This has been stuck in my head for a while now so I'm writing it out.

It's different than the other stories.

I hope you like it.

Do review. =D

First impression?

Shit I'm late!

I got up in a rush!

What had happened last night?

I did my normal routine and wore a red skin tight shirt which matched my painted red nails, with white skinny jeans and red converse.

Yes, I was slim and tall.

I didn't have time to do anything to my hair so I just brushed it and left it open. My auburn hair fell down till my waist and twirled around freely.

I wore a pendent with the alphabet J laced with diamonds. I pretty much wore it all the time. It was very dear to me.

I put on a nice shade of lip gloss and blush on that added color to my pale skin.

I wore mascara to thicken my eye lashes and make my cinnamon brown eyes stand out.

I rushed downstairs and out the door.

My maid screamed behind me "What about breakfast?" in here southern country accent.

"Later! I'm late!"

"Again?"

I smiled a brilliant smile as I got in my black hummer.

I sped.

Soon I was in school.

I was late so I went to the office.

I grabbed my schedule and got a slip from the headmaster to allow me to go to class.

He was kind enough to accompany me to class.

"Hello Professor Macalister. We have a new student please allow her to sit in class."

The atheist professor of philosophy nodded as the headmaster smiled at me and left.

I took my seat at the end because there was no space left in the lecture hall.

Professor Macalister discussed today with his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty..

He asks me, one of his new students to stand and I stood.

Prof: "So you believe in God?"

I: "Absolutely, sir."

Prof: "Is God good?"

I: "Sure."

Prof: "Is God all-powerful?"

I: "Yes."

Prof: "My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?"

I remained silent.

Prof: "You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?"

I: "Yes."

Prof: "Is Satan good?"

I: "No."

Prof: "Where does Satan come from?"

I: "From...God.. ."

Prof: "That's right. Tell me Young lady, is there evil in this world?"

I: "Yes."

Prof: "Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?"

I: "Yes."

Prof: "So who created evil?"

I didn't answer.

Prof: "Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?"

I: "Yes, sir."

Prof: "So, who created them?"

I had no answer so I remained quiet.

Prof: "Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, Young Lady...Have you ever seen God?"

I: "No, sir."

Prof: "Tell us if you have ever heard your God?"

I: "No, sir."

Prof: "Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?"

I: "No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't."

Prof: "Yet you still believe in Him?"

I: "Yes."

Prof: "According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?"

I: "Nothing. I only have my faith."

Prof: "Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.."

I: "Professor, is there such a thing as heat?"

Prof: "Yes."

I: "And is there such a thing as cold?"

Prof: "Yes."

I: "No sir. There isn't."

The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.

I continued: "Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. .. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it."

There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.

I carried on: "What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?"

Prof: "Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?"

I: "You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light...But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?"

Prof: "So what is the point you are making, young Lady?"

I: "Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed."

Prof: "Flawed? Can you explain how?"

I: "Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?"

Prof: "If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do."

I: "Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"

The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.

I: "Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?"

The class uproared and clapped.

I: "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?"

I looked around.

The class broke out into a roar of laughter.

I: "Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so.. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?"

The room went silent.. The professor stares at me, his face unfathomable.

Prof: "I guess you'll have to take them on faith, young lady."

I: "That is it sir... The link between man & God is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive."

The whole class had an uproar.

Prof: "What's your name young lady?"

I: "Jennifer Arden."

Prof: "alright sit down. That was quiet a load full of philosophy. I like you already."

He smiled.

I sat down and everyone clapped.

"Alright silence" professor Macalister then carried on with his lecture.

I sat there bored. I already knew everything.

Yes, I was beauty with brains.

Soon my train of thoughts vanished as the professor said "I'm sure Jennifer will be here everyday so stop staring at her and concentrate on my lecture!"

I smiled my brilliant smile again.

I guess when you put the professor where he belongs that's what I'll get. Stares.

I looked around bored.

To my right I noticed a girl and a guy cuddled up. Surely they were going out.

Then I saw a blond girl who wore pink and seemed bored, playing with her nails. A lot like one of the popular girls you saw here and there.

She caught my eye and smirked. I smiled back.

Then I saw another girl next to her. She wore beige, frowning at me.

She must be the one who was the popular girl's friend, next in line. Probably the jealous one.

Then I saw the girls sitting in front. They wore glasses. Probably the nerd type.

Then I saw a guy on the left.

One of them was wearing a red and white striped shirt.

Probably the jock type. He too was staring at me and when I saw him he smiled a flashy smile as if he was advertising for a toothpaste advertisement.

Then my eye caught another pair of eyes staring intently at me and my breath was caught in my throat.

That was the most breathtaking man I'd ever seen…

Like it? Hate it? Let me know!
