Beautiful Awakening

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 45

NO CONFIDENCE

Teacher’s started coming in for our normal daily lessons which as usual I paid less attention, lessons these days normally annoy me to death, it’s not that I am a lazy student but because almost all the lessons we’re being taught in school felt like a strand of memory that I had access to at any time, coupled with all the library sessions and quiet times I spent devouring my books how will I keep on learning the same thing everyday?

Joshua walter! Will you please stand up, the voice of our physics teacher interrupted me from my thoughts, I stood up rather quickly with a look of confusion, what was the last word I said she asked with a stern expression, uh…m..m, I wasn’t paying attention ma! I replied scratching my head nervously, then she said, you seriously weren’t paying attention? Do you think it’s an easy feat to teach? alright I want you to explain the reason why water wets glass. Now you know people who are very intelligent, I mean super intelligent, they usually get excited when asked a question and like every other genius I was also excited, that moment I could literally feel as if only me and the teacher was the only one present in the class, the reason why water wets glass Is because of the… I paused as I noticed the looks of mockery surrounding me, even the little confidence which was building itself within me shattered the moment I caught the sight of Kelvin giggling. Because of what? The teacher asked when I wasn’t speaking anymore, I don’t know the answer I said as I bowed my head down in embarrassment. Seriously? You have to make sure you pay attention whenever you are in my class the physics teacher said sternly then she removed her gaze on me before saying to the class, can anyone explain the reason why water wets glass? i didn’t remember to sit down after that moment it was Elena who held my hand before I came back to myself. When I looked at her, she had an expression which said ‘why didn’t you answer the question’, I removed my gaze from her to look at the teacher who was pointing at Anna currently. Apart from my Elena and David which were my friends I had a good impression of Anna due to the way she reacted when I bumped into her the other day, I certainly was expecting a slap or even more when I bumped into her that day because that is literally what everyone other person in the class would do if they were in her shoes. When the teacher pointed to her she stood up diligently and said, the reason why water wets glass is because of the force of attraction between the molecules that exist between them, well you tried at least you said something the teacher said looking at me with an unsatisfied expression, anyone else she asked.
