This is obviously chappppppppppptttaaaasa 3. Anyways. I want to ask if there's any problem with the GLOPT in this chapter let me know. Because both our world and fallouts are different to an extent. So if I made a mistake please let me know in a review. I'm not going to re-write the chapter, but I will note it for future reference so I don't make the same mistake twice thanks. (: Chapter 3. The G.L.O.P.T Nothing but noise. Kids horsing around, pencils flying through the air. I quickly looked to my right, there I saw him. The overseer. He was about 6 feet tall, he had long wavy white hair, and scary grey eyes. He didn't pay me any attention. The man just sat at Mrs Montgomery's desk starring at all of them. A little creeped out I looked back to the rest of the classroom and tried to find a seat. Typical I thought to myself. Somebody's sitting in my assigned seat. Nobody sits where there supposed to whenever we have a sub. I chose a seat in the second row closest to the door. Then I decided to get a good look at my surroundings. To my left there was a girl. Decent height, long jet black hair, some freckles, and dark blue eyes. I thought she looked pretty. She looked at me, I quickly averted her gaze, and turned around. Behind me was a kid named Carl, he was tall, wore glasses, and he had a dark complexion. The kid you see in your class thats always writing something down. In front of me there's a kid a bit taller then me, light blonde hair, and a little chubby. Not the kind of chubby kid you make fun of, but the kind that gives you a mean look that basically means choose your next words carefully. By now everybody was chatting amongst themselves. I took a book out of my back pack, and began to read. I do wonder what this test will be like, and if I'll even pass it. I'm shooting for at least a level two. Theres so much pressure it's almost unbearable. My father got a level one rating. Damn it! I hate being the son of a genius. "So umm what book are you reading?" I turn to my left and see that girl...she was smiling at me. "Well are you going to tell me?" she said jokingly "right umm you wouldn't like it." I said almost sadly. "Try me" me the girl replied keeping her ecstatic attitude. "Right" I continued. "The Secret of Modern Philosophy" it's basically about materialism and how philosophy and science intervene. Currently the author is explaining that science is...or was making humanity more mechanized, and making us delude both theological, and philosophical standpoints. "What"? the girl said looking at me confused. I sighed then I replied "Let me put it to you this way. Science make religion go BOOM." "are you calling me stupid?" she asked annoyed. Before I could reply the bell rung. A couple students came in. The overseer stood up. His grey eyes starring directly into theirs. "Your late" The room was in absolute silence the loud noise reduced to nothing but the creaks and small sounds from the vault walls. The students looked at the rest of the class for support, but none was given. One student replied with a weak voice. "S-Sorry sir we were. The overseer stood up, and slammed his hands on the desk, and screamed "GET OUT!" "Sir plea-" NOW! There was a terrible echo that gave me chills.. By now one of the kids had a tear in his eye. "but what about the G.L.O.P.T? They asked YOU BOTH FAIL! Both kids slowly walked out. The overseer shut the vault door behind them. "Well so much for forgiveness" the girl said lightly. I looked at her and said "tell me about it" I quietly closed my book and placed it into my backpack. The overseer slowly paced back and forth in front of the classroom. He began to speak. "As you all know today we will be taking the General Logic Operation Placement Test. Better known as the G.L.O.P.T you have exactly 30 minutes to complete this assignment. The test compromises of different rankings 5-1 greatest to least. More than 50% of you will fail with a 4-5 rating. 40% will pass barely with a three 3 level rating, and only 10% of you will exceed with a rating of 2-1. Keep in mind. If you fail this test you'll repeat the grade." "That's not fair!" I turned around one kid in the back of the classroom was screaming his brains out. "Your going to make us spend another year in this dump if we fail the test!?" "Would you rather spend a year outside of the vault?" The kid sat back down but I could tell he was angry. Great and I thought not exceeding was something to worry about. Man do I hate the overseer. How the he'll did a guy like that get to such a high position in power? "Now if there's no more Interruptions" Oh great he's talking again I think to myself. "The rules" he continued Your kidding me were not five we know how to take a test. I whispered. "Rule 1. No cheating. If I catch anyone with there eyes on someone else's paper. You FAIL" "Rule 2. No talking. If I catch anyone talking i'll assume your cheating, and you'll FAIL." "Rule 3. No asking questions during the test or once again you will FAIL." "Now if there's no comments let's begin. The overseer passed back the test, and everyone began working. Nothing but the sound of pencil hitting paper, the overseer was watching everyone. I look down and quickly scan each question. "Funny" I think. I thought there was only 30 questions. I wrote both my name, and the date at the top of the paper and began the G.L.O.P.T 1. Who was the 1st president of the United States Of America?
