( Chapter 9 : Eevian )
Note that Eevian is pronounced as e-vi-an . Thanks for the reviews .
It is the next day following the food fair . Pirika is now in Cambridge , she is already sitted down in the lecture centre . Pirika is now taking out her books and stationery . After doing so , Pirika peeled open her worn-out textbook ( as she revised too many times ) and started to revise the next chapter again . The professor came into class in a magnificent way , very atmospheric , and behind him followed a simply walking boy . The boy did not seemed to be much affected by the sense of geniously workings that the professor gave off , he seemed confident and awfully smart . The boy had brownish-black hair , which is brown hair homogeneously mixed with black hair . He was unbelievably handsome . He has hazen brown eyes , rich and clear . His whole face poses a sort of attitude . Boyish yet smart . Charming yet fierce . ( Sorry , I really don't know how to discribe boys . ) All the girls gasped when he lifted his face to look at the class . And Pirika who does not really notice this kind of things , remain really , truthfully normal .
The professor waved for the boy to stand on the front steps of the lecturing stage next to himself . After so , he formally introduced the boy with plenty of obvious pride about the boy .
" This boy , students , is a learning professor from Oxford Academy . At such a young age , he has already been qualified by the Oxford University as a professor and a top one at that ! " the professor exclaimed , after that he looked momentarily at the class wanting some kind of response so that his speech would not be meanless .
Then , as though replying to his want of response , a chatter began among the girls excitedly , a low grumbling sound of disapproval from the boys , and of course the intelligent but hushed converse of the nerdys and genius ones . Then the professor waved his hands once as though a conductor silencing his orchestra . The lecture centre was immediately silent .
" The Oxford university has formally requested for Cambridge academy to train him as a lecturer . But of course , he has already been trained in Oxford academy and will be working there after the completion of this practice . " The professor paused a while before speaking again .
" He will be training in Cambridge for a month . First half , he will be observing as I teach and the second he will personally take over the class . And so now , I shall allow him to introduce himself to all of the students . You may begin professor ."
The boy nodded at the professor and took a step forward .
" Class , my name is Eevian . I will be observing all of you for half a month and will be teaching for the next half . My style of teaching will be vastly different from professor Kam here , but I believe that all of you are intelligent students and will get use to it fast . If any of you have any questions to ask , do ask it directly in class so that the others may learn too . Now , does anyone have any questions to ask ? "
The girls immediately shot up their hands . And Eevian randomly chose one .
" Oh ! Oh ! Professor Eevian sir , how old are you exactly ? "
" I am the same age as all of you here . And class , you may simply call me Eevian . " ( note that everyone in class is 16 and classes are grouped according to age and subject . )
Than , Eevian picked out another student , a boy .
" Hey Eevian , you better not mess with the girls or I'll not care whether you're professor or not , you'll get it hard . "
" I won't mess with girls I don't like . Mind your language , I still am your professor ." Eevian said in his boyish and yet dark tone , sweeping away a length of hair from his face , making all the girls in class gasp .
After that the unworldly handsome boy took a step back , talked to the professor a little and went to seat in a corner of the lecturer's stage . The girls in the class were immensely excited today , chatting in lessons so much times that the professor had to glare furiously at them to keep the noise down . The girls peeked at Eevian any chance they could get , turning their heads so fast that it hurt when Eevian started to notice someone staring at him .
Eevian noticed a particular girl who was different from the rest who were acting strange --- Pirika . That blue haired girl at a corner of the lecture centre , paying her attention to the lesson while the rest of the class seemed restless . " Hmmmm , strange . " he thought . Then the professor made his voice extremely loud , he announced .
" Students , we are going to have a project about Physics , the famous formula Emcc ( as my computer cannot process square , so ccc square . ) . All you are going to research how Albert Einstein invented the famous formulae and what is it all about . The project is due two weeks after . Groups of five please , after all of your group members have gathered yell to me . "
And so , the students all clustered up in patches in the centre and Pirika was left all alone . The previous incident of betrayal had left her quite friendless in this class , her true friends were all not able to qualify for this class . The popular girls who betrayed her , they threatened everyone to not get close to her . Seeing the six clusters and her classmates all smirking at her , Pirika was about to cry . Then the professor asked .
" Well , Pirika , you'll have to join one of the groups then . "
" Any groups willing to allow Pirika to join ? "
Upon seeing no groups volunteer , the professor frowned .
" Pirika is also one of your classmates , how can you exclude her out of things ? "
But still , the class was silent as though the world was going to end and all of them were stunned .
" Class ? "
Pirika was about to cry very hard and very sad . Why did they have to treat her like this ? What had she done wrong ? She did not want the professor to continue asking , she did not want to plead for their approval . She had done nothing wrong . Why should she be deemed to such a lowly extent when she had not done any wrong at all ? Pirika took a deep breath and swallowed her tears .
" They are meanies . " Pirika thought angrily .
Pirika raised her hand and requested .
" Professor Kam , may I please do the project individually ? "
" Well okay Pirika , but it'll be very tough . The project is a very difficult one . "
" It's okay , professor . Thanks ! " Pirika smiled happily . She liked professor Kam very much . He was very smart and very caring . He was the one who gave her courage to continue her studies in Physics . Pirika liked him very very much .
Then Eevian stood up .
" Class , why are all of you so uncaring ? Pirika is also one of your studymates . " Eevian said in his deep and boyish voice .
" Since she has no partners in the project , I will personally guide her along and be her acting partner . "
An audible cry of disappointment came from the girls in the class . Professor Kam gave a nod of agreement and contentment . Pirika was delighted to have partner for the project and a professor even !
