wall which beautify the classroom the more, three fans were electrified and are working perfectly, there was a detained room in the class which is locked with an ancient key, I guess the room is the classroom store, the windows is made of aluminums and rods, the chairs and tables were segmented into three roles; right, left and middle, the classroom is in block with the science staff room and very close to the principal’s office. I prickle Daniel and he responded angrily, I notified him of an empty sit close to a window at the second role of the left side, I led the way to the sit and Daniel’s follow, a guy join us and we make up the required three on a sit. Mrs. Anita addresses and advices us to be good and reliable. She narrated some story of some irresponsible students who were rusticated by the school authority.

“I think I will have to rearrange you, boys can’t sit on a role and the girls too, you have to mingle with one another since this is a mixed school, now all of you fall out.” Mrs. Anita said and commanded, we frown our faces as we move out from the class.
“I will be grouping you and I will also assign a group leader of each group, you will also introduce yourself to me as the grouping is going on, understood?” Mrs. Anita explained as he started grouping us, she grouped me with Daniel and the girl I decanted her food earlier, Daniel, the girl and I were sitting on the same sit, this made me uncomfortable but I just have to obey the class teacher commands. Mrs. Anita finished her task, she called the register and leaves the class.
Shortly, the Physics teacher came into the class.

“Good morning students.” He began.
“Good morning sir.” We replied standing before the teacher.
“I am Mr. Bright Kayode, I will be taking you Physics; I know the subject might sound strange to some of you, but it is a compulsory subject and one of the main science subject.
“I heard that there are many genuine and scholars among you, I think learning will be easier and faster with this class. Let me begin with the introduction of my subject.” Mr. Bright paused reading the student’s attentions and seriousness.
“Does anyone of you have any idea of what physics is as a science subject?” Mr. Bright asked holding a chalk.
I looked round the class and I could see no one is raising his or her hand, I know the answer but I was just scared and afraid of the numbers of eyes that will stared at me if I signified I knew the answer.
“But I was told that there many brilliant and intelligent students are in this class… anyway I don’t expect you to know the answer.” Mr. Bright paused.
I slowly raised my hand up, I could see the attentions of the whole students in the class were shifted to me, I could feel my heart pounding and thumping, the answer seems to have vanished from my head.
“What have I done? Why should I raise my hand up? But I know the answer I think I will just close my eyes and answer the question…” I thought looking that the staring student’s.
“Yes… you.” Mr. Bright uttered pointing to me with the chalk in his hand.
I take a deep breath and I look directly at the teacher as I begin.
“Until the end of the 18th century, the study of material things was treated as a single aspect of human thought and it is called NATURAL PHILOSOPHY. But, as knowledge increased, it was found necessary to divide the study into two main branches, (the physical sciences and the biological sciences). The biological sciences deal with living things, while the physical sciences are concerned with the properties and behavior of non-living things.” I paused looking at Mr. Bright, I could see he is so much interesting with my explanation, he was atoned with my points, he opened his mouth wide in surprised, I looked at the students and I could see they were much more interested in my explanations, I faced Mr. Bright and continued.
“The two main physical sciences are Physics and Chemistry. It is quite difficult to make a clear-cut distinction between the two, but, broadly speaking, chemistry deals with the action of one kind of substance on another while physics is concerned mainly with matter in relation to energy. For elementary purposes, the study of physics may be grouped under such headings as mechanics, properties of matter, heat, wave motion, light, magnetism and electricity, but this list is by no means exhaustive. At a higher level we have particles physics which is concerned with the ultimate particles of which matter is composed; nuclear physics deals with atomic nuclei and plasma physics relates to research on the production of energy by processes similar to those believed to be responsible for the sun’s energy, in 1912 a physics scientist defined physics as a science subject that deals with the study of natural phenomenon such as eclipse, thunder and rainbow. But in the modern physics, physics can simply be defined as a pure science that deals with the study of the properties of matter and their relations with energy.” I concluded looking at Mr. Bright.
.
“Like seriously, I don’t even know what to say, I am really amazed, I don’t know we have a researcher as in a scientist in this class, Comprehensive High School (C.H.S) is really blessed to have such a wonderful student. Please sit down. Can he get a standing ovation from everyone of you?” Mr. Bright expressed happily, the students stand on their feet and gave me a round of applaud. I feel on top of the world.
The physics teacher further with his explanation on physics as a science subject, he elucidated us on the relationship of physics with other subject like, biology, chemistry, geography, economics, mathematics and so on.
Shortly, the bell was ring for change of lesson and Mr. Bright leaves the class for the Biology teacher.
“My first in school was partly fun and partly boring, the teachers only came into the class to introduce themselves and their subjects, the day was fun because I was doing the answers of the teacher’s question and that has made me more popular and known to the teacher. The bell was rang for closing time, I picked up my #10 polythene bag and hurried to the bus stop, I entered the bus only to find out that I was sitting next to the lady I decanted her food earlier that day…
