Chapter 8: The Bee Sting
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
It was two weeks for the school to be fixed. The students were finally at their rooms and studying for an event.
There is the Quiz Bee for the students. Each section will pick two representatives for each section. And whoever wins will have a reward (Whatever the principal decides, though.)
The students were excited (Maybe except for Kyoko...) for this. 9 is quite curious what was Quiz Bee. Especially he was new to this kind of event
Phineas: *to 9* You see Elijah, the Quiz Bee is one of the school's major events every time of the year.
9: Do you join in there?
Phineas: Yes, I do. *gestures to Dib* So does Dib...
Kyoko: They actually chose because Ms. Divino wants to. Well, except for Dib. He knew that Zim would join the Quiz Bee, so he stop Zim.
9: From joining?
Dib: From destroying the school!
Kyoko: Which he and Phineas got disqualified from ruining the game.
Dib: At least the school was saved.
Kyoko: But instead you got humiliated, remember?
The students (Except 9 and Dib) giggled as they remembered the incident of what happened in the school. Dib groaned in dismay, trying to tell them don't. 9 is completely confused.
9: Why? What happened in there?
Kyoko: Oh that was a long time ago, Elijah. We don't want to spoil that thing for Dib.
Finn: He already suffered from that incident.
9: *cocked his head to his left* I don't understand.
Kyoko: Of course you don't understand. You're new in here, you know.
Finn: We'll tell you what really happened if you're ready.
Dib: *to Finn and Kyoko* You better not!
9: *shyly* Maybe I shouldn't.
Mirai: Guys, Ms. Divino is coming!
The students went back to their proper seats. Aliana came in as Jet does, the boy gives a dark, arrogant look to Dib and Phineas for some reason.
Aliana seats on her chair with a white box that was placed on her table. 9 was curious as he look to the box, which made Jet annoyed.
9: Ms. Divino, what's that on your table?
Jet: *coughs* Empty Sack *coughs*
Aliana: *gave a look to Jet* I'm glad you have asked that question, Elijah. *puts the box to 9's table* You see students, tomorrow will be the Quiz Bee. And I know we were the only section that didn't win every year. After that last Quiz Bee was completely having a humiliating result to our section, I think this day will be having a different rule now. I will not choose any of you by will, but by this box. This box contains the names of the students.
She opens the box and reveals 11 names of the students written in a bee shaped paper.
1. Mordecai Quintel
2. Phineas Flynn-Fletcher
3. Mickey Mouse
4. Miles Prower
5. Lettuce Midorikawa
6. Dib Membrane
7. Finn Mertens
8. Kyoko Sakura
9. Mirai Hibino
10. Elijah Oppenheimer
11. Jet Zaraphil
She closes it after and returns to her table along with the box.
Aliana: Today we will be having an 'audition' to which of the students will be joining to the Quiz Bee. I already talked to the other teachers about this one.
Dib: Wait a minute, if you and the teachers are doing the 'audition' today. What about our lessons?
Jet: My mommy already talked about that situation-
Aliana: -And she said it's okay.
Jet: What the heck?!
Aliana: Don't even dare interrupt me! Whenever the class ends, the teachers will put their names on the box. And whoever got the most names, will be joining the Quiz Bee tomorrow. So class I suggest you have to review for English. You class will start any moment now.
The bell rang and Aliana left without saying a word from her. Geronimo came to the room seeing some nervous look on the students.
Geronimo: What's going - *sees the box* Oh, she told you about the Quiz Bee tomorrow.
Mordecai: She did.
Geronimo: So...what did she say after that?
Lettuce: We have to review.
Geronimo: Well since I was new to this kind of event, I'll give you a few minutes review. Then after that, we would go to the 'audition'.
Students (Except Jet): Yeah!
9: Mr. Stilton?
Geronimo: Yes, Elijah?
9: *mouth out* Thank you...
Geronimo: *smiles* Your welcome...I wish I could say that to him...

At their Foreign Language, they were having a group study since the teacher was absent. Some of their friends got used to the language they had acording to their mother language that is mostly Japanese, but the others were having a hard time to know the word since the words are different from English. For once they know, Foreign Language is one of the subjects that was officially now featured other than English, Math and Science before 9 came to the school. The language is called 'Filipino'.
During their group study, Kyoko suddenly raised her voice to Mordecai because of a mispronounced word.
Kyoko: What?! I thought I said it correctly!
Mordecai: We can't understand you if you kept your mouth full!
Kyoko: But I have to eat, you know! That's what people do when they have no idea, they have to eat with a full stomach!
Finn: Dude, you know we can't eat during class
Kyoko: But the teacher is absent! *groans in frustration* May I ask why we still have to do this?
Phineas: Because it's our subject in the Quiz Bee.
Dib: And we have to do it in order to win.
Kyoko: I know that. But If I were you guys, I would use magic or just kick the examiner's butt.
Mordecai: I don't know, dude. Remember the last time? Someone just disqualified because of that.
Kyoko: Well what other choices we have?
Dib: Don't worry, you're not the only one who has that problem.
Kyoko: I don't believe you. And besides all of you all aced the other subjects, even Elijah!
Mirai: Indeed, but I think he just studied hard all day.
Kyoko: Look, he just arrived in here and just aced them in 4 days! I mean what kind of a person can do that?
Unknown: Ako.
They turned around and saw Jet in the door. Kyoko glared at Jet because she knew that Jet said the Filipino word of 'Me' because he's actually a Filipino.
Mirai: Jet? Where have you been all this time?
Dib: And what took you so long?
Jet: Galing ako sa library.
9: What did he say?
Jet: I said I came from the library, Empty Sack. I don't want to be disturbed by some people who kept on having the same mistakes.
Kyoko: Hey!
Jet: What? It's true.
Kyoko: *stands up from her chair* For your information, Mr. Bully-stein Brain, I aced one subject just this year.
Jet: For Physical Education, that is. It's not counted because that subject is minor.
Kyoko: What?!
Jet: You were only good because you don't use too much of your peanut brain. Why don't you go back to Section Primaridante and study some easy Multiplication Tables than Algebra instead of staying in this high class Section. I think that's what fits you to that kind of brain.
The students were shock at this point. Whenever a student tries to bully Kyoko, things can get dirty. And this is not what the students want, but this will be the first time that 9 witness if what will happenen when you mess with her.
I won't accept this!
How dare that boy say that to me?!
He doesn't deserve to be in here.
He is a bully!
I can't accept bullies that mess with me or my classmates
He doesn't deserve to live
He must...must...
Kyoko: *fumes up*You ...YOU STUPID BULLY!
Kyoko furiously pins Jet up in the board. She squeezed her hands to his neck, chocking him. Everyone was scared. They feel like Kyoko is going to kill Jet. Mordecai spoke to Tails.
Finn: Holy-!
Mordecai: Tails, go to Ms. Divino. I think Kyoko's going to kill Jet.
Tails: Okay!
When Tails went out of the room, silence came to them, nobody moved. Kyoko is slowly killing Jet with her death grip, 9 stared at the event. In his point of view, this isn't right at all. He must do something. He knows that Jet doesn't like him, but Kyoko's way of payback is wrong.
Kyoko: You idiot...you stupid stupid bully...you're an idiot...
Jet: Wha-what...makes you say...th-t-that I'm an idiot? You're the one who is that kind of person.
Kyoko: SHUT UP! Or I'm going to rip your bones and beg for mercy...
Jet: Make...me...I'll call mommy if you did that...And I'll make sure...You'll kicked out.
Kyoko: *raised her right hand into fist* You made me do this.
9: Kyoko!
She turned to him without letting go of Jet. 9 stared at her, telling her to stop mentally. Kyoko's face slowly turned to grief. She knew that 9 is right, this isn't the right time to fight to Jet because of the consequences. Slowly, she let Jet go from her hands. Jet fell down gasping for air.
Aliana finally came to the room with Tails. Her face was boiling with anger and hidden grief.
Aliana: What is going on in here?!
Jet: *pants* Kyoko's...chocking...me...
Aliana: *to Kyoko* What did you do that for? You know I'll get mad to the principal because of you!
Kyoko: *points to Jet* He teased me!
Jet: I was telling the truth about her grade!
Kyoko: You weren't!
Jet: I am!
Kyoko: No, you're not! You son of a-
Jet: Why don't you say that word to my face?
Kyoko: Don't mind if I do!
Aliana: That's enough! Jet, you will go to your mother and Kyoko, you will go to Bridget. You two should be ashamed of yourselves of being a bad example of showing this kind of attitude of the Quiz Bee. I will cancel the audition and announced that Mirai and Elijah will be the contestants of the Quiz Bee for our section.
9: What?!
Mirai: What?!
Jet: What?!
Tails: But Ms. Divino, why?
Aliana: You see, Mr. Prower, Mirai and Elijah were the only ones I saw in the box with their names the most.
Phineas: But you came here just now.
Finn: Yeah, shouldn't you look at the box first then announced who will join.
Aliana: I have reasons so I don't need to look. *to the students (Except Kyoko and Jet)* The 9 of you, go to your rooms. *to Kyoko and Jet* And as for you two both of you are coming with me.
Aliana went out of the room with Kyoko and Jet. 9 saw Kyoko with her face filled with anger along with Jet, but not without Jet looking to 9 with 'You'll pay for this look'.
The students came to the room with confused looks, it doesn't make sense. Why Aliana would choose Mirai and 9 without looking to the box? Nobody knows for sure. But as for now, the students take a rest from that incident.

The Section Anima Faculty Room is where the teachers are in place whenever their lesson time with their students are finished. Those teachers are quite different than the usual teachers in the other Sections. They have the most rest times since they can't teach the other Sections, so they can do what they want by doing more works. This is the reason why the students of Section Anima suffers a case of 'Boredom' because their lesson periods are longer. The most notable feature in this office is that teachers have their separate rooms. They won't have to spend their time in cubicles or being disturbed the othe teachers.
Inside of Aliana's room, the walls are colored in white with beige linnings. The furniture looked like it was came from the near future, with her table and chair looked like they are levitating. Instead of books made of paper (Though there are still few of them), they are made of glass.
Aliana opens the box. The box is filled with many papers. When she organized the papers by the names of the students, her face was filled in regret. She takes out her notebook and lists all of the students including how many of the names were on.
It was hard to see the results. And she really regret on disqualifying Kyoko and Jet.
