The two of them descended from the bus. It is a sunny day so they could feel the warmth of the sun.
Above the gate was a large plate with carvings of the name of their school " Cygnus Institue of Technology".
Their school was one of the first-class universities in town. Although it had been established later than other schools - it does not pale in comparison with others. It was established years after the ASEA Cygnus Branch. Some people even said that the university was established and fully funded by the ASEA - which anyone can suggest because almost all of the courses in this university is related to space, astronomy and physics.
"Good mornig Sir." both of them greeted the guard.
The guard nooded and smiled in response. He was used to being greeted by Peter and Julie. He was a former military man but retired early to be with his family often.
Both of them entered the the school. Students are busy early in the morning because this week is the last week of classes. Some are practicing a presentation; some are busy chit-chatting with their classmates; some are busy making their projects; some are waiting for their classes.
The CIT have many buildings and offices. There is a building for colleges, high school and elementary levels. There are also buildings for student clubs.
"Hey Peter, wanna join the basketball team and play for our club - we are missing two member slots to play for the Semester- End." a student of Peter's age with a good build shouted as he was approaching them. His eyes landed on Julie, he knew that she was a friend of Peter.
There is a lot of student clubs - one example is Peter's club. Sports and academic excellence is the aim of their club - Peter joined this club; first reason is they are required to join a club and second is this is the only club that bets suits him. Student clubs would usually form teams to participate in the Semester- End.
Peter have already thought of a hundred reasons to refuse his offer. It was not that he did want to play for the club but because he did not know how to play basketball. So ge flatly refused, " Nah - I think I'm gonna pass. I still have to review for the entrance exams."
"Oh I thought so... you can also try join some academic contests." that student felt dejected bht still smiled, "Ok bye, I need to go now - I still need to hook in some players." he bade farewell to Peter and Julie.
"Oh, I forgot - I still have my Physics exam. Gotta go Julie, bye." Peter said while hurrying towards his classroom. "See you at the bus." he added.
'Bye Peter', Julie sighed. She also walk to her classroom. Peter was always like that - always enthusiastuc when it comes to hi studies. He never want to be late for even a second. It was just weird that he had always been in a hurry and panicky state these days.
'Maybe he is just excited of graduating from senior high school.' Julie thought to herself as she slowly made her way to ger class.
....
In Peter's Physics classroom~
Peter ran in a hurry, afraid that he would be late eventhough his class begins in 10 minutes time. When he reached the classroom, he was sweating all over and trying hard to catch his breath. He roamed his gazed around to find a seat.
"Here.. here.. here my friend. I have already reserved a seat for you." a hobbit student called him. This student is Martin, Peter's only best friend in class. He is nicknamed hobbit as he had a cute height - like a hobbit.
"Hey there Martin - hehehe - you really don't have to do that next time." Peter noticed there are still two seats near Martin. Martin is a good friend. Althougb he was not as smart as Peter, he had a good heart which us why Peter befriended him. They first met in the enrollment when they were still freshmen, since then they always hang up together - in the school of course.
"So...um - have you studied about today's exam. It's not that I haven't studied but I just don't get the topic at all." Martin said in low tone trying to act pitiful. "Can you explain some of the highlights to me? We still have a lot of time before the exam starts. Please!" Martin pleaded.
"Okay, okay I would of course help you. Here is a reviewer that I made, since I already finished my review you can borrow it." Peter was not the kind of student who couldn't even spare a reviewer for a friend.
"Woah! - thank you, thank you my friend. You are truly a good person. This would really help me a lot. All the time - hehehe." Martin was delighted when he got hold of the reviewer. Well, this was not the first time that he had asked for Peter's help.
"Okay now, get on reading I have explained each concept briefly in there so it would be very easy to catch." Peter explained, then he added "Our teacher would be arriving soon so you better get quick with it."
"Okay, okay!" Martin was full of smiles.
Peter is more than ready for the exam so he just relax his mind. There are 25 students in their section - so its not really that messy wgen tgere is no teacher - add to that, it is exam day. He looked outside. The clouds were like cotton glued to the vast, emtpty, blu sky. Moments later, he was lost in his thoughts. He already had a hundred questions in his mind like; what if there is really extraterrestrial life?; what if our universe is just inside a playhouse in another universe?; what if there is a parallel universe out there and there was an exact same you in one of the planets. The were so many what ifs that flooded his mind that doesn't seem to have an end.
'Hey Peter' , while he was in a trance, he heard a voice calling his name. When he tried to locate the origin of the voice, he was amazed to see that there was an angel - Yes! an angel - waving at him. His heart was filled with happiness. She had a face...'Wait - wait, I was inside the classroom a moment ago.' he seemed to realize.
When he came to reality, it was still hazy but he could actually see that angel who was waving at him a moment ago.
'Shit, this couldn't be real!' he rubbed his eyes.
"Hey Peter, can I borrow a book from you?" the angel asked with a wide smile affixed to her face.
