Chapter 4

"Can you tell me what's science is?" Ms. Hearth asked them. She is their Science teacher. The woman is in her 50's but she doesn't look like an old woman. Her appearance is a cool and blends in with this generation.

Devi raised her hand. "Yes, Miss?" Their teacher asked.

"I'm Devi Eliazar."

"Okay Devi, do you have an idea on what science is?" Miss Hearth asked with a smile.

"Of course, I believe that we, are science." She said.

Her teacher smiles widely now. "How can you say so?"

"Well, from the very beginning of time, this world that we're living in, it has explanation. Like, why we don't float even if the earth is orbiting the sun? It's because of gravity. So I supposed that human is science. Because we're the one who discovered this things, this phenomena, everything." Devi explained and sat down.

Her teacher is speechless, she is in the right section. She remembered the same vibe of Devi before. "Miss Eliazar, nice insight. I like your new approach to this subject. Can I know your middle name?"

"Thanks Ma'am. Its Morales." Devi replied.

As soon as Eva Hearth heard the name, her memories from the past is rushing in. Dein Morales, the most notorious delinquent of this school in her time.

Miss Eva smiled. "Any ideas?" She asked.

Tavius raised his hand. "Yes, young man."

Tavius stand up. "Science is the one who makes us alive." He said.

"Can you elaborate it more?"

"From the day we are a fetus, until we grow up. The whole body system of us keeps pumping, for keeping us buzzing. Because of the people who wonder why we are alive, we know it is because of our heart and brain. That's is science for all of us." He said and sat down. After that explanation, his classmates applauded him.

"Way did go Greek boy!" Charles shouted while clapping his both hands.

"Go Tavius!" Sarah and Shane cheered. The identical twins of Class 1-A.

"What good opinions you have! Because of that, each of you will share your views about science. Let's start in the back."

In the back row left side, Charles is smiling so widely. There are two reasons: 1 because he is confident in his answer and 2 his answer is funny.

"Okay, let's start with you young man. Name please." Miss Eva said.

"I'm Charles Cortez, Ma'am!"

"Energetic, huh? Continue."

"Ehem... Science is science Ma'am." He said. His classmates laugh in his answer. He heard Angela whispers something to Frank and they both laugh. He shrugged that off and continue.

Miss Eva nod in response, signaling him to go on.

"Science is a complex thing. I said that it is science is as it is, because its unique and discuss all the happenings around us."

Miss Eva smiled. "Nice answer Charles. Good job."

"Thanks, Ma'am!" He replied then sat down.

"Beat that ha ha." Charles whispered to Angela.

Angela elbowed him, hard. "Aw!" Charles whispered then chuckled.

"Next."

Angela is displeased with the situation. Not that she doesn't want to share, she wants to end all this drama and be the last to answer the freaky question. She and Devi are the tops of this class follow by Frank. They are not A student who beat up the others. Instead they are helping each other and enjoying their studying journey.

Angela stand up. "What's your name, young lady?" Miss Eva asked.

"Angela Ma'am."

Their teacher nod, signals her to start. "Well science is the 'thing' that explains it all by the help of our belief in God. Even though, some scientists rejects God there are some scientists who claim his doings. From nothing into something, the making of anti matter. So I believe that science is holy and divine." Angela explained.

After that her classmates applauded her for her answer. Devi in the corner is thinking why the hell her classmates did not clap or appreciate her insight? Why?

"Thank you Angela, next please."

Its Frank's turn now. He is pretty serious with everything and in that one person.

"In my opinion, science is a serious matter. Because it talks about us, rather our world. Everybody must know it and appreciate it for the greater good of everybody." He explained and sat down.

"Your adviser said that your arrange in alphabetical order, starting from the back. So, you are Frank. Thank you for the serious answer." Miss Eva said and giggled.

Some of his classmates also laughed. So the sharing goes on and everybody have a great time giving their opinions. Miss Eva is satisfied with this class.

"I think she knew my mother." Devi suddenly said to Angela. Angela switch places with Elle so that, Devi and her could talk.

As soon as Miss Eva leave, Devi is glad and at the same time, feels a little discomfort about their teacher.

Angela knows what Devi is worrying about. "So, what's the problem with that?" She asked.

"I don't exactly know Gela. Maybe she'll judge me?" Devi said worriedly.

Angela is kind of surprised on what Devi is thinking. She is the 'I don't care on what people say about me' type.

"Hey, don't be like that. If she judge you, she must did it in out first year right? Stop worrying much, okay?" Angela said to Devi.

"Yah, you have a point. You know my mom's past doing right. I don't want that to define me." She replied.

"Of course it does not." Angela said while smiling.

Dein Morales, is at her gym The Platinum. This gym of hers has been around for 10 years. Her gym is all around the Philippines and even outside the country. The gym is kind of filled, most of it are celebrities. She is proud of having her dream come true.

She went to her office to change some clothes. She'll be picking up her daughter. They are quietly look alike from the physique but not in the face. Devi's face is more like her father that gives her the unique American-European look. Dein is laughing when she remembers Devi as a child who doesn't like girl stuff. She is trying her best for her daughter. She is her life.

When Dein is finished fixing herself, her assistant knocked on the door.

"Come in." She said.

The assistant walked in and gave her a phone. "There's a call for you Ma'am." The assistant informed and walked away.

Dein put the phone on her left ear. "Who is this?" She asked.

"Hello, darling." The man on the other line said.

Dein surely know who is that man. Its Devi's father.
