Chapter 3: Chapter 3 School days part 1 (edited)
As I'm stepping outside the house, I can see a Mister Handy mowing the neighborhood lawn. Noticing my presence, the robot greeting me. By waving one of his multi tools, "good morning, Mr. Ray. We are having such a nice weather today, isn't it?" Smiling, I greet him back by waving my arm. While pushing my scooter, "good morning, Codsworth. Sorry, but I can't stay and talk some more. I'm in a bit of a rush, bye!" Riding my scooter, I rev up the engine and step on the gas, "vroom!" Through the wind, I can hear Codsworth from the distance, "Goodbye, Mr. Ray. Careful on the road." I'm shouting back while waving my arm, "okay."
Going Into full throttle, my scooter goes as fast as it can. While dodging any incoming pedestrian or other vehicle that on the way. Feeling slow, I'm decided to take a shortcut. Forcing me to drive past someone backyard and some seedy alley. Before long, I can see my school in the distance. Grinning, I lean my body, hoping it can gain some speed. While muttering, "come on, I can see the school now." But, the bell start ringing when I'm near the school, "Crap!" In a hurry I park the scooter at random, while scrambling toward my class. As the first period starting.
As I'm entering the classroom. A gloomy voice greeting me with a scold, "well-well -well. Look who decided to come." Scared, I look at my gloomy teacher. Mr. Soros, the most feared teacher in this school. No student ever dared to make a mess in his class. As He has a very intimidating presence, with a piercing gaze. That can make children cry when he looks at them. And with a height of seven, foot tall, making him a literal giant in the student eye. With a piercing gaze, he asks, "Mr. McAllister. Don't you know the consequences of being late to my class?"
Frightened, I'm nodding like a woodpecker. Satisfied, looking at my reaction, he's pointing at my empty seat, "I will let this slide for now. So get back to your seat." Without second thought, I take my usual seat. Seeing me, a lanky nerdy blond boy, sitting beside me. Start whispering to me, "Man, you are so lucky Mr. Soros is in such a good mood today, Ray." Curious, I ask, "oh, what happen?" Grinning, George whispers. "Well, I heard that Mr. Soros finally selected as a candidate for our new school principal."
Out of the blue, Mr. Soros hitting the table, as I try asking where George get his info. Everyone attention drawn toward him, "Settle down, everyone. Mr. Ray, why don't you come up here and answer this question." Nervous, I walk toward the white board and solving the formula with ease. Perplexing, Mr. Soros, as he's making sure my answer is correct. While I'm standing in a daze, not paying attention to him. As in the corner of my eye, I can see a bar appear. Informing me that I earn a pitiful amount of Exp.
Vexed, Mr. Soros snapping me out from my stupor with a snort,"Hmph. It looks like you paid attention to my lesson, huh." Irritated, Mr. Soros noticing George chuckle at him. So, the teacher turning his attention to George. And point his finger at him while shouting, "you! Why don't you come here and answer this question?" Distressed, George stands up and walk to the front. Turning his head toward me. Teacher Soros says, "you can get back to your seat now, young man." Nodding, I get back to my seat. As George pleading for my help. With his eyes, hoping I would help him. Solving the question on the whiteboard.
Sighing, I decide to help him to solve those questions. With a hand sign, only our friends knows. George is one of my childhood friend. A kind, nerdy rich kid that always ready to help his friend. His father is a stockbroker and the owner of a canning factory here. So, he's pretty loaded if you ask me. Even after my help, George failing to solve the question. Helpless, I ignore him and stroking my chin, thinking. Hmm, it looks like I can earn exp in another way after all. And with the rate that I earn the exp from solving a mathematical question. I need to do it around 20 more times to level up.
But, I need to verify it first. Do I earn Exp from only solving Math formula? Or can, I earn Exp from solving variety question from my textbook. So first, I'm solving the mathematical question in my textbook. And I find I can do indeed earn Exp this way. But, seems like I only earn Exp if I'm solving the whole book. Because I don't see any bar telling me I earn Exp after solving half of the book. Of a sudden, the bell ringing as I'm engrossing myself solving a math question. Mr. Soros giving us an assignment to complete. Snapping me out, after taking the assignment. George and I go to our locker.
While walking, George noticing something on my hand. "It's rare seeing you wearing that Pip-Boy Ray. If I'm not mistaken, you hate wearing it. Because of its cumbersome design, right?" George looking at my Pip-Boy with curiosity. Defensive, I try making an excuse, "I forgot to put it back after checking it out. Because I'm late for school, and yeah. I still think that the design of this thing is cumbersome, though." Nodding, he starts talking again, "so, Ray. How's your part of the project going?" Distressed, I decide to tell George the truth. Stopping in my track, I bow down, and apologize. "I'm sorry. But there's an accident yesterday. And the data have completely wiped out."
Shocked, George stop dead in his track, "what! The data wiped out?!" I'm nodding with a grim expression reconfirming it, "yeah. My terminal exploded out of nowhere. Checking the storage, I find the data gone." Calming down, he asks me with a hint of concern, "are you alright, Ray?" I show him my pathetic muscle, "see, I'm alright. I mean, why I'm here in the first place. When something fatal happen to me." George, breathing a sigh of relief, asking, "can you, rewrite the code? If I'm not mistaken, you have an old terminal, right?"
I'm scratching the back of my head in shame. Tangled, hearing his question. Sighing, I'm shaking my head, "well no. My old terminal computing power isn't strong enough. To program such a complex machine." Frustrated, George turn silent as he opens his locker, while opening mine. But our body turning stiff, as the most beautiful senior walk by us. Enrapturing everyone seeing her. The senior name is Jessica, a redhead with a highly-developed body. And man, she loves strutting her asset with such confident. Making the other boys hot on her heels.
Our eyes staying on Jessica, until she's walking away from our sight. Sighing, George mutter, "man, Jessica is sure hot, huh? Alas, she's out of our league." I'm nodding in agreement, until our conversation getting interrupted. By someone slapping both of our shoulder without any warning. A girl standing between us with her hand on our shoulder. While she's shouting in excitement, "What's up nerd!" Both of us wince in pain by the slap. Holding his sore shoulder, George scolding the girl hitting us, ow! Damn it, Nicole, don't you realize that you have the strength of a gorilla."
Hearing his insult, Nicole glaring at George, making him flinch, shutting him up. The cute and sporty short-haired girl that hit us is one of my childhood friend, Nicole. She is an out-and-out tomboy with a boundless energy. Her father is an overprotective police officer. That make her train in self-defense since she's a child. Her strength is no joke, you know. I once saw her broke a concrete pillar with a punch. As a kid, we used to play together me, George and Nicole, we are such a great team. And she is the one dragging the two of us on a wacky but fun adventure through the neighborhood.
